Sad Songs by Artists Known for Their Upbeatness

[Lavender10]

Depressing or slow songs, possibly with dark lyrics, from Bands and artists generally associated with Happy-go-lucky pick-me-ups.

Red Hot Chili Peppers - Pea
on One Hot Minute

 

[Death on Credit]

Hmm...I honestly can't say that I listen to any artists who are known for being upbeat...

 

[Mr. Bob Dobolina]

"Shades of Gray" by the Monkees, "Younger Generation" by the Lovin' Spoonful and "Caroline, No" by the Beach Boys fit the bill.

 

[Monterey]

Nearly everything by Janis Joplin....
