Drive By Truckers - Gravity's Gone
Elton John someone saved my life tonight song
Gillian Welch - Everything is Free
Oh and somewhat tangential but Hayes Carll I Got a Gig song - "playing for my dinner six nights a week, hurricanes, Easter, and New Years Eve, I got a gig baby!"
Hiroshima by Ben Folds
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.
Disorder and Disarray by Rancid. There are lots of great examples here, and I think this one fits.
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:
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
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.
"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
