Guns n Roses - Get in the Ring

Stone Temple Pilots - Adhesive

Gillian Welsh - Everything is Free.

Great song about the difficulties of making a living off music now that everything is available for nothing. Father John Misty recorded a version when he was invited to the Spotify Sessions, which was a nice little fuck you to the people inviting him.

Killpop by Slipknot, that song is amazing. It's very indirect, though, if I didn't read an interview that it's about the music industry, I wouldn't have guessed it.

I can't seem to figure out how to edit my comment on kbin. I thought of one newer than Rush fom a band I've come to enjoy highly and hasn't been posted yet:

LCD Soundsystem - You Wanted A Hit

[–] PoopSpiderman@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

Disorder and Disarray by Rancid. There are lots of great examples here, and I think this one fits.

Hiroshima by Ben Folds

Teya & Salena represented Austria in Eurovision last year with "Who the Hell is Edgar?", it was written from the perspective of wanting to be taken seriously in the industry, veiled through a fun song about being possessed by the ghost of Edgar Allan Poe, though the bridge gets quite blatant and singles out Spotify for not paying its artists properly. It was one of the favourites in the Eurovision community last year and I think it would've done better had the Finland vs. Sweden rivalry not happened.

Jamey Johnson - Between Jennings and Jones

Well, some record executives found me one night I was singin' half-lit, they said it sounded just right (right) Put my name on an album but they shelved all my songs

"Bury me in analog" by Mischief Brew, even though it now feels slightly darker after Erik Petersen's death.

"Please play this song on the radio" by NOFX

"Sell out" by Reel Big Fish
