Literally most 80's and 90's "hair metal" bands.
Then there's Steely Dan who goes the opposite direction. He looks and sounds middle of the road, but the lyrics are dark as fuck. Used to only know of him because of jokes about his music being soft as shit, and then I took the time to actually listen to it and I was blown away.
Have you ever listened to the lyrics for Simon and Garfunkel songs? They make the most beautiful and serene music, all about darkness, loneliness, and desperation.
Funnily enough Disturbed's Remix of Sound of Silence goes pretty hard. And now I've heard remixes of a remix
I don't like this cover particularly much, but it definitely stays true to the feel of the original.
"Bye bye love" is a pretty funny one by S&G as the lyrics are all about heartache bordering full on depression, but people love to clap along to the upbeat melody.
