Rock Lyrics - Best Reference to Other Rock Group

From Lucinda Williams "Car Wheels on a Gravel Road"-- "Put on ZZ Top and turn it up real loud", and George Thorogood's reference on his "Anthology" to Chuck Berry's "Johnny B. Goode" as the "R&R National Anthem". Also, Cowboy Junkies "Townes is in the back room......" re: Townes Van Zandt. Good thread '61. Cheers. Craig

Eddie Money - Take Me Home Tonight
"Just like Ronnie (The Ronettes) said, Be My Little Baby."

The Beatles (Harrison I think) "Elmore James got nothin' on this babe."

Donald Fagen refers to Dave Brubeck in "New Frontier" on the Nightfly LP.

"Have you got a steady boyfriend
Cause honey I've been watching you
I hear you're mad about Brubeck
I like your eyes, I like him too
He's an artist, a pioneer
We've got to have some music on the new frontier"

Not exactly rock-exclusive, though! :-)

I love Randy Newman's little story of how "a young man named Bruce Springsteen" says to him, "Rand, I'm tired... how would you like to be the Boss for a while." Blow, Big Man, blow. (My Life Is Good, on Trouble In Paradise)
