Don't forget to check YouTube next month to see the Detroit duo's cameo! Or, we suppose, watch it on "television."

Score = 0
Daltrey: "Who huddle!"
Score = 0
Homer: Now Grand Funk Railroad paved the way for Jefferson Airplane, which paved the way for Jefferson Starship. Now the stage was all set for the Alan Parsons Project, which I think was some sort of hovercraft.
Score = 0
Kim Gordon: Hullabalooza isn't about freaks; it's about music, and advertisement, and youth-oriented product positioning.
Score = 0

Kim,
Meg doesn't wear shoes in the "Under Blackpool Lights" DVD...
Further bit of trivia: they filmed the DVD over two nights, and for the first night Jack had "NOXIOUS" written on his left arm. For the second night, he added "OB" so that even though they had to wear the same clothes (the exact outfit, in fact, that the animated Jack is wearing above) and play the same set, fans would be able to determine which parts of the film were filmed at which show.
Score = 0
When Radiohead call Scott Tenorman a baby. Wait, wrong show. OK, how about this, courtesy SNPP.com:
Adam: Look, guys. I got a Springfield spoon for my spoon collection.
The Edge: Aw, 'ere we go...

Adam: Nine. If I didn't have my spoons, I'd go insane.
Bono: Can I see it?
[Adam hands him the spoon; Bono promptly throws it behind his head.]
Adam: My spoon!
[the spoon lands on the head of Charles Montgomery Burns, who sits in the seat directly behind The Edge.]
Mr. Burns: [muttering] Wankers.

Meg hardly (n)ever wears shoes when they play. I can't think of one time I've seen them where she is wearing shoes. If you do a quick google image search you will find numerous photos of her without shoes.

Score = 0
Burns: And to think, Smithers, you laughed when I bought Ticketmaster. (imitating Smithers) NOBODY'S going to pay a hundred-percent "service charge."

----and ---
Roadie: Someone here ordered the London Symphony Orchestra, possibly while high. Cypress Hill, I'm looking in your direction.

"At Otto's wedding when he gets an 80s cover band.
Lead Singer - "No, we're Cyanide; a loving tribute to Poison"
Drummer, screaming - "We need a ride home!" "
I always thought it would have been funny if, after the announcement that they were Cyanide, the bassist or something had quickly said "I was in Poison."

Homer (to Abe): "You're not with it!"

and
Homer (in record shop looking through the oldies bin): "Styx? I just heard them on the King Biscuit Flower hour."
Score = 0
Sorry guys, I hate to be a Simpsons snob, but 90 percent of these quotes are from after the show had gone way down hill. The exceptions are the Chilli Pepper episode, Flaming Moe's with Aerosmith, and Homer Palooza (bad episode from Season 6, a great but inconsistent season) Here's one that is when the show was in its prime:
Marge: Sting, I really appreciate you helping out our son.
Sting: I can't quit while one of my fans needs me.
Marge: Actually, I don't think Bart has played any of your records.
Homer: Shhhh! Marge, he's a good digger!
The "We Are the World" parody with Krusty singing "All the Way Down!" is priceless as well.
Score = 0
