Rock Lyrics - Best Reference to Other Rock Group


References to other artists and songs are everywhere, but my two favorites are Steely Dan from "Everything You Did":
Turn up the Eagles the neighbors are listening

and Tears For Fears on "Seeds Of Love":
Kick out the Style bring back the Jam

Anybody got any others?
128x128onhwy61
And then of course, the completely re-ferential (is that a word?)
"American Pie" Don McLean
"Garden Party" Rick Nelson
Tonio K - "I wish I could be mellow, like for instance Jackson Browne, but Fountain of Sorrows my ***, ****** ******, I hope you wind up in the ground" in "H-A-T-R-E-D"

Steely Dan reference to Aretha Franklin in "Hey Nineteen"

Peter, Paul & Mary - Mamas & Papas, Donovan, Beatles, in "I dig Rock and Roll Music"
Another Bob Dylan tune ... "You Aint Goin' Nowhere" complete with a playful tap at Roger (Jim) McGuinn

Bob sang it as ...

Pick up your money
And pack up your tent McGuinn
You Ain't Goin' Nowhere

When the Byrds originally released the song, McGuinn reversed the order of pick & pack and sang ...

Pack up your money
And pick up your tent
You Ain't Goin' Nowhere
Wstritt, that Tonio K cut comes off of what i think is a truly GREAT and very overlooked album. Glad someone else recognizes that : ) Sean

Sean - Life in the Foodchain is indeed a great album. Picked it up when it first came out around 1978 (I went and checked the album cover to confirm the date). Finally found a CD version of it about 3 or 4 years ago. Still enjoy listening to it from time to time though usually in the car as my wife doesn't appreciate it as much as I do. Timeless :)
