Post 'em.

I had a whole list in mind but the one thing that stood out at this moment is....

The majority of the Nine Inch Nails discography.

been digging this one on occasion, lately:

Why did I think of Charles Burnett when I listened to that song? It just seem just like the type of song he would play as a narrative to a scene from his movies.

Odd you should post this, some of my favorite songs are eerie, mildly creepy. I just like the mystery of that music.

Obviously one pick would be P's There's Others Here With Us. Damning.

Dead Can Dance did a traditional Irish ballad. The song is both creepy and sad at the same time:

Then, there's TSOL:

The Church:

Obviously, Portishead:

Hold me.

Ennio Morricone is the master of murk:

There's always Bernard Herrman:

"Dr Blind" - Emily Haines and the Soft Skeleton

If Prince didn't walk around with a stick ever-so-firmly up his ass, I would've flooded this thread with a bunch of 'em, you kidding?

Old Friends 4 Sale(the '86 version)

Computer Blue(the long version)

And MANY more.

When I was real little, I used to live with my grandparents in the country. This is the type of music my grandfather used to play (simple country style blues). Everything else was noise to him.

I was pretty big fan of Mazzy Star back in the day. It's almost a little embarrassing now, but I'm not sure why. They rocked the eerie music like no other.

Absolutely! Especially this one:

And there's a whole different world weariness to Johnny Cash's version:

Both versions are top notch

The whole BBC Radiophonic Workshop's body of work can be considered as such while we're at it,

runners dial zero = beck

the amazing sounds of orgy = radiohead

and i was recently remembering how dark the tori amos single and video for "spark"

were. the song is beautiful, and a bit dark, but the video made it much more eerie...

there's tons more of dark and eerie shit that i like. i seem to prefer those songs

Something in the Water is actually my favorite Prince song of all time. *nods eagerly*

"There's Others Here With Us" is really dark and eerie too.

When I listen to TDS, I never listen to "Hurt" *hides*.

I always go for "Eraser", "Reptile" and "I Do Not Want This".

Probably all of Alice In Chains' Dirt qualifies but these are probably my two favourites:

One of my all-time favorite eerie songs is by Patti Smith--"Horses." It always reminded me of a play called "Equus" about a mentally-disturbed boy who stabbed the eyes out of some horses because he was sexually conflicted...
