It all depends on the type of depression and the subject matter of the song for me. If the two go hand in hand, I get dragged down deeper.
Some stuff that will get me pretty much every time (and has yet to be mentioned):
Bill Withers - Ain't No Sunshine
Sam Cooke - A Change is Gonna Come
The Cure - Disintegration (song and album)
BTW, I don't really find the Swans to be depressing, either. Definitely dark, but not depressing.

this one isn't a new song, but i think beethoven's moonlight sonata is the most depressing song i've ever heard. especially done in b-minor.

Wow.. good topic.
Lets see... Something I can never have - NIN.
I once had that song on repeat for 4 hours one night. Was a very bad night for me. Lets just say that I never want to feel that depressed again.
Losing my religion - Tori Amos. Very haunting and depressing cover on the Higher Education soundtrack.
Plus lots of stuff already mentioned.
The Cure's Disintrigration album fits depression nicely. Also a couple songs on Wish.

Big Star - "Holocaust" (man, I could hit the lottery and still contemplate suicide after hearing that one!)
Bob Dylan - "If You See Her, Say Hello" (for those pining for their ex, as I've been known to do from time to time)
John Lennon - "Watching the Wheels" (every time I hear it, it just reminds me of how quickly his life was cut short after recording this)
Beach Boys - "Till I Die" (sounds like Brian Wilson's farewell to the world, in a sense)
Richard Thompson - "Whithered and Died" ('nuff said)
-edit to add-
Wow, how could I forget...
Replacements - "Here Comes a Regular"
Love - "Signed D.C."

In my opinion there is no better music to be depressed to than just about anything off the first two Hayden records, Everything I Long For and The Closer I Get. Some really great depressing songs:
Bad as they Seem-about pining for local girls and their moms while living with your parents
Skates-about a guy who can't swim buying a pair of ice skates so he can go looking for his wife in the stream she drowned in once it freezes over
when this is over-a song from the point of view of one of susan smith's kids
And many more!
