"Get my head kicked in for liking Yes, instead of Suzi Quattro or The Rubettes."

-from the song "The Sun In My Eyes"

Doh! How could I forget that one? Thanks.


Just remembered E.L.O. mentioned the Beatles in one of their songs, but I don't remember which - anyone know?

Does Dream Theaters " Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds" count?? (in Octavarium) and they also mentioned Kurt Cobain in their song Just Let Me Breathe.

Heldon - In the Wake of King Fripp

Acid Mothers Temple - many of their albums have titles like Starless and Bible Black Sabbath or Univers Zen Ou de Zero a Zero.

Robert Wyatt in Soft Machine sang about "All our mates like Kevin (Ayers), Caravan and the old Pink Floyd" (Moon in June alternate lyrics)

David Bowie wrote "Who needs TV when you've got T. Rex"

Get the idea?

What other prog (or even non-prog) acts have mentioned other acts in their lyrics?

Just curious - it might even be possible to link them up
if there are enough examples.

Note: I'm not on about quoting the music - just mentioning other bands in song lyrics.
