    Meanest Love Songs: No. 20

    • Posted   by Spinner Staff

    Sure, there are many silly love songs about infatuation and devotion, but there's an equal number of not-so-silly hate songs about bitterness and revenge directed at a former love object. The following artists, who expose the flip side of romance, would likely agree with fellow bitter scribe Joe Jackson's words: "Fools in love -- are there any creatures more pathetic?"

    'Go Your Own Way'
    --Fleetwood Mac (1977)

    The Kiss-Off: "Packing up, shackin' up's all you want to do"

    Stevie Nicks supposedly insisted that her then-boyfriend, bandmate Lindsey Buckingham, remove the line from this enthusiastic sayonara, which gave the Mac arguably their most enduring hit. Buckingham refused, and he had the added satisfaction of getting his soon-to-be-ex to sing backup on her own send-off.

    Umm, hello, Elton John - Someone Saved My Life Tonight:

    And someone saved my life tonight sugar bear
    You almost had your hooks in me didn't you dear
    You nearly had me roped and tied
    Altar-bound, hypnotized
    Sweet freedom whispered in my ear
    You're a butterfly
    And butterflies are free to fly
    Fly away, high away, bye bye

    "Why'd Ya Do It?" by Marianne Faithfull (from the CD Broken English)....the "mean love songs" on this list sound like Radio Disney by comparison.

    Yup....might make your list of meanest love songs, but also on the list for one of the most popular, classic rock tunes in music history. The band is already in the rock and roll hall of fame...

    For sad sad songs how about Janis Ians "At 17"? Or "Macarthur park" by Elvis? Or Roberta Flacks "Killing me softly" Nilssons "I cant live if living is without you", Pat Benetars"Hell is for children", Don macleans "vincent", The Bee Gees "I started a Joke" Elvis Presly "In the Ghetto", Chris Issak "wicked game", Simon and Grafunkel "Sounds of Silence" Two from Elton John "Funeral for a friend", Good bye Norma Jean".Your list was "sadly" missing some timeless tunes....

    How about Harry Nilsson's lyric "You broke my heart so f*ck you!" I am not sure of the song title but I remember the girlfriend who put it on my turntable before she walked out of my life thirty odd years ago!
