You're So Vain: Rock Diss Songs

You're So Vain: Rock Diss Songs

Rock ‘n' roll rivalries have traditionally played out in the music press, but, occasionally, the acrimony spills over onto the lyric sheet. Lynyrd Skynyrd's prideful “Sweet Home Alabama” doubled as a critique of Neil Young's scathing “Southern Man”; the Foo Fighters' first-album salvo “I'll Stick Around” (with its chorus of “I don't owe you anything!”) was widely assumed to be about Courtney Love. Warning: some scenes may contain bruised egos.
