1/3 of the way there!

10. A song that makes you sad
Fleetwood Mac - Jumping At Shadows

Watch on YouTube

I was going to go with something else, then Peter Green went and died the other day, and I had to pick one of his last performances with Fleetwood Mac. He was on his way to being one of the great guitar heroes, and instead... schizophrenia happened. I got to see him live around the turn of the millennium, after he finally got on proper meds, and he seemed happy to be performing again... but he should have had more, damnit. 
God have mercy
But I think I'm going insane...

Oh damn, that is sad. (But also, I love how this song sounds. Guess I should really check out Fleetwood Mac sometime.)

Four decades on, still the most depressing smash hit in rock and roll history:

Great melody. Killer violin solo. Total bummer.
