Nice picks!

Stacey's Mom - Fountains of Wayne.

Sarah McLachlan:
I Will Remember You

Ruff Endz - If I was the one

Love the one you're with, Stephen Stills?

And don't forget the Oldie:

Hank Williams:
I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry

And the big old big one:

Patsy Cline:
Sweet Dreams

Why Does Love Got to Be So Sad -- Derek & the Dominoes

And of course... LOVE STINKS...J Giles Band

and my favorite --- Your Breaking My Heart....Harry Nilsson

I really am old.....

"Anyone Who Had A Heart" Written by Burt Bacharach but check out Shelby Lynne's version. It's a real heart breaker!

Though I much prefer The Psycho-ologist's picks above, I occasionally dig the mid-80's, so...

No One Is To Blame - Howard Jones
Something About You - Level 42

what's so funny bout peace love and understanding

Human League, "Don't you want me baby"

This will make an awesome playlist.

I love that howard jones song!

On the lighter side...

Everything But The Girl - Missing

1. 98 Degrees - Invisible man

Obsession - Frankie J

Heaven - Voices of Theory

Okay, since Carnivore cited Roxanne, Roxanne, I'm going to suggest Temporary Love Thing by Full Force. Also, I Can't Make You Love Me by Bonnie Raitt is a killer. The chorus alone will have you crying on your keyboard...

UTFO and Full Force really takes me back to my childhood. I remember seeing a young Blair Underwood at the end of the Temporary Love Thing video.

I have an oldie and two contemporary ones to add.

Maria - TKA

Thin Line - Jurassic 5

Stitched Up - John Mayer

jack's mannequin rules

Puddle of Mudd - She Fucking Hates Me

The OP hasn't been back I wonder if this list is for personal use or he/she needed to find songs to match with a film or something of the sort. (I want that job btw, choosing soundtracks!)
