Here is my list of the greatest breakup songs....not in any particular order.
1. She got the Gold Mine (I got the shaft) - Jerry Reed: The title says it all
2. I Will Survive - Gloria Gaynor: This has become a chick anthem to the point of cliche.
3. Go Your Own Way - Fleetwood Mac: What makes this song so unique is the band members were singing it to each other injecting real emotion.
4. You Outta Know - Alanis Morrissette: In the 90s, no one needed prozac more than Alanis...
5. Black - Pearl Jam: If someone listens to this one over and over after a breakup, put them on suicide watch.
6. Goodbye to You - Scandal: Classic 80s synthpop...with attitude.
7. With or Without You - U2: The woman in this song is a whore.
8. Heartbreak Hotel - Elvis: Might have been about a real suicide
9. Crying - Roy Orbison: If this does not bum you out...
10. Yesterday - Beatles: The most covered song ever...
11. You're So Vain - Carly Simon: Another pissed off chick.
12. The Thrill is Gone - B.B. King: King is both freed from his situation, but also sad.
