Best Prince break up songs?

Angry songs? Songs for sadness? Songs for moving on/independence and survival? What are your top Prince break up songs?

Empty Room does it for me, Skywalker. I was at the August 28th 2007 London Indigo aftershow right at the front when he gave a live rendition of what The Undertaker LP sequel would have sounded like, i.e. a blistering rock show. Empty Room was in the set and it was one of the most powerful performances i have seen. Obsessed with the song ever since.

Without a doubt, "Do Yourself A Favor" is my favorite kiss off song.

Yes, that did it for me too! Had it on repeat a lot on a 7hr train journey out of town straight off a break up.

Definitely, but I think this is good for the later stages of dealing with a break-up. I think they progress something like this:
1. Eye Love U, but Eye Don't Trust U Anymore - You realize that the breakup is inevitable.
2 . 17 Days - The break-up really sucks at this point.
3. Empty Room - 17 days have become 30 days...and it still sucks.
4. Do Yourself A Favor - You are starting to get your head right again and you realize that it really is your ex's loss, but you're still a little bitter.
5. (I can't think of a song for this stage; somebody help) - You really are over it and are choosing to remember the good things about the relationship.

I thought about that, but I think that sing refers to a couple who is still in the relationship (albeit a tumultuous one) and there is no intent to get out of it at the moment.

I've always found 'Hold Me' very touching.

Also:

'Gotta Broken Heart Again'

'Poor Little Bastard'

'Open Book'

'Do yourself a favour'
