You could launch a Landing poll: "Which Canadian musician should set the metric standard measurement for depressing? A) Neil Young. B) Leonard Cohen. C) Celine Dion, just for existing."
I vote for Sarah McLaughlin for winner of the "depressing beyond belief" category. Her Christmas album made me want to jump off a bridge. At least Leonard Cohen admits his style is depression-inspired but at least he jokes about his multiple medications.

Oooh. Yes. Surfacing was The Thing among young women in my early teen years*. Talk about a mope-fest. At least Celine Dion is peppy enough for a disco remix (and KD Lang has a cover of "Hallelujah" that makes Cohen-induced depression worthwhile).
*On a Dion-related note, so was Titanic. It was a depressing year.
