The Definitive History of Rock N' Roll Beefs

Yo Win: come see me son. Leave the hurdy gurdy at home.

Proving that rappers aren't the only musicians with thin skin and too much time on their hands, indie rockers Wayne Coyne of the Flaming Lips (above, left) and Win Butler of the Arcade Fire(above, right) have apparently ignited a much-dreaded hipster beef this week. First Coyne went in on Butler and his group, saying that AF "really treat people like shit" and calling them "pricks." Butler then fired back, questioning whether Coyne is the "best judge if we are righteous, kind and goodhearted people." (Ho snap! That's cold.) Last we heard, Coyne was planning a series of Worldstar diss videos featuring his alter ego Slouchin' Spencer and had unearthed photos of Butler littering. Slow down, people! Increase the peace before somebody's ironic t-shirt gets ripped!

Sadly, this isn't the first case of rock n' rollers squabbling (just the most pathetic), and we've compiled an exhaustive list of six-string mudslinging, complete with their rap beef equivalents, in case you need some translation. Enjoy'just don't step on our blue suede shoes (bitch)...
