This piece from American Songwriter picks out three classic rock tracks that tackle the theme of home while, in the writer's view, avoiding sentimentality or cliché. The selection spans different eras and styles of rock, from arena anthems to soft folk-rock, showing how the subject of home has been treated with nuance across the genre.

The three songs highlighted are Mötley Crüe's "Home Sweet Home," about the band longing to return home after gruelling stretches on tour; Lynyrd Skynyrd's "Sweet Home Alabama," celebrating the band's Muscle Shoals roots without descending into corniness; and Crosby, Stills & Nash's "Our House," Graham Nash's tender tribute to domestic life with Joni Mitchell.
