Rocking in Springfield.

Sooner or later, every one of us will cameo on The Simpsons. Unsurprisingly, though, the show is focusing on celebrities first, and Lord knows The Simpsons loves a famous guest spot. Over the years, Springfield has welcomed just about every notable figure you can think of, most prominently from the world of music.
Often (especially in the later years), the show will usher in a celeb simply to pop a rating. They’ll be introduced by name in case we couldn’t recognise them, riff briefly on whatever made them famous, and off they’ll go.
Sometimes, though, The Simpsons uses its musician cameos to fantastic use. Whether it’s for the purposes of a joke, a plot contrivance, or a full fledged storyline, when the show has the right combination of purpose and musician who’s up for a laugh, these cameos can create some truly memorable moments.
These are the musicians who truly got the concept of the show, or otherwise had an aura and a presence that the show was able to manipulate to great effect. Some Simpsons cameos are deeply pointless; these were unforgettable.
