Kanye West is back on Instagram. This is great news because Kanye is normally terrific on social media, and hopefully this also means new music is coming soon. However, Kanye's return violated some unwritten IG rules and showed that he's a little behind the times.

We don't post 55 times in one day, Kanye. Now don't get me wrong, I love posts. Posting is badass. But you're supposed to post maybe once a week, and it's only supposed to be an image of you doing something extremely baller, vacationing in a cool location, preparing to eat some expensive food, or anything involving an animal. The point of a post is to make yourself look like you are living the ultimate life, and everyone else online needs to see it and validate you with likes. Those sweet, delicious likes, and maybe some comments if the post is that hot. 

But dozens of classic celeb couples that have a certain vintage aesthetic? No. This isn't Tumblr, 'Ye, save that for your Story. Now thanks to Instagram's new algorithm I'm going to keep seeing these god damn pictures in my feed for the next two weeks.

Anyways, the majority of the pics Kanye posted are celebrity couples that are no longer together for a variety of reasons. Either they broke up, someone died, or are straight up fictional. All the pictures also seem to be over 10 years old. So, going off of those parameters, here are 10 iconic couples that Kanye missed.  

NOTE: Pigeons & Planes is still an extremely reputable music website, so all of the following couples involve at least one musician. We haven't stooped to the point of being a gossip site... yet.

Adam Duritz and Jennifer Aniston

That's right. Counting Crows frontman Adam Duritz used to date Jennifer Aniston. He also had a fling with Courtney Cox, meaning he's a Lisa Kudrow date away from pulling off the FRIENDS trifecta.

Moby and Natalie Portman

Moby and Natalie Portman apparently had a thing and here they are with The Roots.

Sheryl Crow and Owen Wilson

Wow. Look at that. Sheryl and Owen hitting the Shanghai Noon premiere looking like some snacks. Very cool.

Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake

Very surprised denim BS and JT missed the cut. It's almost like Kanye wasn't even trying.

Alanis Morissette and Dave Coulier

Dave Coulier left a mess. We know this because him and Alanis dated and then she wrote "You Oughta Know" about him. "You Oughta Know" appears on Jagged Little Pill. Jagged Little Pill sold over 33 million copies worldwide, so literally everyone in the world knows about Dave's mess. 

Kid Rock and Paris Hilton

At this point I'm just looking up any weird celebrity couple lists I can find online. Then I'm making sure Kanye didn't post them, that at least one is a musician, and that there is photographic evidence on Getty. This process is severely limiting the possible couples for this list, but just when I think I've hit a wall I read that Kid Rock and Paris Hilton had a thing. I mean just look at the way she's looking at him. But a romance that bright had to burn out eventually, folks. 

Jay Z and Beyoncé

The glaring omission from Kanye's spree was Jay Z and Beyoncé. Was it petty reasons? Kim influence? Or did it not fit his criteria? Who knows. But Kanye included a pic of Pamela Anderson and Tommy Lee that looks like it was shot on a Gameboy Camera and excluded Jay and Bey which is insulting even to me. Get a Getty account, 'Ye. I'm sure you can afford it.

Jessica Simpson and Nick Lachey

Three seasons of a below average reality show isn't enough to get a Kanye IG? Sad!

Lenny Kravitz and Nicole Kidman

Lenny and Nicole were engaged back in the day. Now here she is with her new husband Keith Urban and Lenny at the CMT Music Awards in 2013. I'm betting Keith came to the event buttoned up but once he saw how deep Lenny's V-neck was, the battle was on. Rumor has it Keith left naked that night with nothing but a rug draped on his shoulders. 

Chad Kroeger and Avril Lavigne

Last but not least, we have the most powerful music couple in history: Nickleback's Chad Kroeger and punk-pop princess Avril Lavigne. Even though these Canadian rockers literally rocked too hard and their marriage only lasted two years, their legacy will live on forever in the combined 90 million albums the two have sold. Seriously. 90 million albums. Can't make this stuff up.
