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?

For me it comes down to all of Blue versus Young's "Old Man." The former I can only handle when I'm already devastated and it's speaking for me - and the latter makes me sad, but I can listen to it any time. I think it's the difference between raw sadness, and just sensitive suffering.
