How about Sir Paul Mccartney with Linda on the roof of Apu’s?

How about The Who tearing down the Springfield Garbage wall with Feedback from Pete Townsend’s guitar

Ah, yes. The cameo by Sir Paul is fantastic. That whole episode is timeless actually.

Little Richard:

Homer: Woo! Purple Rain!
LR: Shut Up.
Homer: Wow. Michael Jackson just told me to shut up.

“Have the Rolling Stones killed…”

Aerosmith playing at Moe’s for free pickle eggs.

U2’s appearance. Homer getting the crap beat out of him on the big Popmart screen while Bono was singing Pride (In the Name Of Love).

“He’s talking about sanatation!”

All great choices. But I cant believe no one has brought up George Harrison and Homer meeting at a Grammy afterparty..one of the all time best scenes EVER on the simpsons

George:Hello Homer. I’m George Harrison
Homer:OH MY GOD!…Where did get that BROWNIE!?”
George:Over there. There’s a whole plate full of them
(Homer goes over to gobble the brownies in traditional Homer fashion)
George:wow..what a nice fellow.

CLASSIC!

and of course, at the end when the Be-Sharps are reunited on the roof of Moes (Ala-Beatles last performace)
(George drives by in his limo,,sticks his head out)
George:It’s been done.

This is def. one of the best and my fave. Ramones is my other favorite.

Madonna was already on the Simpsons – or at least as much as she needs to be. The British made Homer take her back to the US in a bag several years ago.

RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS!!! awesome episode. awesome cameo.

Actually, Pete Townshend’s brother voiced Pete in that episode with the Who. I actually just read that and was quite bummed.

C’mon, Peter Frampton at Hullabalooza is the all-time classic.

Also, the Pumpkins in the same episode….
Billy: “Billy Corgan, Smashing Pumpkins.”
Homer: “Homer Simpson, smiling politely.”

Runner-up: Phish, in the “Weekend at Burnsies” episode…
“Phish better see a prescription
or we’re outta here.”

Ringo calling marge and thanks for the beautiful paint she made of his idol. Amazing!

The Who

Yeah, the one with Ringo and the “It Don’t Come Easy” montage was great.

How about the episode that features the Smashing Pumpkins?

Cypress Hill hands down my favorite

oh yeah, Smashing Pumpkins hands down definetly~!

How about Bette Midler…as much as i hate her singing, you gotta love her picking up garbage and going postal on the litterbugs as they drive by

What are you a moron? Or just a Metallica fan. That appearance is nothing on the many other rock stars that have been on the show. All the suggestions on this board ie. u2, the who, smashing pumpkins and all those bands in the episode with them all are better choices.

ok, oops, bette midler isnt rock. i recant my statement of her and go with the nysnc…oh wait, they arent rock either. D’OH!
but seriously, gotta go with U2 and the Chili Peppers with Erik Marshall in Frusciante’s place

The episode with the Chili Peppers.

Krusty: How about instead of, “What I got, you gotta get it put it in you”, you say, “What I’d like is I’d like to hug and kiss you.”
Band: (earnestly, not sarcastically) Oh yeah! That’s much better.

The episode of Homer, Bart and Lisa going to the Lollapollooza concert to see Sonic Youth, Smashing Pumpkins and Peter Frampton.

Since when is Madonna “rock”?

Jesus, you guys are running out of ideas already, giving us lame gossip about the multi-untalented one.

And please stop running pictures of her ugly mug. Seeing her and the Williams sisters the same day made me throw up my Pouilly Fuissé!

smashing pumpkins a no brainer my fav band ever!!!!!!!!

the smashing pumpkins a no brainer my fav band ever the best!!!!!!

“Johnny Cash is Homer’s coyote spirit guide. ”

THat’s the one. Awesome.

Close second as has been mentioned… The Pumpkins/Cypress Hill/Frampton one.

What’s that smell?

I dunno. Smells like Otto.

For some reason, my absolute favourite is Barney getting the Grammy from David Crosby: “You’re my hero!” “Oh, you like my music, huh?” “You’re a MUSICIAN??!?” Just the way he says it pretty well sums up what I love, and what I suspect we all love, about Barney Gumble

Phish!!! Homer gets high!

The tour Homer goes on in the episode with the Smashing Pumpkins/Frampton/Cypress Hill is the Hullabalooza tour–a loving tribute to Lollapalooza.

