Songs that mention other singers or bands, literally or not

When Q-Tip paired up with the talented bloody Norah Jones to do the song 'Life Is Better', he ends up name dropping a total of 49 other artist or groups.


And it is for that matter alone that thread should be closed !!!


...Maintainin proceeds to thus drop the mic​

Generation x - King Rocker
Mentions the "Quarry St kids in leather take Hamburg" referring to the Beatles and their formative years as the Quarrymen.

The song then goes on to namecheck Elvis and John (Lennon) having an imaginary boxing fight fight

'And I'm sick of your tattoos
and the way you always criticize the Smiths. And Morrissey.'

 
The Clash - (White Man) in Hammersmith Palais - name checks Dillinger, Leroy Smart and Delroy Wilson.
Also pays reference to The Jam (apparently) with the line "the new groups, are not concerned, with what there is to be learnt. They've got Burton Suits, ha you think it's funny? Turning rebellion into money.
