Song(s) that make you feel worse instead of better

Have you ever tried listening to an angry or sad song in order to try to cope with an event or people that drive you insanely furious or send you in a deep sadness and in the end said song only makes your life even worse?

In my case, sometimes when I'm dealing with difficult people in college, I try to cope with my anger in some way (i.e. talking to others, praying to God, etc.). When those fail, I turn to music.

Usually most thrashy songs get my frustration out, but one song, Mercyful Fate's "The Oath" to be precise, always drains me in the end, and makes me even more angry, thus I feel even worse than I was before (also since "The Oath" is incredibly satanic, I even find myself asking for God's forgiveness after listening to it).

What song(s) have a similar effect on you guys?

Don't get me wrong.  I like this song.  Buy I also feel kind of depressed after listening to it.
At least, that's what Gary Busey told me...

I just really hate it.

It makes my skin crawl...
I normally like a cheesy power ballad but this is too much even for me !!!
                                             

If God exists, why did he make me an atheist? Thats His first mistake.

This song (and album) is insanely depressing yet beautiful at the same time. I used to listen to this song before I'd go to work. One of the very few bands I can think of that can invoke suicidal feelings in you even if you're in an ok mood.

this track is called 'If You Buy This Record (Your Life Will Be Better)', but ironically every time I heard it on the radio back in the late 90s my life instantly became worse for the duration of the song, such is its crapness.

In the year 2525 always gave me creeps as a kid.  To this day, if I hear it come on, I'll change the radio station or leave the room.
