I always like Billy Joel's "And So It Goes". Has a sort of Irish ballade vibe. I assume it was his way of dealing with breaking up with the totally hot Christie Brinkley.

This list is UTTERLY USELSSS without mentioning THE BREAKUP SONG from the Greg Kihn Band!

Thank you, I was about to post the same. How can you have a post about breakup songs without this absolute classic?!?

Poor guy sounds torn up.

Interesting list

I’d have listed the songwriter next to each song.

and re: Maggie May- Maggie would be going to jail nowadays so she’s lucky this is an old song.
