Electric Light Orchestra/Tear Jerker

This progressive rock band has some pretty sad songs.

---

• "Eldorado" is about a man who decides to stay in a fantasy world because he can't take the real world anymore.
• "Can't Get It Out Of My Head", from the same album, can make the tears rain down as well.
• "The Way Life's Meant To Be" is a song about change, the future, and letting go of the place you once called home. In fact, the entire Time album (which is basically a story about a man taken to the future, being separated from all he loves, trying to cope with it and then being sent back so that he can make the world into a better place.)
• Tell me you don't cry when you hear "Wild West Hero". Go on, all of you, tell me.
• "Telephone Line" (which, admittedly, kind of straddles the line between being sad and lugubrious).
