Everyone is quite familiar with the song Sweet Home Alabama and its being critical (to say the least) of Neil Young's Southernman. We all know quite well about the controversial line " I heard Mr. Young sing about her, I heard ole Neal put her down, I hope Neil Young will remember that Southernman does not need him around anymore!" With someone else starting another thread about same songs and song titles with the artist name as a title as well, I thought I would find songs that attack other musicians or have a blunt remark about them.
Songs that praise them such as Don McLean's American Pie do not count as those are tribute songs. It does not have to be controversial just like Skynyrd's song either just anything other than tribute and have to be about a specific person in music other than non music people or even political people directly. Most of all the specific name must be mentioned! Also if one knows a song that attacks an American President or anyone in office for something please do not post, as we do not need a flame war that we all love to get into here please.
"Roll Over Beethoven" (recorded by several different groups).
A whole lot of rap songs.
First of all, Lynyrd Skynyrd had great respect for Neil Young. The lyric was not intended to be taken literally, and any misunderstanding was patched over within months.
There's one song several of us here are very familiar with that calls out another artist: "Ho" by "Ludacris." I'll add "Two Steps Back" from Saliva, calling out the Dixie Chicks.

There have been endless jilted lover songs; Taylor Swift's just happen to all involve famous singers or actors.
See also Ed Sheeran's "Don't".
"All the Young Dudes" (written by David Bowie, but the best-known performance is by Mott the Hoople) references the Beatles and the Rolling Stones: "And my brother's back at home with his Beatles and his Stones/We never got it off on that revolution stuff." The song also mentions T. Rex, though it's less of a swipe ("Television man is crazy saying we're juvenile delinquent wrecks./Oh man, I need TV, when I got T. Rex.").
'Don't Call Us, We'll Call You" by Sugarloaf mentions John (Lennon), Paul (McCartney), and George (Harrison) with the lyric, "it sounds like John, Paul, and George."

"Slow Turning" by John Hiatt references Stones drummer Charlie Watts:

Quote'Cause I'm at the end of my wits with half this shit that gets in.
I got a list here's the order of my list that it's in.
It goes Reggie, Jay-Z, Tupac and Biggie, Andre from OutKast, Jada, Kurupt, Nas and then me.
But in this industry I'm the cause of a lot of envy, so when I’m not put on this list the shit does not offend me.
That's why you see me walk around like nothing's bothering me.
Even though half you people got a fucking problem with me.
You hate it but you know respect you’ve got to give me
The press's wet dream like Bobby and Whitney. Nate hit me.

This is a close call as to whether it's a "tribute", but Barenaked Ladies' "Brian Wilson" references Beach Boy Wilson's battle with depression, the Beach Boys album "Smiley Smile", and the Beach Boys song "Fun, Fun, Fun":
Quote
So I'm lying here, just staring at the ceiling tiles.
and I'm thinking about what to think about.
Just listening and relistening to Smiley Smile,
and I'm wondering if this is some kind of creative drought
because I am
Lying in bed just like Brian Wilson did
Well I'm lying in bed just like Brian Wilson did.
And if you want to find me I'll be out in the sandbox,
wondering where the hell all the love has gone.
Playing my guitar and building castles in the sun,
and singing "Fun, Fun, Fun."

Yes the Skynyrd Live album did clarify that as Ronnie Van Zandt did make a statement in the live version " There's good people in Alabama, and Mr. Young knows that."
I guess the words single out was a bit harsh to describe my meaning of songs that mention other artists other than tributes.
How about the Timex Social Club hit "Rumors"?
Hear the one about Tina, some say she's much too loose
That came straight from a guy who claims he's tastin' her juice
Hear the one about Michael, some say he must be gay
I try to argue, but they said if he was straight he wouldn't move that way
And there's "Roxanne's Revenge," the answer song to "Roxanne Roxanne":
So, then, after that came the Educated Rapper
His fingers started snappin', and my hands start to clappin'
Every time-a that I see him, everything he say
A-every time he says, he says it dumber this way:
He said-a, "Yeah, you know your mother's name is Mary,"
But all he want to do is just-a bust a cherry
The Educated Rapper was in UTFO, the group that put out "Roxanne Roxanne."
And finally (for now), there's Roger Waters's um, jab at Andrew Lloyd Weber, who he believed stole some material from Pink Floyd, in "It's a Miracle":
We cower in our shelters
With our hands over our ears
Lloyd-Webber's awful stuff runs for years
And years and years and years and years
An earthquake hits the theater
But the operetta lingers
Then the piano lid comes down
Breaks his fucking fingers
It's a miracle

"Forgot About Dre" was pretty much calling out the whole rap industry collectively, so while it wasn't specific, it kind of fits.
A reference to Frank Zappa is made early on in Deep Purple's Smoke On the Water.
Chicago's "Scrapbook" on the Chicago X album, which is a short autobiographical tune about the band, references Jimi Hendrix, Frank Zappa & the Mothers of Invention, and the Beach Boys.
Cheap Trick's "Surrender" mentions Kiss.
And then there's this:
Does it have to specifically mention the name? John Lennon's "How Do You Sleep?" is a very obvious attack on McCartney, but never mentions Paul by name.

