Cake's 'I Will Survive'

We've all been in the world of the big and bad break-up, where everything is dark and gloomy. In our past On A High Note profiles, acts like Roger Sanchez (Phil Collins' 'One More Night'), Force Vomit (David Bowie and Marianne Faithfull's 'I Got You Babe') and MC Dandee from Bangkok Invaders (Mariah Carey's 'We Belong Together') have all shared their break-up songs with Junk. Now here are our 11 picks in three stages: grieving, accepting and surviving!

1. Justin Timberlake - 'Cry Me A River'
2. Lisa Loeb - 'Stay'
3. Sinead O'Connor - 'Nothing Compares 2 U'
4. James Blunt - 'Goodbye My Lover'
5. REM - 'Everybody Hurts'
6. Ben Folds Five - 'Songs For The Dumped'
7. Black Eyed Peas - 'Shut Up'
8. Feist - 'Let It Die'
9. Daughtry - 'Over You'
10. Cher - 'Believe'
11. Cake - 'I Will Survive'

We want to hear from you, our readers, on what your ultimate break-up song is. Is it a happy clappy song to get rid of your blues or do you believe that angry songs like Joan Jett's 'I Hate Myself For Loving You' will get you out of the slump? Spill!
