Well, it wasn't until I went through a serious loss that I realized what a great songwriter McCartney was for breakups. Some of the songs that I heard differently for the first time after growing up with them were:
Yesterday
For No One
You Won't See Me
In terms of albums, I think Dylan has some great ones:
Blood On The Tracks
Time Out Of Mind
Also, Steve Earle has some good one's on:
El Corazón
Transcenental Blues
And then there is Wilco's Sky Blue Sky - wow that's a powerful one.
And another old song that was covered by Johnny Cash on his last album - If You Could Read My Mind - something about hearing Cash's voice sing those words knocked me out.
Haha, haven't read all the previous posts to know if anyone's said this. But movie wise, go watch High Fidelity. Great flick about music's role in relationships.
