What's your favorite heartbreak song?
Submitted by esta86.

I'm not sure that I necessarily classify it as a "heartbreak" song, but Ben Folds Five's "Selfless, Cold, and Composed" is, in my opinion, the best break-up-related song I've ever heard.  (Harvey Danger's cover of "Underground," a song originally by "This Busy Monster," is one of the best angry-break-up songs I've ever heard.)  Now that I'm thinking more in-depth, Billy Joel's "And So It Goes" is a pretty amazing "heartbreak" song.  Oh geez, and let's not forget Billy Vera and the Beaters, with "At This Moment."  Amazing stuff.  Alison Krauss's "New Favorite" is the only one by a woman I can think of right now, but that's just because I'm determined not to think too much into this question right now.

And now, to attempt to knock out the last stress of my week:  a 6-7 page paper that I haven't even really begun to think about, which I will have to turn in around 9:30 tomorrow morning.
