Mt. Rushmore of Musicians Singing About Other Musicians

Musicians have been making songs about other musicians since the days when Amadeus released his hit single "Suck It Salieri" (also known as the first diss track). But not all songs are about putting down a rival. Just as many have been made as tribute to an act that an artist admires (or at least wants to get cool points for by referencing.) This week we're looking at some of the best songs that musicians have written about other musicians. Everything from shameless grabs for cash to angry putdowns are included, along with some possibly psychotic ramblings about Elvis.
