Check out the Red Hot Chili Peppers' "BloodSugarSexMagik" sometime. They drop so many names on that album I lost count.

If we're counting song titles, there's Opeth's "For Absent Friends" which was a nod to Genesis.

Totally non-prog: Alice Cooper - Lost in America mentions Stairway To Heaven Bloodhound Gang - Fire Water Burn:
I'll spend my days with J.F.K., Marvin Gaye, Martha Raye, and Lawrence Welk,
And Kurt Cobain, Kojak, Mark Twain and Jimi Hendrix's poltergeist |

In what way is this naming bands?
Don't worry, I can answer. It isn't. |
You can found a lot of references in this part of Octavarium:
III. Full Circle (12:15-18:27) Lyrics by Mike Portnoy
[Isn't this is where we came in] [from Pink Floyd - The Wall]
sailing on the seven seize the day tripper diem's ready
jack the ripper owens wilson phillips and my supper's ready
lucy in the sky with diamond daves not here I come to save the
day for nightmare cinema show me the way to get back home
again
[Running forward
Falling back]
Spinning round and round
[Looking outward
Reaching in]
Scream without a sound
[Leaning over
Crawling up]
Stumbling all around
[Losing my place
Only to]
Find I've come full circle
flying off the handle with careful with
that axe eugene gene the dance machine
messiah light my fire gabba gabba
hey hey my my generation's home

[Running forward
Falling back]
Spinning round and round
[Looking outward
Reaching in]
Scream without a sound
[Leaning over
Crawling up]
Stumbling all around
[Losing my place

Find I've come full circle

Yes, but he did the narrative on Rick Wakeman's Journey To The Centre Of The Earth, which means he's included on an album in the archives. That's prog enough for me, even if the album is a bit of a dud.

FZ in We're Turning Again
Dey were mellow
Dey were yellow
Dey were wearing smelly blankets
Dey looked like DONOVAN fans
(HU-UR-DE-EE
GU-UR-DE-EE) |
and
Now I seen 'em tightenin' up dey headbands
On the weekend and dey get loaded
When dey came to town
Dey walk around in GREEMICH VILLAGE
To buy posters dey could hang up
In dem smelly little secret
Black light bedrooms
On LONN-ISLAND
Singin': "JIMI COME BACK!"
Now come back and regulate de boy's FURZ-tone
Yo' HAZE was so PURPLE
It caused your AXIS to be BOLD AS LOVE
(JIMI-JIMI-JIMI-JIMI-JIMI FEED BACK)
Now Jimi gimme some feedback
Come back and feed back on my knapsack
You can feed back the fuzz tone from your WAH-WAH
While you bend down
And set your stuff on FIRE |
and
We can turn it around
We can do it again
We can go back in time
Through the canyons of your mind
On the EVE O' DESTRUCTION
We can act like we are something really special
WOOOH, we'll just jump in the bath-tub
With that other guy JIM
And make him be more careful
We can visit Big Mama
And whap her on the back
When she eats her sandwich
(LA LA LA LA)
We can take care of Janis
When she gets so depressed
She can't take it no more
We can laugh at Keith Moon's jokes
(HA HA HA HA HA)
And the colour TV
(HA HA)
He threw out de windum
Fum de second flew-ah!
(YEAAHHHHHH!)

In Shangri-La from A New World Record, the line goes:
"My Shangri-La has gone away
Faded Like the Beatles on Hey Jude"
And Bowie's All The Young Dudes was already mentioned but also in that song he writes:
"And my brother's back at home, with his beatles and his stones"

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. |
Pink Floyd also mentioned Lucy in the Sky in Let There Be More Light. Not a band name but a well-known song, so I suppose it can count.
Good stuff - keep them coming! |
They weren't referring to The Beatles' hit --- Nick Mason openly acknowledges that Syd was talking about LSD (which back then was often called 'Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds'). Porcupine Tree - Pure Narcotic 'You keep me listening to The Bends'; The Bends is of course a Radiohead album. Porcupine Tree - shesmovedon 'Your newest craze/Is Straight Out of The Face by The Bed Unread'; The Bed Unread was an underground 80s group from Britain.
