I’m looking for a couple rock/punk songs for a CD about starting out as couple, having fun as a couple, and then breaking up. I need about 3-5 songs for each section. They could be old or new songs. thanks for the help.
Thin Lizzy were/are the kings of this kind of music, at the beginning of a relationship you could play one side of an album and when you break up just flip the album over (try any early album).

Hmmm… well, I’ve got a couple good break-up songs for you, both by Nine Inch Nails:
Something I Can Never Have
And All That Could Have Been
Well kinda hard to say where it would fit… maybe having fun as a couple?
Paradise by the Dashboard Light
And dunno how ‘rock’ it is but Every Rose Has It’s Thorn by Poison for the breaking up
Starting
So Alive by Love and Rockets
A Girl Like You by the Smithereens
Today Your Love, Tomorrow the World by the Ramones
Tonight I’m Gonna Rock You Tonight by Spinal Tap
Fireworks by the Tragically Hip
Middle
Never Let You Go by Third Eye Blind
Just Like Heaven by The Cure or the cover by Goldfinger
All For You by Sister Hazel
Like Lovers by Texas
Breaking Up
The Old Apartment by Barenaked Ladies
Song for the Dumped by Ben Folds Five or, in a more somber vein
Smoke by Ben Folds Five
Nice to Know You by Incubus
Grace is Gone by the Dave Matthews Band
“Stacker Lee” is an old standby, followed closely by “John Henry.”
What?
That was the first thing I was thinking of when I saw the subject. The only thing it doesn’t (technically) have is breaking up.
Breaking up:
Picture by Kid Rock and Sheryl Crowe
As a couple:
We Are The Lucky Ones by Bif Naked
Starting:
Two Princes by The Spin Doctors
Power of Love by Huey Lewis and the News
I have a bunch of other love songs that would fit but not so much rock as more pop type stuff.
Hmm… more as a Couple reminiscing of first times together… The Dolphin’s Cry by Live… okay no more tonight I just keep thinking of others.
Ahh… The Old Apartment. How did I not think of that?
The Spin Doctors AND Huey Lewis in one evil combination?

The horror. The horror.

Ah, yes, and one that may be situation-specific: “She Has A Girlfriend Now” by Reel Big Fish
