1. The River came out my freshmen year in college. Bought it, played it over and over till I knew every word and then I got to see him on that tour and it was the first time I saw Springsteen live. Still one of the best shows I have ever been to in my life. Great album. One my top 5 of all time!!! Plus it was a double album!!!

2. I simply cannot believe that none of you could remember the saddest song ever. It was by Hank Williams and it's called "I'm so lonesome I could cry". Nothing can compare to that. His lyrics come pretty close to Shakespere. Just listen to it.

3. "He Stopped Loving Her Today" by: George Jones(1978) gets my vote.

5. Hank Williams' "I'm So Lonesome I could Cry" and
George Jones "He Stopped Loving Her Today" are at the
top of my Sad Songs playlist.

6. I agree about "I am so lonesome I could cry". It was also done by B. J. Thomas. I like his version too.

7. "Don't take the girl" by Tim McGraw, that one makes me choke up.

8. Phyllis - you gotta hear "I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry" sung by the Cowboy Junkies. That'll make you take to your bed for a week.

13. Try this lyric on for size from Susan Werner's "Last of the Good Straight Girls" cd: "Passion's always half impossibility, but lovers that we lose we never dare forget - we visit them in mourning, in December and in May, at the graveyard of St. Mary's of Regret."

14. Hmmm..some are good, but not top 25. How could you not have "Dust in the Wind" or "Tell Laura I Love Her" or "Last Kiss" or "Cat in the Cradle" or "Is That All There Is?"
