Jesusetc84 Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 By breakup/ divorce albums, I don't mean ones you listened too during a breakup...I'm more referring to ones written during breakups divorces in the artists lives. I'll start off with the ones I can think of off the top of my head: Van Morrison- Veedon FleeceBob Dylan- Blood on The Tracks & DesireDavid Bowie- Low (written during his divorce, among other things.)Fleetwood Mac- RumoursRichard & Linda Thompson- Shoot Out The LightsBeck- Sea Change Quote Link to post Share on other sites

FourStrongWinds Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 its got to be Joni's 'Blue' surely, 'A Case Of You', is about as sad as music gets in my opinion, also Graham Nash's Songs For Beginners for the other side of the same break-up Quote Link to post Share on other sites

kathyp Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 Richard and Linda Thompson - Shoot Out the Lights Edit - Didn't see it in the first post. Greatest break-up album ever. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jesusetc84 Posted December 31, 2007 Author Share Posted December 31, 2007 Really? I had no idea... LouieB Yeah the whole thing was about his divorce from Janet Planet. It's all very veiled and kind of esoteric...but supposedly the whole thing is about his divorce, and those dark divorce feelings. I love that record. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jesusetc84 Posted December 31, 2007 Author Share Posted December 31, 2007 Richard and Linda Thompson - Shoot Out the Lights Edit - Didn't see it in the first post. Greatest break-up album ever. I love that album...I think Linda wins the argument with "Did She Jump or Was She Pushed?" and "Walking on the Wire"...but I will always have a special place for "Man in Need" Quote Link to post Share on other sites
froggie Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 Yeah the whole thing was about his divorce from Janet Planet. she was hot back then Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PopTodd Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 Of course the previously mentioned Fleetwood Mac and Richard and Linda Thompson records, but also:Blur - 13 and every Daniel Johnston record ever. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
