11. Neil Young: 'Southern Man' – The lyrically vivid classic addresses the American South as he despatches a narrative about a man (an embodiment of the entire south) mistreating black his slaves - “I can hear screaming and cruel whips cracking”. Highly emotive, Young asks when will the south "pay them back" for the decades of abuse, torture and slavery. In response to the song, Lynyrd Skynyrd penned the upbeat 'Sweet Home Alabama', name-checking Neil Young – something he was pleased about "They play like they mean it," he said. "I'm proud to have my name in a song like theirs."
