I found it very tough to dwindle my list down to five. Other songs I considered:

In Dreams - Roy Orbison
Lover, You Should've Come Over - Jeff Buckley
Cry Me a River - Justin Timberlake
Skinny Love - Bon Iver
Landlocked Blues - Bright Eyes
When You Were Mine - Prince
Don't Speak - No Doubt

Forgot about Skinny Love, that's a good one. I guess it technically is but I would never think of I Want You Back as a break up song, I hear that and am automatically in a good mood.

That's the cool thing about music, it can mean whatever you want it to mean.

Can't get them all haha. Black has gotta be up there for the guys, whereas Don't Speak was an anthem for the ladies.

Agreed. The subject of Epiphany isn't related to the topic but it's such a powerful song. I remember the first time I heard it and how emotional I got to this day. Aaron Lewis is great. He might be a drunk asshole but dude can write and sing.

I don't know anything about Adele though, lol

grace2 · 02-12-2017, 12:22 PM

i don't really know exactly which songs are specifically break-up songs, so it's kind of hard to answer

jmkratt · 02-12-2017, 12:23 PM

Well what would you listen to if you broke up? That's how I took it.

CrashTheStone41 · 02-12-2017, 01:10 PM

1. Boys II Men - End of the Road
2. Jim Croce - Operator
3. Ray Lamontagne - Burn
4. Glen Hassard - Say It To Me Now
5. Sinead O'Connor - Nothing Compares To You

Honorable Mention: Any song ever written by Adele.

TrippinNancies1 · 02-12-2017, 03:20 PM

Bob Dylan- Don't Think Twice, It's Alright
Neil Young- A Man Needs A Maid
Kanye West- Blood On The Leaves
Tom Waits- Hang Down Your Head

Didn't insane clown posse have a pretty awesome break up song? Pretty much the only song of theirs I could listen to when my buddy was in that "phase".

jcc522 · 02-12-2017, 05:03 PM

I think I'll just stay here and drink- Merle Haggard

well okay I wasn't making that reply specifically to you, just happened to be in the same post as quoting you.

But given how popular she's been right out of the gate and the majority of her first 2 albums seemed greatly inspired by breakups...

snow1868 · 02-13-2017, 05:46 AM

Has no one seriously mentioned "Song For the Dumped" by Ben Fold's Five? I mean....the title speaks for itself.

No particular order for me:
No One's Gonna Love You - Band of Horses
Song For the Dumped - Ben Folds Five
Stay or Leave - Dave Matthews
Skinny Love - Bon Iver
Don't Speak - No Doubt

Rodey · 02-13-2017, 06:52 AM

I don't know if they'd rank in my top five, but I listened to these a lot after my last breakup a year and a half ago:

Muse - Dead Inside
Mumford and Sons - Lover of the Light
Mumford and Sons - Where are You Now?

mthawk07 · 02-13-2017, 06:59 AM

Puddle of Mudd - She Hates Me

/thread

TheLastStop123 · 02-13-2017, 07:01 AM

how has no one mentioned Come Pick Me Up by Ryan Adams? That's my quintessential breakup song.

FromTheMorning · 02-13-2017, 07:03 AM

I view Banshee Beat by Animal Collective as a breakup song and therefore it's my favorite. One of the best songs I've ever heard.

**jenhen27** · 02-13-2017, 07:25 AM

Slow Dancing in a Burning Room - John Mayer
Miss Misery - Elliot Smith
Perfect - Smashing Pumpkins
Stay - Sugarland
I Will Always Love You - Dolly Parton

Honorable Mention:

Somebody that I used to Know - Gotye
We are Never Getting Back Together - Taylor Swift

The Blower's Daughter

recentlyJTR41 · 02-13-2017, 08:56 AM

You Fucked Up - Ween

recentlyJTR41 · 02-13-2017, 09:03 AM

Only time I've broken up with a GF I didn't really listen to music to get through it because I didn't want to associate good music with bad memories. That's just me though tbh

dmb41er · 02-13-2017, 10:22 AM

Heard It Through The Grapevine - Marvin Gaye
Since I Been Loving You - Led Zeppelin
Ain't Got No, I Got Life - Nina Simone
Burn - Ray LaMontane
Crazy - Patsy Cline

M. Steng · 02-13-2017, 11:19 AM

Another great one is "The Boy Who Blocked His Own Shot" by Brand New. I was like 13 when that song came out and just got dumped for the first time like three weeks earlier, I think that was the first time a song actually made me cry
