Just now seeing this slideshow, so I doubt anyone will see my comment, but how could they omit John Fogerty’s “Zanz Kant Danz” (which had to be renamed “Vanz Kant Danz” after Fogerty’s former record executive Saul Zaentz filed suit)?

I can't help thinking of Brand New's "Seventy Times 7" written about the guitarist and childhood friend from Taking Back Sunday.

The original title of Faith No More's Midlife Crisis (and the name they still use on setlists) was "Madonna". Pretty harsh, considering the song is from 1992.

Neil's response to SHA was classic: "The first time I heard it, I liked how they played their guitars. Then I heard my name, and I thought, Now THIS is pretty great."

please please please, someone turn up a video of Mojo Nixon singing that song with Don Henley. somebody must've had a camera at that show.

I would submit "Year of the Parrot" from Primus for consideration, with jabs at Tori Amos and Counting Crows ("I've seen the likes of Kate Bush / And Van Morrison / Teach a parrot to sing.").

Ole man Neil can get pretty specific and make entire diss ALBUMS. He dissed Monsanto just for creating some seeds and fertilizers. And he dissed Bush only for creating a pointless war…

I've always heard that Richard Thompson's "Put It There Pal" is a burn on Mark Knopfler.

War on Drugs* can suck my cock!

Sweet Home Alabama. Not written with racist intent, but beloved by racists.

Eazy-E's "Real Muthaphukkin G's" vs. "Dre Day." Wherein we learn Eazy received royalty's from Dre's diss track, which might be the ultimate comeuppance. 'Dre Day/Only meant Eazy's payday" …they're both in the R n' R Hall of Fame and both tracks rock hard

To stick with the theme this week of overlooking Mudhoney, how about "Overblown"? The whole Seattle scene it seemed got to record a song for the Singles soundtrack, and they pen a song talking about how overrated they all are. They gave you your very own spotlight just like some real rockstar…

Spoon's Small Stakes always comes to mind with this topic. Not very epic in its dismissal of The White Stripes, but it's there.

Dead Kennedys - Chickenshit Conformist

I never knew what "Teenage Wildlife" or "Deceptacon" were about until now. Thank you this had been enlightening.

I was living three blocks away from the Hole In The Wall the night Henley jumped up on stage with Mojo. Blew off going to the show that night because of some stupid, lazy reason. Still pisses me off.

Don't try to tell me that you're an intellectual
Beause you're just another boring bisexual

No mention of Keith Richards slagging off Mick Jagger with "You Don't Move Me"?

"After WOD heard Kozelek had told them to “suck my fucking dick” from the stage, the back-and-forth escalated in the press until Kozelek decided to memorialize it in song."

Oh, and I guess I should represent Trotsky Icepick, given my avatar. In addition to "Bury Manilow", which arguably doesn't count because Barry Manilow isn't rock and roll, there was "Long Gray Baggy Soul", their catchy diss of Elton John, and "Father Murry's Glass Eye", which wasn't so much a smackdown as a…
