well if we're gonna break out the kenny rogers, then let's throw in jolene by
dolly parton and that cheesy song by george jones that goes "he stopped
loving her today/ they placed a wreath upon his door/and soon they'll carry
him away/ he stopped loving her today"

I've been having this discussion too. My ideas are:

Ruby Don't Take Your Love to Town - Kenny Rogers
Georgia Lee - Tom Waits
A Rose For Emily - The Zombies
Eleanor Rigby - The Beatles
Last Kiss - The Frank Wilson version not the Pearl Jam
one
Holocaust - Big Star
Unsatisfied - The Replacements

etc.
