Break-up Tunes / F U Songs



Yeah Valentine's Day just passed and love surrounded everyone for a day, but for some it's a day where all the happy couples shove their matrimony right in our face. We here at Song of the Day Fridays are bringing some ant-venom to your Valentine's hangover. Break Up songs and F U Songs!

Rob

Three Days Grace - "Human Race" 


Mr. T

REO Speedwagon - "Time For Me To Fly"


G-Man

Damien Rice - "Rootless Tree"

Seems like I went a bit of a different direction than Rob and Mr. T. You might be surprised to see a mellow song slinger like Damien Rice on a list like this and I too was a bit surprised when this song came on when I bought his second album 9. But it's great and sometimes you just need to scream it at someone. NSFW


Eamon - "Fuck It (Don't Want You Back)"

A classic F U track. Maybe one the first self-made internet musicians. This one held the Guinness Record for most expletive deleteds in a #1 hit. Might still hold that honour.


Doug

Toby Keith - "Big Blue Note"


Barenaked Ladies - "The Flag"


Dano

Fever Ray - "Keep The Streets Empty For Me"


Fever Ray - "When I Grow Up"


Jonny HP

Tool - "Swamp Song"


Honourable Mentions

The Greg Kihn Band - "The Break Up Song"
Huey Lewis & The News - "If This Is It"
Against Me! - "We're Breaking Up"
Roxette - "It Must Have Been Love"
Lily Allen - "Fuck You Very Much"
Alanis Morrisette - "You Oughta Know"
Amy Winehouse - "Back To Black"
Ben Folds Five - "Song For The Dumped"

G-Man

...And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead - "How Near How Far"

Don't know why these guys popped in my stream of thoughts the other day, but I decided to check out some of their top tunes and damn, not sure how they got by me. This album Source Tags & Codes will be added to my collection shortly

Rob

Rage Against The Machine - "Maggie's Farm"



Mr. T

FKJ - "We Ain't Feeling Time"



G-Man

Epiphanies & Home Tome Anthems



Rob

Pearl Jam - "Yellow Ledbetter"



Mr. T

Glenn Frey - "The Heat Is On"



G-Man

The Philosopher Kings - "New Messiah"

I was thinking about these guys the other day and how incredible their second album was, Famous, Rich & Beautful. A cool album, filled with sex songs and confidence. Most of these guys have gone on to the production and engineering side of the music business. We still have smokey songs like "New Messiah" to remember them by though


Doug

Lana del Rey - "Get Free"



Dano

Big Sugar - "Let It Ride"



Jonny HP

Slipknot - "The Heretic Anthem"

Musical January Emotions

Emotions are high and low tonight. Intensity is needed. Compassion a must. We can all lend our ears and provide shoulders to lean on. Strength is a prerequisite. Determination a birth right. Godspeed to you and everyone. We listen as one.


Rob

Big Wreck - "Blown Wide Open"



Mr. T

Neil Diamond - "Sweet Caroline"

RIP Mr. T's Grandfather...Song Of The Day's condolences 



G-Man

The Roots - "Stomp" feat. Greg Porn

I picked this song to inspire my favourite Basketball team to fight with a deep burning fire inside them against one of the NBA's marquee teams. Turns out...they already got the memo...


Doug

Kurtis Blow - "Basketball"



Dano

Chinese Man - "Liar" feat. Kendra Morris & Dillon Cooper



Jonny HP

The Glorious Sons - "Everything is Alright"

Hot Songs For Cold Weather


We're a week later and we're still not thawed out. The guys haven't seen each other through the frost and condensation. Let's see if their song picks can inspire some heat

Rob

Broadway - "The Last Saturday"


Mr. T

Chaka Demus - "Tease Me"



G-Man

The Avalanches - "Since I Left You"

I kind of wish The Avalanches didn't release their second album, it would have made their 2000 debut that much more legendary. This is the title track from that first album, with one of the funnest, saddest most original videos of the decade.


Doug

Alice Merton - "No Roots"


Dano

Flume & Chet Faker - "Drop The Game"


Jonny HP

TBD

Apparently Jonny is frozen to the Earth....thoughts and prayers
