Pink Floyd, I would agree are depressing, although that could be brought down to Waters. Not the biggest fan of him either but that's because I like David Gilmour and Richard Wright so I feel an obligation to be disdainful to Waters (we know each other personally obviously). I wouldn't have thought Syd Barret was entirely depressing. My favourites are Fearless, Shine On You Crazy Diamond, Careful With That Axe Eugene, One of These Days. Hmmm also most of Live In Pompeii.
Gah. As I sit in this heat, a hail and deafening thunder storm shall effectively bring this post to a conclusion. F*cking tropics. Pick a temperature and stay with it.

for Zep-a bit dark sound wise...you know, all rock, no pretty harmonies or super lilting guitars, no girl voice - of course their songs are kinda pretty, but..My friend played me a roger waters solo CD, and it was so insightful, lyrically, about the state of the world (oo, mac just came on the radio, unfortunately it's don't stop) so i would blame waters too (laugh) and I can't really discuss Floyd knowledgeably, so i don't know who's "fault" it is, but the overall sound is depress-o-rama.
