TheTopTens crafted a Top 10 list of the "saddest rock songs of all time," with fans being the masterminds behind the voting and giving the No.1 spot to Slipknot's "Snuff." Fans commented that it's "powerful" and "emotional" and guarantees to make anyone tear up hearing its lyrics.
Categorized as a ballad, the song was released in 2008 as the fifth and final single from Slipknot's fourth studio album, All Hope is Gone. It was a success immediately upon release, landing at No. 2 on Billboard's Mainstream Rock chart. The song has some backstory, having been the last song with original bassist Paul Gray before his death months later, and the departure of Joey Jordison in 2013.
In prior interviews about the song, Jordison admitted that the lyrics were all frontman Corey Taylor's doing and calls it his "masterpiece". Though he rarely contributed to the band’s songwriting at the time, Taylor heard the track Gray and Jordison were developing, and laid down the vocals. Jordison later added the drums, and the next day, Corey was moved to tears after hearing the finished version.
The list also includes other hits like Pearl Jam's "Black," Green Day's "Wake Me Up When September Ends," Metallica's "Unforgiven," Avenged Sevenfold's "I Won't See You Tonight Part 1," and Evanescence's "My Immortal."
