Just a few off the top of my head......
Dylan on Blind Willie McTell...
Cheap Trick on Surrender mentions Kiss...
Bowie's All The Young Dudes mentions T-Rex so does Better You Bet by The Who.....
Springsteen on Thunder Road.."Roy Orbison's singing for the lonely"
Paul Simon on The Late Great Johnny Ace...mentions John Lennon and Johnny Ace...on the same album(Hearts and Bones) he mentions a selection..of doo wop groups on Rene And Georgette Magritte With Their Dog After The War..
Dexy's Midnight Runners mentions poor old Johnny Ray on Come On Eileen..
Ian Dury- Sweet Gene Vincent
I'm sure there's a pile of others Van Morrison has a habit of doing it usually old Blues artists and I'm sure there's a lot of Punk stuff that mentions other bands-especially jokey stuff like Half Man Half Biscuit.....oh just remembered a terrible one by UK pop band ABC-When Smokey Sings-a crap tribute to Smokey Robinson--from the same era Life In A Nothertn Town by Dream Academy mentions The Beatles and Pray Like Aretha Franklin by Scritti Politti and of course Song For Bob Dylan by Bowie....there's thousands of them probably........... oh and the famous put-down of Springsteen by Paddy MacAloon on Prefab Sprouts Cars And Girls...
