i say:
Peter hammill - Over
Naming the person you broke up with by name and accussing her of every nasty thing ever is pretty bad form.
Marvin Gaye - Here, My Dear
After his divorce, Marvin made a settlement where he had to give half of the royalties from his new project to his ex-wife. So he made that project a double album about their divorce and how much of a bitch she was. Classic.
blood on the tracks
springs immediately to mind
Beck- Sea Change
Of Montreal
Hissing Fauna, Are You The Destroyer?
Fleetwood Mac - Rumours
^Defo
this
Beck,
that is!
Boatman's Call is the obvious one
Also I read on Teletext that Thom Yorke's wife hasn't heard In Rainbows yet because of how stressful it was to make. Not sure if she's going to be all that happy with it. "I only stick with you because there are no others.."?etc
cursive's domestica
is ace.
And The Good Life's Lovers Need Lawyers
Poor old Tim Kasher.
on The Good Life
can put Album Of The Year in there to... genius album.
you could pretty much add any album
tim kasher has ever written, when he starts seeing a girl, they must check out his backcatalogue and think *yikes* this isnt gonna end well
the mountain goats- get lonely
pretty much.
'take your carriage clock...
and shove it' by belle & sebastian is a great beak-up song. not an album, but still.
'13'
blur
Our Earthly Pleasures
by Maximo Park
get lonely
is such an amazing take on the whole idea of a break up album. it's so nonchelont and whistful, almost as if the whole thing was an inevitability from the getgo (not surprising considering his other work).
take fountain
by The Wedding Present. Particularly the song Ringway to Seatac.
Oh and Whatever And Ever Amen by Ben Folds Five.
Obviously.
loveisell
i'd say News And Trobutes
by them futureheads. but that might just be because i got it as i was being dumped
shellac - 10,000 hurts
oooh, he is pissed.
13 - Blur
No more Justine...Albarn broods
Glassjaw - eyewtkas
Pure rage throughout!
Ryan Adams
Heartbreaker
Red House Painters

Blood on the Tracks
of course.
One of the best albums ever as well.
