Meanest Love Songs: No. 20

Sure, there are many silly love songs about infatuation and devotion, but there's an equal number of not-so-silly hate songs about bitterness and revenge directed at a former love object. The following artists, who expose the flip side of romance, would likely agree with fellow bitter scribe Joe Jackson's words: "Fools in love -- are there any creatures more pathetic?"

'Go Your Own Way'
--Fleetwood Mac (1977)

The Kiss-Off: "Packing up, shackin' up's all you want to do"

Stevie Nicks supposedly insisted that her then-boyfriend, bandmate Lindsey Buckingham, remove the line from this enthusiastic sayonara, which gave the Mac arguably their most enduring hit. Buckingham refused, and he had the added satisfaction of getting his soon-to-be-ex to sing backup on her own send-off. Download Fleetwood Mac on Napster

Lindsey got the last laugh on that one too. He is married to a Stevie look-a-like half his age and has three kids with her and Stevie is overweight and alone. Sad but true, but love Stevie nonetheless!

Fleetwood Mac is one of the greatest bands of all time..Nix's voice outshined everyone in the group!" The "is a way better song though, and sounds like it's a way harsher send off than "Go Your Own Way"

AND DYLAN'S "POSITIVELY 4TH STREET" KISS OFF TO JOAN BAEZ? THINK NICKS & BUCKINGHAM STILL GET IT ON AT TIMES....AT LEAST WHILE DOING "THE DANCE" DVD VS "LIVE IN BOSTON."

The actual meanest Fleetwood Mac love song? "Come".
"Think of me, sweet darling/Every time you don't come"
Plus, some wicked guitar from Lindsey!
