There's something particularly, viscerally satisfying about those acerbic, angry rock and roll songs in which the artist uses his or her platform to mock, slander, or just otherwise needle an opponent. Sometimes these songs rock the charts, but most often they lay buried deep in an album's track list, a discreet little "screw you" reserved only for the truest fans and, perhaps, the object of their condemnations.
Revenge songs often pull a special energy from their artists that is not drawn in quite the same way from songs about love, lost love, or any other topic. When the target of their acid arrows is obvious, the songs act as entryways into the running narrative of rock and roll history. When the target is kept secret, the songs sometimes become myths unto themselves, taking on the sort of gloaming aura that only true mystery can possess.
So it is, rock and roll doggies, that we present here a quiz of ten prominent, or just plain tasty, rock and roll revenge songs. Don't be afraid to share your results in the comments section below.
