Singing the Breakup Blues

They say music tames the savage beast. Well, what’s beastlier than an ugly, hairy, foul-smelling breakup?

Everyone has their own style when it comes to breakup songs, but if you’re looking for some inspiration, Askmen.com put together a list of the top ten breakup songs, complete with videos. Their list skews a little to the heavy metal crowd, but it’s a good start.

Some other great songs that will surely have you reaching for your Kleenex box before you’re even finished reading this post are “How Am I Supposed to Live Without You,” by Michael Bolton “50 Ways to Lose Your Lover,” by Paul Simon and “Against All Odds” by Phil Collins. Also, pretty much anything by a mariachi band or country music singer should help put that beast to bed.

Did your song make the cut? If not, tell us the best background music for a night of crying into your pillow. [Askmen.com]

My b/f of 12 years and I broke up six months ago. My breakup song is Daughtry's "Over You." I helps tremendously on my weak days.

Nightswimming by REM, Ryan Adams I Taught Myself How to Grow Old, and Halleluia by Jeff Buckley are all good for a cry (breakup related or no.

Any good tunes for getting back on your feet and feeling powerful again?

PS That's a book, not song. See what the slightest thought of her does?
