Just trying to get over a break up where I've been messed about by a guy I really really liked - feel so heartbroken and so used AngrySad but I want to stop liking him and start hating him!!
Can anyone recommend any good break up songs?? The sort that make you think sod it I don't need that lying waste of space knob-end in my life anyway, and I deserve much better etc?

Oh yes @Ofthread - that is the best one ever. Such a brilliant song.

The Best Thing (That Never Happened) by We Are The In Crowd

Bloody Mother Fucking Asshole by Martha Wainwright
Messin With My Head by K Flay
You Oughta Know by Alannis Morisette

Yes - McAlmont & Butler I love this song.

My additions
Roar Katy Perry
Lose you to love me - Selena Gomez. The line ‘sing off key on my chorus, because it wasn’t yours’ had me choked up the first time I heard it
Fuck you - Ceelo Green (the radio version was Forget you, make sure you don’t get them mixed up when in the car with the DCs).
I’m sure I’ve got lots of others I can’t think of now.

Weak by Skunk Anansie. Listen to it on repeat and it’ll make you feel all powerful.

(Nothing Is) Colder Than You - The Walton’s. Album: Lik My Tractor.

For me it was:

Alterbridge - Metalingus (sounds vague from the title but it’s a solid song if you like rock).
Florence and the Machine - Shake it Out
Fleetwood Mac - Go Your Own Way
TLC - Switch
