Take that one step further with Warren Zevon
Sweet Home Alabama
Play that dead band’s song
Turn those speakers up full blast
Play it all night long
not really about Lynyrd Skynrd, but they get a mention, of sorts
I never knew. Ta.
I like both groups.
That’s allowed, right?
Excellent.
Robbie Williams and PSB collaborated on the highlight of his Rudebox album, She’s Madonna. An excellent song and video.

When Harpo Played His Harp. Another from Jonathan Richman:
And along those same lines:
“Hey Mark, you’re spoiling all the paint work!”
^ heh - NSG - their best album.
One-hit wonders LFO namecheck both New Kids On the Block and New Edition in Summer Girls.
I just want to see Rollins’ hot bod.

“I Remember Clifford,” about Clifford Brown, by Benny Golson but recorded by hundreds of jazz musicians. Here’s Sarah Vaughan:
Tom T. Hall, “Me and Jimmie Rodgers”
“The Spirit of Keith Moon” Peter & The Test Tube Babies

A band called Grandaddy, with Alan Parsons in a Winter Wonderland

Sympathetic to him:
Hurray For The Riff Raff - Ode To John And Yoko
NOT so sympathetic to him
The Damned - Would You Be So Hot If You Weren’t Dead
This is an obscure song by “mickey hart’s mystery box”
Garcia is alluded to in the last verse.
