Hate parade

This week's theme is hatchet jobs. I want songs that bubble with bile, whether the target is an ex-lover, former bandmate, bitter rival, public figure or unnamed foe.
  
  



Who's your favourite axe player?

Another great barrage of recommendations last week, so thanks for that. And to everyone who pointed out that the Pixies named Allison after jazz musician Mose Allison rather than a woman, er, sorry. Mea culpa.

This week's theme is hatchet jobs. I want songs that bubble with bile, whether the target is an ex-lover, former bandmate, bitter rival, public figure or unnamed foe. They can be specific character assassinations like Ether, Nas's vicious takedown of Jay-Z, or broadsides against a whole range of targets, such as L7's Shitlist.

Musicians can be a bitter, grudge-harbouring lot so you shouldn't be stuck for options. The nastier and wittier the better.
