Top 5 Saddest Punk Albums Of All Time

Sad music has been an important part of my life for quite awhile now, so compiling this list was an interesting challenge to see if I could condense years and years of listening/being bummed out, into one top 5 list. Some of these albums I haven’t listened to in a while. It was really neat dusting off some old records, and remembering all the things I had associated them.  Maybe you agree with these choices, maybe you don’t. Either way, each one of these albums is worth a listen.

Find out which albums we think are the Top 5 Saddest of All Time below.
