Sorry Kras, fourm won't let me give you well deserved rep.

Really the Misfits Box Set works wonders for just about any situation imaginable.

Bollocks_to_Pop · 05.10.2007, 01:10 AM

Beck- Sea Change
Lou Reed- Berlin

Both of these are great albums to just contemplate, exorcise and forget.

SYRFox · 05.10.2007, 01:32 AM

Merzbow - Pulse Demon

It's gonna cheer you up you can't imagine how

eeewww...

thats' creepy.

Interesting question. Almost everyone I know would do the opposite and listen to albums they could identify with that do the opposite of cheering up. Maybe that helps in a catharsis sort of way. Maybe it just makes it worse.

I know when I went through a divorce, I was listening to Elliot Smith's first two albums and Pet Sounds years later as if attempting to drag out the misery forever and wallow in it. A couple things I remember actually helping were live shows. I went by myself and saw the Orb play on what would have been our wedding anniversary, and danced like a fool. I went and saw Painkiller play a couple months after that and they definitely earned their name from me. In all that pure volume it was easy to forget emotional ties.

So, I'm with the people who've already suggested noise and power. They're there for a reason. I bet Egg Nog by the Melvins could be very helpful.

!@#$%! · 05.10.2007, 02:21 AM

^^^ good points.

melt-banana then.

05.10.2007, 02:22 AM

Any songs written by Burt Bacharach.

I'm with you on this one. Bakesale is a top-notch record.

Last year when I broke up with my previous girlfriend, I was listening to Godspeed you black emperor a lot, especially their second album, "Lift yr. skinny fists like antennas to heaven". There's a great deal of hope in their music that helped me overcome the bitterness.

the ikara cult · 05.10.2007, 03:26 AM

If you ever find you have exhausted the possibilities with music, i reccomend going to see a good Naturalist play. Some cold hard Ibsen really does take you away.

jon boy · 05.10.2007, 03:31 AM

hhmm its a tough one. when i split up with someone i didnt really want to listen to any music or read, watch tv etc. it takes time but after a while things where easier to do. i reccomend some mf doom.

SpectralJulianIsNotDead · 05.10.2007, 04:01 AM

If you are depressed, happy music is just depressing. You have to make a slow transition.

Here. . . I'll make a tracklisting for you

TV on the Radio- I Was a Lover
John Cale- Amsterdam
Guided By Voices- Awful Bliss
Dinosaur Jr.- Severed Lips
Pavement- Grounded
Wipers- Mystery
Violent Femmes- Girl Trouble Up The Ass
Sonic Youth- Inhuman
Wire- I Should've Known Better
Bauhaus- Crowds
Donovan- Season of the Witch
Big Black- Bad Houses
Gang of Four- Anthrax
David Bowie- Breaking Glass
Shellac- Prayer To God
Atari Teenage Riot- Start the Riot
Devo- I Been Refused
Naked Raygun- I Lie
Fugazi- Last Chance For a Slow Dance
Violent Femmes- Breakin' Up
Mudhoney- You Got It (Keep It Outta My Face!)
JAMC- Never Understand
King Crimson- Epitaph
Mission of Burma- That's How I Escaped My Certain Fate
Velvet Underground- I'm Set Free
Joy Division- Disorder
Television- Venus
Iggy Pop- Lust For Life
Sonic Youth- Jams Run Free
Vapors- Turning Japanese
The Specials- Friday Night, Saturday Morning

Or just do what I did last time I had a break-up. Get really drunk and listen to David Bowie- Low. It is such a surreal sounding album, it is perfect for surreal events. When I am in the upset about girls mood, Low just really speaks to me. Especially Speed of Life.

fishmonkey · 05.10.2007, 04:01 AM

the downward spiral - NIN

atsonicpark · 05.10.2007, 06:03 AM

heh.. good choice with Shellac- Prayer To God

best breakup song ever!

Toilet & Bowels · 05.10.2007, 06:53 AM

i wouldn't listen to anything sad, i'm not one for wallowing in self-pity, i think self-pity is contemptable.

05.10.2007, 06:59 AM

Christian Marclay style? Excellent.

Everyneurotic · 05.10.2007, 10:39 AM

how about albums to break people's faces up.

i'm thinking napalm's scum, godflesh's streetcleaner and swans' filth.