It’s a four way tie with me

The “Homerpalooza” episode with the Pumpkins, Sonic Youth and Cypress Hill cracking one-liners at Lollapalooza.

The episode with Lisa, Apu, Linda and Sir Paul atop the Quik-E-Mart (I miss her too!)

George Harrison reliving the last days of the Beatles through the Be-Sharps

And of course, Bono having Homer get his ass kicked at a U2 concert

Honorable mention to Metallica, The Who, RCHP and Johnny Cash

Homerpalooza!!

“It’s only rock n’ roll camp” – Jagger

“..but I like it!!!” – Homer

How about the other David Crosby cameo where Lionel Hutz is getting tempted by a bottle of bourbon during a trial and calls up his sponsor, the Cros.

has everyone forgotten Aerosmith’s appearance in the classic Flaming Moe’s episode. It’s really one of the best.

Blink 182 in Tony Hawk Episode

It’s Arik Marshall, not Erik

Michael Stipe: (wielding broken bottle) You lied to us!
Mike Mills: Michael, no!
Peter Buck: That’s not the R.E.M. way.
Michael Stipe: You’re right. Let’s recycle those shards and get out of here.

Your all wrong…..Ms.Krabappel holding Aerosmiths Drumer’s Drum sticks in the back of shi$$y car…original…classic

RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS!!!!!! that was a really good episode too and who can forget Barneys chant “we want chili willi! we want chili willi!!” lol, that was classic

“Billy Corgan, Smashing Pumpkins”

“Homer Simpson, smiling politely!”

I Cant believe no one has said the one where bart gets in a fight with the white stripes where the play “hardest button to button”

Paul McCartney, the vegetarian episode

You don’t win friends with salad, You don’t win friends with salad!

The White Stripes are one of my favorite bands, but I was really dissapointed by their cameo. I know they recorded at least an hour of material, so I was really suprised that’s the best they could come up with. My top 3

1. The Ramones (”Have the Rolling Stones killed”)
2. Red Hot Chilli Peppers (”Our lyrics are like our children, man”)
3. George Harrison (”Oh my God! Where did you get that brownie?”)

I’ll give an honorable mention to Jackson Browne and James Taylor

I know that the band isn’t cool, but I still laugh everytime I think about BTO playing the State Fair.

Homer – “Play the ‘Working Overtime’ part.”
BTO – “We just did.”
Homer – “Play it again!”

James Brown in the “Do what you feel like/Be Like The Boy” Episode
“Whoa, this bandstand wasn’t double bolted”

Also
Barry White
in the Whacking Day episode
Lisa asks him for help
“Anything…for a lady”
later bart asks, “you like snakes don’t you barry white?”
“Oh yeah, i love the sexy slither of a lady snake,”

Also
BTO rules and they are cool

When homer has a band and they play on top of Moes and George Harrison stops by and says “Its Been Done”.

This would be the greatest cameo:

Bruce Springsteen turned down the chance to appear on The Simpsons, the show’s executive producer has revealed.

Al Jean: “Bruce Springsteen, we’ve pursued him and he hasn’t done it.”

Matt Groening, the show’s creator, added: “Yet”.

The Rock and Roll Camp had some great lines:
Mick Jaggar to Lenny Kravitz “Hey Lenny, don’t you have a crotch to stuff?”
When Homer takes Elvis Costello glasses and Elvis “Oh no, my image is ruined”
Jaggar at the end of the camp, “Gotta go now Homer, the lawn doesn’t just cut itself”

The Ramones appearance, all 44 seconds of it, is priceless.

The Ramones was classic, but I’m going to go with The Tap.

“Ouch! my Plectrum hand.”

– Deleted

Barry White(Whacking Day)1991
“I love the sexy slither of a lady snake… oh yeah!”

How about “The Flaming Moe” episode? “You fell on Aerosmith!!!”

i know he waan’t rock, but the simpsons should’ve had an episode with 2pac in it. r.i.p. the best rapper ever!

The Moody Blues in Viva Ned Flanders, with Ray Thomas saying “I want Fattie!!!”

Sadly, it didn’t make much of an impression on my Simpson addicted son.

Green day,metallica n smashing pumpkins.. I cudnt stop shrieking..lol

At the risk of soundling like a complete pussy at their mentioning in the midst of all these Rock Legends, I do have to Bring up N*SYNC. “Yvan eht nioJ!”

JT: “Word!”
