Echo & The Bunnymen - Crocodiles
31 years old but still sounds as fresh as back in the early days of post punk. Brilliant outburst of energy and anxiety at the same time. The whole album, but this track especially, just breathes angst. Brilliant work. Their second album was even darker, after that they moved a bit away from the post punk sound. Those early records still sound brilliant.

and now Joy Division - Day of the Lords
Music rarely reflected depression as well as this song. The monotome, slow basslines and drums, the echoing sounds, the tortured vocals. It all falls into place brilliantly. Masterpiece. If only Ian Curtis had lived longer, Joy Division could have been one of the most influential bands of all time (as far as they aren't that already even despite having released only 2 albums)
