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?

There are certain Boards Of Canada tracks I still don't really enjoy listening to but that is as much the eerieness/creepiness as any sense sadness. 'Aquarius' is extraordinary but fitted into that category but there are lots of equally gloomy sounding BOC tracks I totally dig (esp. their older shonkier stuff) and I don't fully understand this yet. 'Turquoise Hexagon Sun' may be their most melancholic effort altho I always found that one a bit too dull.
