Dream Theater have the following from Octavarium. It's song titles rather than band names but they mention Ripper Owens and David Lee Roth as well as Nightmare Cinema, which was a spoof band featuring the members of Dream Theater all playing different instruments.

Country artists do it all the time, and I find it a little irritating.

Tom Petty mentions Del Shannon in Runnin' Down a Dream. "...me 'n Del were singing Little Runaway..."
Clash mentions Bowie in Clash City Rockers.
Kid Rock has that Sweet Home Alabama song.
Neil Young has From Hank to Hendrix
The Band mentions old Spike Jones in Up on Cripple Creek. Damn, but that is a sweetass song...
Can't think of any metal bands that do this other than what's been mentioned.

I'm too lazy to go thru this entire thread to see if this one has already been mentioned, so I apologize if it's a rerun... but I'm listening to the Corabi Motley Crue album right now and have caught several references to "Mott the Hoople" in the song "Poison Apple"
