"How I Spent My Strummer Vacation," Episode 293
In a 2002 episode called "How I Spent My Strummer Vacation,” Homer -- and several other Springfield regulars including Chief Wiggum, Otto and Apu -- attend a rock 'n' roll fantasy camp hosted by the heart and soul of The Rolling Stones, Mick Jagger and Keith Richards (who plays the opening riff to "Start Me Up" on a Telecaster that's not plugged in).
When the one-week-long camp is over, Homer -- understandably -- doesn't want to leave. So Jagger offers him a chance to perform at a benefit gig, the Concert for Planet Hollywood.
Among the camp instructors are Brian Setzer, Elvis Costello, Tom Petty and Lenny Kravitz, who deliver some great lessons and one-liners and add to the already-impressive star power of this episode.
Classic: Keith Richards announcing that he has to put up the storm windows. "Winter's coming," he adds.

Before I checked out your Top 10, I had a suspicion the episode with the Moody Blues would be left out of it. And I was right! Those poor guys don't seem to get any respect. When ABBA makes the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and the Moodies don't, the rest is pretty predictable. Not everyone likes the Moody Blues, but the 'Simpsons' episode in which they appeared was pretty funny.
