10 Tunes about suicide

  1. Adam’s Song Blink 182

    Not a huge fan of this band. However, this is the most poignant song about suicide ever written.

  2. Suicide The Damned

    Heavy handed. One wonders if Vanian missed the boat and should have recorded this goth style in the mid-80’s.

  3. Suicide Solution Ozzy Osbourne

    Anti suicide song that caused a big hub bub by the usual twits that never actually read the lyrics.

  4. The Ledge Replacements

    Introspective account, from the defanged, post Bob Stinson version.

  5. Rock N Roll Suicide David Bowie

    Glamorous? Sure! If he would have taken his own advice, man, that woulda been the greatest r n r move of all time.

  6. Suicides An Alternative / You’ll Be Sorry Suicidal Tendencies

    Just a great moshing song. Does anybody remember moshing?

  7. Can’t Stand Losing You The Police

    Pre-megastardom paean to self-pity.

  8. Fade To Black Metallica

    Does anyone remember Metallica??????

  9. Ode To Billy Joe Bobbie Gentry

    “got some news this mornin’ from Choctaw Ridge” that “Billie Joe McAllister jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge”

  10. A Day Without Me U2

    Little known fact that U2’s first single from the Boy album was about suicide.
