“Punk Rock Girl” by the Dead Milkmen is the greatest love song ever. Greatest ‘i-got-dumped’ song is Nirvana’s “Lounge Act.” Listen closely and you can hear it.

Joost | 2/15/2007, 1:26 pm EST

Can’t believe no one mentioned I want you by Elvis Costello. By far the best song about having been dumped

jr | 2/15/2007, 1:14 pm EST

Staind’s “It’s Been Awhile” is full of regret and lost. It should have been on the list.

M | 2/15/2007, 1:11 pm EST

My Morning Jacket- Hopefully. Its just a beautiful love song

Audrey | 2/15/2007, 12:12 pm EST

I think there’s only one song worthy of being a song to tell someone else that you love them.

unchained melody - righteous brothers. try not to think of ghost while you hear it and it works.

Robert | 2/15/2007, 7:54 am EST

None of the ones I had in mind are even up there!

Gabe | 2/15/2007, 12:18 am EST

Dry Your Eyes by The Streets is one of my favorite breakup songs

MJM | 2/14/2007, 11:45 pm EST

marnr67 | 2/14/2007, 11:43 pm EST

Ryan | 2/14/2007, 9:57 pm EST

Someone you’re breaking up with mixtape needs “Don’t Think Twice, It’s All Right” by Mr. Zimmerman. It’s the greatest break-up song of all time.
