Seemingly every shitty Nashville bro country song does this these days, referencing Ol' Hank, Skynnard, Alabama, Johnny Cash, ect. I see this as a desperate ploy by these artists to say "No, really! We're country! I promise!!! See, look, we know who xyz old country star is!!!" It's almost as dumb as them still acting like brand new Chevys with the lift kit still have bench seats like it's 1975.

Pavement had several....
Range Life
Unseen Power of the Picket Fence
This whole song is an homage to REM.
Range Life
quote:
Out on tour with the Smashing Pumpkins
Nature kids, I/they don't have no function
I don't understand what they mean And
I could really give a frick
The Stone Temple Pilots,
They're elegant bachelors
They're foxy to me
Are they foxy to you?
I will agree
There isn't absolutely nothing
Nothing more than me
Unseen Power of the Picket Fence
This whole song is an homage to REM.
quote:
There's some bands I'd like to name check And one of them is REM
Classic songs with a long history
Southern boys just like you and me R.E.M!
Flashback to 1983
'Chronic Town' was their first EP
Later on came 'Reckoning'
'Finster's Art', and titles to match
