I don’t listen to Eminem, but didn’t he write about a zillion songs about his ex wife, naming her specifically in them and how he wishes she was dead? I’d think they need a honorable mention.

(I’m once again procrastinating…so found some angry lyrics in the meantime…)
Eminem’s Puke…
(Chorus)
You don’t know how sick you make me
You make me #&@$% sick to my stomache
Everytime I think of you I puke
You must just not not knoooooowww
You may not think you do
But you do everytime I think of you I puke
more excerpts:
I hope you get to hell and Satan sticks a needle in your eye
I hate your #&@$% guts you #&@$% slut I hope you die (diiiiiie)
But please don’t get me wrong I’m not bitter I’m mad
It’s not that I still love you its not that I want you back
It’s just that when I think of you it makes me wanna gag
But what else can I do I havent gotta clue
Now I guess I just move on I got no choice but to
But everytime I think of you now all I want to do is puuuuuke
[Outro]
[Eminem puking]
#&@$% bitch

Great picks, but you totally missed “No Children” by the Mountain Goats:
“I hope that our few remaining friends
give up on trying to save us
I hope we come up with a failsafe plot
to piss off the dumb few that forgave us.
I hope the fences we mended, fall down beneath their own weight
and I hope that I hang on past the last exit;
I hope it’s all ready too late.
And I hope the junk yard a few blocks from here
Someday burns down
and I hope the rising black smoke carries me far away,
and I never come back to this town again.
In my life
I hope I lie,
and tell everyone you were a good wife,
and I hope you die,
I hope we both die.”

I always thought of Untouchable Face as unrequited love, someone she couldn’t have, not a past lover.

Lucinda Williams has an awesome breakup song. She said it was inspired by male rock anthems about women. On her latest CD, “West”
Dude I’m so over you
You don’t even have a clue
All you did was make me blue
You didn’t even make me, come on!
You’re so self-involved
You’re in some kind of fog
You’re hung up on your hog
You didn’t even make me, come on!
You think you’re in hot demand
But you don’t know where to put your hand
Let me tell you where you stand
You didn’t even make me, come on!
Dude you’re so fired
Shut up, I’m not inspired
All I’m feeling now is tired
You didn’t even make me, come on!
You weren’t even worth it
I’m sorry I ever flirted
The effort wasn’t even concerted
You didn’t even make me, come on!
All you do is talk the talk
You can’t back it up with your walk
You can’t light my fire, so f**k off
You didn’t even make me, come on!
