How about Creek Alley by the Mamas and the Papas, going way back for you 60's rockers, with references to the Byrds ( Jim-now Roger-McGuinn), Barry Maguire, the Lovin' Spoonful (John Sebastian), the Beach Boys (Good Vibrations) and I'm sure others I've forgotten?
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":
and Tears For Fears on "Seeds Of Love":
Anybody got any others?
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?
