Worst Band Feuds:

No. 20





Lynyrd Skynyrd vs. Neil Young

Fightin' Words: "Well I hope Neil Young will remember/ A southern man don't need him around anyhow" ('Sweet Home Alabama,' Lynyrd Skynyrd)

Neil Young's 'Southern Man,' his biting rant about Confederate racism, was what drew the ire of proud rednecks Lynyrd Skynyrd and prompted their musical response.

Judges' Decision: Draw, as Skynyrd remained huge Neil Young fans.



No. 19




Mariah Carey vs. Jennifer Lopez

Fightin' Words: "I don't know her." (Mariah Carey)

These divas first clashed over a sample that Jennifer Lopez rushed to use before Mariah could release it. Told that J-Lo got eight hours of sleep a night, Mariah replied, "If I had the luxury of not actually having to sing my songs, I'd do that too." Recently asked what she thought of Beyonce, Mariah was effusive in her praise. But when asked about J-Lo, she claimed ignorance.

Judges' Decision: Mariah -- but don't call it a comeback



No. 18



Marilyn Manson vs. My Chemical Romance

Fightin' Words: "Rebels without applause/ I sell my shadow to those who are standing in it" ('Mutilation Is the Most Sincere Form of Flattery,' Manson)

The aging shock rocker took shots at a younger generation, claiming that MCR owes him an unacknowledged debt. MCR frontman Gerard Way, astutely noting that many feuds occur when one of the offending parties has a new record to promote, dismissed Manson: "If Elvis Costello said we sucked we would think about it a bit ... We still haven't found someone that has knocked us down that we need to take seriously."

Judges' Decision: My Chemical Romance gets the last laugh

For the record (and you would probably know better than I, Craig), After hearing the news of Skynyrd's plane crash, Neil Young played "Sweet Home Alabama" at his show (in tribute)....right?

If true, at least ther was some class involved in that feud.

The worst band feud is the one that breaks up YOUR band.

I heard the same thing, but don't know if it's true. I know that both sides were fans of one another's music. Ronnie liked Neil Young and Neil Young liked Ronnie. Ronnie used to wear a Neil Young T-Shirt in his Skynyrd concerts. You can see video of him wearing it. Ronnie loved a good joke.

being from Canada,,,Neil Young. I read somewhere he meant the whole USA. Just not the southern states.

oh yeah ,,What about Lennon and Mccartney?

Good one. They had feuds.

Yeah, but Paul got the last word on that one.

Dammit...

Skynard seems to have had a bad attitude towards a lot of musicians. They wanted to beat up Robert plant because he didn't seem macho enough. And if I remember correctly, they didn't even play the show with Zeppelin, they just up and left.
