Most of the genre
There a couple different songs that come to mind. Definitely one of the following two. The Postal Service - Sleeping In
The Rolling Stones - You Can't Always Get What You Want
I can't believe no one has mentioned this one! (Play it loud...)
I know you're not a fan of Mr. Buckley, but Last Goodbye is definitely one that I've turned to in the past.
If you are on the losing end it's hard to top 'I don't wanna get over you' by the Magnetic Fields imho...
Nothing compares to you - Probably THE definition of a break up song / video.
Just a freind - Biz Markie's opus on heartache.
Let's see....another old random....how about
Jamie by Weezer. Not explicitly about a breakup. More of an unrequited love kind of situation. But you still gotta feel for him.You've got the Beach Boys, and your firm's got the Stones. But I know you won't leave me alone.
Depends on what you want the song for. If it's to mope then this isn't it. Harry Nillson - You're Breaking My Heart
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=02lXLiFsRtE "You're Breaking My Heart,
You're Tearing it Apart,
So Fuck You."
Maybe as an immediate reaction. When I cool down a little I prefer Lynyrd Skynyrd - Freebid But I'd like her to think I'm listening Ludacris - Area Codes ;) It's terribly tricky to find good breakup music if you're a guy.
