Sad Songs

Where is the line between the music whose sadness you enjoy and the music whose sadness you don't?

What is the saddest song you can listen to? And the saddest song you can't?

i think there's a LOT of rap which runs heartbreaking music against non-heartbreaking vocals -- and actually the sadness of the music is contextual almost (ie in its original context it was there for another emotional effect, but the effect once sample and placed in the rap story operates by reflective distance from what WAS MEANT TO BE vs what NOW IS)
