Syd Barrett- Bob Dylan Blues

Jeffrey Lewis - New Williamsburg Will Oldham Horror - a fine song, references Dylan and Young, but is mainly about getting raped by a Will Oldham look-alike. Great stuff!

Built to Spill-Distopian Dream Girl. "My stepfather looks just like David Bowie, but he hates david bowie."

Outl4w : "sonic youth"

She wrote this because of his fondness for dressing up like a girl when he was a little boy.

But my favorite.

Juliana Hatfield - "My Sister"

Lyric: "It was the Violent Femmes, and the Del Fuegos..."

*sunn o))) - fwtbt (metallica)

xiu xiu also mentions the pogues, unless that's already been mentioned on this thread.

The Fall mentioned Captain Beefheart on a lot of songs, the most recent being on "reformation"... on the new album, on 50 year old man, he goes, "Don't forget you tried to ruin me, Steve Albini." or something along those lines.

Bad Religion mentions themselves in "21st Century Digital Boy" and "Walk Away" which may not be what you're looking for, but oh well. They kind of say it in a 3rd person way, instead of saying "Hey! We're bad religion!"

In reply to one of the above posts, I find it a little odd that Thee Headcoats would hate Rocket from the Crypt. If you're familiar at all with those two bands.. it just seems odd. Then again, the dude from Six Organs said he hates John Fahey's music so who knows....

oh Hayden already mentioned the pogues in hives hives.

hypocrite.

i'm losing a lot of respect for ben chasny, starting with that mediocre shelter from the ash album.

Yeah, I read some interview, some guy asked about Robbie Basho and Ben was like, "Yeah, he's okay." And the guy asked about Fahey and Ben was like, "No, I don't like his music at all. He's never been an influence. I like a lot of his writings though."

I mean, seriously, you're playing predominantly finger picked acoustic guitar stuff, how can you not like the GOD of that type of music?! That just makes no sense to me honestly. I mean, personal taste is personal taste so I try to give the benefit of the doubt that he may just not love Fahey's songs and that's understandable I GUESS...but Fahey's music is so pure and technical that I just can't see it not inspiring Ben at all. I also read another interview where he said he hates comparisons to Fahey, and he said people aren't even listening to his music, all they hear is an acoustic guitar and they automatically make the assumption that he's influenced by Fahey.

instant rep for anyone who knows what im talking about

blood sausage.... billy joel.

Can't believe this one hasn't been mentioned yet

Kraftwerk - Trans Europe Express
"From Station to station, back to Düsseldorf City. Meet Iggy Pop and David Bowie"

And off course Bowie's V2-Schneider is named after Kraftwerk's Florian Schneider

weezer - Jamie mentions Kiss and Beach Boys, if I remember correctly
weezer - susanne mentions Izzy, Slash, and Axl Rose

Porcupine Tree's "Fear Of a Blank Planet"

--------------------------------------

My friend says he wants to die,
He's in a band, they sound like Pearl Jam,
Their clothes are all black,
The music is crap

don't know if anyone mentioned this one: Nurse With Wound - Strain, Crack, Break
and The Residents mention Kurt Cobain in one of their songs (don't remember which one)
