Answer: Lynyrd Skynyrd
Even if you’re not a Lynyrd Skynyrd fan, you know the lyrics to “Sweet Home Alabama.” It’s become engrained in rock history to the point that we hear it in places like the gas station and our local diner. While most people today consider it a slightly cheesy, if kind of sanitized song, “Sweet Home Alabama” was actually a diss track. Yup, rock-n-roll has diss tracks, too. Lynyrd Skynyrd released their biggest hit in response to Neil Young’s “Southern Man,” which the band felt was disrespectful toward the South. Interestingly, none of the Lynyrd Skynyrd band members are originally from Alabama.