Eminem has called out a number of artists. He called out Christina Aguilera in "The Real Slim Shady", along with Chris Kirkpatrick of *NSYNC and Moby on "Without Me". Eminem also collaborated with 50 Cent and Busta Rhymes on "Hail Mary" in 2001. This was in response to Ja Rule using much of 2Pac's "Hail Mary" in his song "So Much Pain". Em, 50 and Busta didn't like it, so that's why they did their version.
IIRC, Jody Watley's "Friends" was in response to Stephanie Mills stealing away a man Jody was dating. I believe it was Andre Cymone.
Speaking of Weird Al, many misconceptions about his parodies on Michael Jackson's Beat it. Many who loved the song Eat It seemed to be those who thought Michael Jackson was a weirdo or did not get into the type of genre he had so they thought it was funny and that Weird Al was poking fun at the pedophile. However, Weird Al actually loved Jackson's music and did his song because he liked him and his work.
The same with I Lost On Jeopardy, which was Al's parody on Greg Kihn's song Our Love's In Jeopardy as Kihn himself made a cameo in the video of the song.
Metallica's "King Nothing" is about the fall of Axl Rose.
Although musical artists are not the target (it's those creative types who make commercials), Neil Young took a real swing at the fences with "This Note's For You".
Alice Cooper sang "I Love The Dead" but he was not referring to the Grateful Dead...LOL!
Rick
John Lennon, in "God": "I don't believe in Beatles, I just believe in me."

I thought I would find songs that attack other musicians or have a blunt remark about them.
A classic blunt remark is the following from Carly Simon's "You're So Vain":
Quote
And all the girls dreamed that they'd be your partner
They'd be your partner, and...
You're so vain, you probably think this song is about you
You're so vain, I'll bet you think this song is about you
Don't you? don't you?
For years, Simon would not reveal who was the subject of the song and candidates included James Taylor, Mick Jagger, Kris Kristofferson, and Warren Beatty.
Interestingly, she finally revealed the subject of the song to be producer David Geffen (I know, I know ...... he is not an "artist" or "musician", but I thought the preceding speculation made the song a fit with this thread).

Mike Watt's "Drove Up From Pedro" states:

But we get no explanation of what The Germs did. It led the Pedro (San Pedro, Cal.) dude in the song to "fit the thunderbroom to the thundertune" and "[stuff] the thing in the hole," so draw your own conclusions.
Shine on You Crazy Diamond is a song about former Pink Floyd member Syd Barrett.
New Radicals' "You Get What You Give" where near the end of the song the singer, Gregg Alexander, calls out Beck, Hanson, Marilyn Manson, and Courtney Love.

There's a song called "Paul Stanley" that sounds very much like it could be one of his Kiss tunes, or something off his 1978 solo album. I can't recall for sure the band who did it, but I think it might be The Hellacopters.
Carrie Underwood's "Before He Cheats" has the following line:
"Right now, she's probably up singing some

Chris's force like you pissed him off"
The Game - Where I'm From

"I'mma B-L-double-O-D
Been on songs with S-N-double-O-P
Inside a Ferrari with the D-R-E
Run up I let it sing like Nate D-O-double-G"
Eminem - Las Vegas

"When Smokey Sings," by ABC.
"Glass Onion" by the Beatles is, of course, self-referential: "I told you 'bout Strawberry Fields, you know the place where nothing is real...And here's another clue for you all: The walrus was Paul."
The Motown Song by Rod Stewart, with The Temptations
"Bring over some of your old Motown records
We'll put the speakers in the window and we'll go
On the roof and listen to the Miracles
Echo to the alley down below"
Rock and Roll Heaven by The Righteous Brothers lists several, albeit by first name only, including Otis Redding, Bobby Darin, and Jim Croce. This one also belongs in the thread about songs mentioning other songs.
Jimmy Buffett's Life is Just A Tire Swing:
And Elvis would sing

"Bruce" by Rick Springfield

Weird Al Yankovic did Tacky. That song singled out Miley Cyrus and Kanye West in the Lyrics. Oddly enough Weird Al mentioned Yolo license plate in the song. I went what how did a county next door to Sacramento county get national attention? Then I found out Yolo has a different meaning "You Only Live Once"' outside of Sacramento and Solano counties.
Tacky was based on Pharell Williams "Happy"
Also Bruno Mars did "Locked Out of Paradise" the tone seemed to follow The Police two hits "Roxanne" and "Message in a Bottle" the early hits of the Police.
