Looking for motivational songs to help with overcoming H affair and deceit

Some of you may have read my post on my H leaving me for a co-worker and know that I am really struggling to cope.

Music is very important to me but I can't bear to have radio on or use my I-pod as there are so many songs that bring back memories.

My H has an I-tunes account which I don't think he's deactivated yet so I'm looking to fill my I-pod with songs that will help me during the bad times to get my strength back and I would like some suggestions.

I have thought of Alanis Morrisette - You Oughta Know and Kelis, Caught Out There (I hate you so much right now).

Are there any other suggestions?

Even more votes for McAlmont and Butler, as well as Titanium.

And can I suggest, with an 80s vibe, Howard Jones, New Song?

I've been waiting for so long
To come out and sing a new song
Oh, don't be fooled by what you see
Don't be fooled by what you hear..

Don't crack up, bend your brains
See both sides, throw off your mental chains (woo hoo hoo!)

It's very upbeat.

Mine have been Allanis Morrisette - You Oughta Know and Kelly Clarkson - Stronger. I always sing a long to these. The words are good and say what I feel. I also like Scouting For Girls - This Ain't A Love Song (used to have this as XH's ringtone) although it always makes me cry.

Ok so showing off my early 90s goth, but...

All about Eve's farewell mr sorrow is a beautiful tune and very apt (I believe we made a vow beside the fireside, well I'm sure I lied when I promised you.... Farewell mr sorrow, tomorrow is my own)

Self indulgent mopey one - Shirley basseys lilac wine (about getting drunk when dumped)

But absolutely the best angry juvenile song around - and VERY rare, is a song by a tongue in cheek goth band called the Scary Bitches. With the chorus as follows:

I hope you die young
I hope you die in pain
I hope you die alone in the pouring rain
I hope you die cold
And empty inside
They send you to hell on the other side.
And I hope that I'm still alive
So I can dance and sing and
Piss all over your grave

Grin. The title is the last line.

Chris Evans played 'Crash' this morning... Lyrics are spot on. Good turned up really loud.
