I'd go with the one-two punch of:
"I Know It's Over" and "Never Had No One Ever"
almost unlistenable unless you're not in the right mood

True, although, Waltz #2 isn't sad for me - the tempo of the instruments is full to me.
I'm a dork - many songs by Glen Phillips/Toad The Wet Sprocket and then, Griffin House. I remember in college, a guilty pleasure of Sarah McLaughlin tunes.
Dylan - Love Minus Zero
A few off of Plans(DCFC) - Summer Skin, Follow…
