The Beach Boys, “I’m Bugged at My Old Man.”
Liam Gallagher
Siege,
Since all of Meatloaf’s music was written by Jim Steinman, you’d have to say that it was Jim who was mad at his dad, not the Loaf.
And, I doubt that Jim Steinman was writing Objects in the Rearview Mirror from his heart. He’s very much a gimick writer.
Robbie Williams, from the bit that he did in My Culture(I think) on the One Giant Leap project.

Awesome. 
Whitney Houston was mad at her dad and ex manager before he passed.
Tori Amos’ dad MIGTH be mad at HER.
he is a minister and she is known for speaking out about religious dogmas.
Pink has a song about her childhood family probs in an abusive household.
Madonna’s, Poppa don’t preach!
all those pussy nu metal singers that pretend to be, when they were brought up in cosy suburban white bread middle class families.
and dad paid for the equipment
Never mind Madonna’s “Papa Don’t Preach” – what about “Oh, Father”?
You can’t hurt me now
I got away from you, I never thought I would
You can’t make me cry, you once had the power
I never felt so good about myself etc. etc. etc.
Don’t forget that a lot of singers sing as characters, not always as themselves. Their lyrics may have no connection to their own actual lives.
Um…Michael Jackson?
thank you rmbnxs. I was reading through, and like you all forgot Wacko Jacko. And no, Madonna’s not really mad at her dad.
If you watch the Like a Virgin concert tour on tv as often as I have she’s always on the phone with him and bringing him backstage to hang out with Warren Beaty.
And yes Eminem is mad at dahis d… I think on the same album as “Cleanin out my Closet” he calls his dad derrogatory homosexual names. Yeah he’s a little pissed at everything.
I wonder if Jakob Dylan ever gets mad at his dad.
Christina Aguilera - She refuses to even acknowledge her bio dad, Jim, as her actual father. There’s a song about him on her current album.
Doubt it. Tori is very close with her father. He supports his daughter very much.
The lead singer from Nickelback has some SERIOUS daddy issues. He’s always talked about being raised by a single mom- dunno if dad was ever involved or not.
On a related note, I’ve often thought that Joss Whedon has some significant male-role-model problems.
Several years back, I remember hearing a song that was about the singer’s father raping him when he was a child. I was horrified and have since forgotten the artist’s name. Don’t suppose anyone would remember the name of this singer, who undoubtly has good reason to despise his father?
.:Nichol:.
John Lennon was mad at his dad. Of course, his dad abandoned him when he was little, then magically reappeared once he became the famous Beatle, so it isn’t as though he had no reason.
That would be Jonathan Davis of Korn and the song in question is called “Daddy.” Someone has already posted the link to the lyrics in question.
