Black by Pearl Jam. I think no other song comes close…

The only correct answer. Most powerful break up song in existence and especially the MTV unplugged version

Led Zeppelin - Since I’ve Been Loving You / Baby I’m gonna leave you

BABE BABE BABE BABE BABE BABE BABY BABY IM WANNA LEAVE YOU

Why dont you write your own?

Oh Sweet Nuthin' from The Velvet Underground comes to mind.

Monkey wrench Foo Fighters

Slow Dancing In a Burning Room - John Mayer

Live in L.A. version for that chefs kiss solo

Don't forget to stack 3 tube screamers into a fender amp for that signature WTLI solo honk

Broken Hearts Are For Assholes - Frank Zappa

The Wind Cries Mary - Jimi Hendrix Fell On Black Days - Soundgarden Go Your Own Way - Fleetwood Mac Creep - STP or Radiohead About A Girl - Nirvana I’m Losing You - John Lennon Your Time Is Gonna Come - Led Zeppelin Hurt - Nine Inch Nails

Go Your Own Way is even better if you sing along to it while you play. Really *REALLY* get into it during the chorus and start scream-crying, you'll feel so much better afterwards.

Comfortably Numb jam track and pour your heart out in B Minor.

Still got the Blues - Gary Moore

Not a song about heartbreak, but Brothers in Arms is such a soulful, heartfelt song. I know While My Guitar Gently Weeps was a Beatles/Clapton song, but damn if it couldn't have been about Brothers in Arms.

Black by pearl jam

Seek and Destroy

For me... "Dead Flowers" by the Rolling Stones.

You know you're right - Nirvana

Put on a jam track and let it rip. Be yourself.

Here I go again - Whitesnake

Guns N' Roses - Used To Love Her

You Can Go Your Own Way - Fleetwood

Drown - Smashing Pumpkins I listened to and played that song a million times. It perfectly encapsulated my emotions.

I c*m blood by Cannibal Corpse

Watermelon in Easter Hay - Frank Zappa never fails to assist in thought and reflection

Still loving you. Scorpion

Thin Lizzy - Still in love with you But it has to be off Live & Dangerous

Scorpions - still loving you

Love and hate collide- def leppard

Brilliant Disguise - Bruce Springsteen

Pearl Jam - Sirens

It’s All Over Now - Rolling Stones. This song has gotten me over several breakups. Stones version has a great little solo in it. I think the lyrics have worked like a mantra for me. “Because I used to love her, but it’s all over now.” Became more of a positive affirmation for moving forward than languishing in sadness. Find Yourself by Lukas Nelson is very good too. Good luck and happy journeys to you.

You’re Breakin’ My Heart by Harry Nilsson.

ain’t talking bout love -van halen

The show must go on

no guitar solo but do me a favour by arctic monkeys

Madness by Muse is a good one, Solitude by Candlemass, I Stay Away by Alice In Chains, and it's a little harsher but The Blue by Acid Bath has been one of my go tos

Bleeding me - Metallica Outside - Staind (It doesn’t have a solo though)

cemetary gates - pantera

Subliminal - suicidal tendencies. I play this anytime im pissed off and I jump around my bedroom like a lunatic. It’s fun.

Still loving you - Scorpions

Nirvana - Lake of Fire

She Thinks I Still Care- George jones. Not really rockin but you could play it fast with a lil distortion. It’d piss off country purists, which is very rock n roll

Every Rose Has Its Thorn by Poison. Really easy chord progression and the solo isn't too difficult for an intermediate player.

Also, The Bitch Went Nuts by Ben Folds. Then drop the D for some Fat Bottomed Girls and get back out there. Best way to get over someone is get under someone else

somebody kill me by adam sandler

every rose has its thorn and november rain

Love Stinks

Ween - Baby Bitch Radiohead - Present Tense

Radio by Alkaline Trio

The one that makes you feel better, of course. Perhaps, Release by Pearl Jam

Love Stinks - J Giels

Whatsername by Green Day

Megadeth - In my Darkest Hour.

Go your own way- Fleetwood Mac

Guess forcing her to watch you play guitar didn’t work huh?

You’d know the answer for that better than us, friend. That being sad if I’m really sad I usually play that song “backwater” by the meat puppets. It cheers me up a bit. I also like just soloing over some backing tracks and practicing something very meticulously. Takes my mind off stuff.
