OK...this isn't really prog as it is after they sold their souls to become pop, but Genesis' Mama does it for me.  Other great breakup songs are Fish's Shadowplay; Script; again not really prog but BOC's Shooting Shark; Black Sabbath's Sabbath Bloody Sabbath (oh wait, that's not a breakup song); oh and Marillion's Cinderella Search.
I can understand your anger at me, but what did the horse I rode in on ever do to you?

Damn ! I wish I'd thought of those ...

I would  also add from In Absentia Lips of Ashes ... Gravity Eyelids ... Trains ... Prodigal ... not specifically about break-ups but rather pleasantly melancholic

High 5, Richard, we obviously posted at the same time.

I noticed that too. I was reading the lyric booklet at the time i posted, and your post was there just before mine. Great minds think alike eh?

The number one album for this occasion is of course:

Peter Hammill - Over

The whole album deals with the topic of breaking up from various angles.

Burn Bitch Burn by Kiss

I jest, I'm a big girls blouse really. My top break up albums are..

  • Script for a Jesters Tear - Marillion
  • And then there were three - Genesis
  • The Days of Future Passed - The Moody Blues
Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy!

I think the real stand-out track there is Elaine...  I don't know if you've got Rainmaker, but almost everyone HATES that track...  but if you look at it from the viewpoint of it discussing an ex-girlfriend or something, it's suddenly got the single-most hilarious lyrics EVER.  

Here she comes again, smiling like a horse
God he was asleep on that day she was born
Riding her bike with the sun in her eyes
finding her way in a world that still smiles

Here she comes again, dancin like clown
God he went astray on the day she arrived
she's stumbling ashore, like a pig in a pond
Ready to fly, ready to die

The world is a cruel affair
if you don't dance to a common beat
People are cruel Elaine, if you don't fit the bill
The world is so cold out there
if you dance to a different beat
people are scared, believe me Elaine

Here she comes again, dressing like a clown
God she's different, puts a smile on your face

(chorus)

Here she comes again, smiling like a horse
God he was asleep on that day she was born
Riding her bike with the sun in her eyes
finding her way in a world that still smiles

The world is a cruel affair
if you don't dance to a common beat
People are cruel Elaine, if you don't fit the bill
The world is so cold out there
if you dance to a different beat
but, people are scared, believe me Elaine

They say it's the inside that matters
now that's a lie, what a lie

Fly by strange little bird fly by......................fly home
