Well, really anything by Patsy Cline will do, but "She's Got You" really rips your heart out.

In fact, pretty much any song by either of these two bands should do the trick.

I just discovered the lyrics to Guillemot's 'Who Left The Lights On, Baby', damn that's pretty evil.

Any Elliot Smith (especially 'Twilight').
Superchunk's, 'I Guess I Remembered It Wrong'
Sebadoh's 'Beautiful Friend'
Leona Naess', 'He's Gone' (it has the bonus of making you laugh at Ryan Adams), actually most of that album is a fuck you to Ryan Adams.

From past experience, though, you want music that a) allows you to wallow in depression while b) articulately and bitterly points out the logical flaws in your ex-partner's breakup rationales - thus c) motivating you to get on with your life. It's important that the song have some wit and self-control about it, not be too self-pitying and pathetic, which is one reason American Music Club doesn't really work after the first week or two.

So it's got to be Stephin Merritt. He alone has dozens of songs that fit that bill - "I Don't Want To Get Over You," yes, but also "I've Got New York," "I'm Lonely (And I Love It)," "Long Vermont Roads," "Dream Hat," "You Can't Break A Broken Heart," et al. His songs also have the benefit of mostly being gender-neutral (or at least ambiguous), meaning everyone can benefit equally.

But in the end, it's down to whatever works. I know someone in college who sought post-breakup solace in GG Allin & The Holy Men's You Give Love A Bad Name - which was way more than I needed to know about this friend, but it seemed to do the trick.

If it ever comes to that, though, "Woke Up New", by The Mountain Goats, will definitely be making an appearance.

Also, in the cheesier, less hip category:
"I Just Don't Think I'll EVer Get Over You", Colin Hay
"Lua", Bright Eyes
And some Brand New, just for that angry semi-misogyny that always tinges a break-up

Nice way to counter the drivel, team idolator. I hope someone is feeding this into their playlist and will be ready when the inevitable happens.

@Ted Striker: Exactly - for when you begin to move to the anger stage. I'll add: Sugar's "Explode and Make Up". And "He Cleaned Up" by Scrawl.

also, no children is okay but i hate whatsisface's voice so i'd nominate the kiki and herb version.
and, depending on the nature of the breakup, restraint by the frank and walters and goodbye goodguy by frente!. or maybe good woman by cat power.

It's still one of the bitterest songs ever.

There are too many breakup songs to count in their catalog, and "Band of Gold" is a great suggestion. A good number of songs from Gentlemen and Black Love would qualify as well.

My own pick would be "Broken Heart" by Spiritualized, though a number of Ladies and Gentlemen songs are worthy: "All of My Thoughts," "Stay with Me," "Cool Waves" and probably a couple others. The whole album has a sort of resigned, melancholy feel to it that's just perfect for breakups.
