But it's a wimpy song, so here's the Stones instead.
The Last Time - The Rolling Stones

"The Last Time"--a great depressing addition. I also agree that "Love Hurts" *is* perfect for this thread. Here, I tried to find a cover that is a little less wimpy than Roy Orbison's, followed by the Everly Brothers' original:
Joan Jett - "Love Hurts" (Cover)
Everly Brothers - "Love Hurts" ... written and composed by Felice and Boudleaux Bryant; recorded by The Everly Brothers in 1960

Heh..."Baby Bitch" is a good anti-love song, especially since it sounds so sweet.

I've never really cared for the Lillith Fair variety, but you can see why it emerged. Strong showing from the ladies in the late 90's.

I'd never heard Poe's "Angry Johnny" and think it counts as an anti-love song, since the lyrics are all about wanting to kill this Johnny person. Not much love there!
