The Rolling Stones released "Angie" 50 years ago today.

1. Some hate it (esp. women named Angie), but it's among the greatest break-up songs of all time

Small selection of other all-time faves:

Crowded House - Better Be Home Soon
Aerosmith - What It Takes
Hothouse Flowers - Sweet Marie (I'm Alive)
The Cure - Pictures of You
Jeff Buckley - Lover, You Should've Come Over and The Last Goodbye

[Bayard]

2. Plus,

The Eagles - After the Thrill is Gone

3. Honorable Mention ... doesn't quite hit me in the feels like the above 7 named songs

But it's a great, emotion-packed song nonetheless

Here's one I forgot ... one thing that makes it really great is you can't QUITE tell if it's about breaking up with a drug, or a lover. Either one works. And Amy just kills it on the vocals, just so powerful.
