I think the best musical guest was Cypress Hill. Loved the Orchestra with Insane In the Brain.
Close second was the Red Hot Chili Peppers with Krusty's Comeback Special. I love the "Don't Snap The Undies" line by Chief Wiggum in that.
'NSync wasn't bad this past year. The "You Need It Old School" line by one of the members was classic.

My favorite musical guest of all time had to have been Robert Goulet doing "Jingle Bells, Batman Smells" in the Burns' casino episode. Just classic.
I also like the 'N Sync episode. Those guys are hilarious once you get past the whole boy band fad thing.
Some other honorable mentions are Bette Midler doing a parody of her appearance on the last Tonight Show with Johnny Carson, the whole Hullabalooza line-up was great, and Tony Bennett doing Capitol City.
I love this show, Shawn
Tito Puente's revenge on Burns.

Yeah, that was excellent. Made me feel like dancing. I wanted to dance the night away.
Puente's song was my favorite too; I don't know if this counts as a "musical guest", since they didn't have any actual lines on the show, but Yo La Tengo's brilliant melding of the Simpsons' Theme with "Tomorrow Never Knows" by the Beatles was truly inspired. (Closing credits of "D'oh'in in the Wind", I think...)

Argh! That N'Sync episode is one I have to lean on the FF button in order to watch without gagging. The episode was all right (the Matrix reference was funny, and the "old school" line was amusing), but that boy band stuff just churns my bowels.
My favorite is probably the Canyonero song, although HWJ didn't actually "appear" on the show. A lot of the different end credits versions were really good too, Sonic Youth and Tito Puente are a couple that come to mind.
The best musical guests are the ones that actually record something for the show like Elton John with "Your Song". Most of them just seem to recycle existing recordings. I appreciate the fact that a lot of the guest stars are more than willing to poke fun at themselves. "Sacred bond!"

There's nothing wrong with an episode about a boy band as long as it is executed properly, i.e., the exact opposite of how it was done on the Simpsons. That subliminal message stuff was pretty stupid, and they didn't take advantage of the opportunity to parody boy bands or make fun of them. The boy band parody on Conan O Brien awhile ago (Dudez Aplenti) was a lot funnier. ________________________________________________________________

The man's talking about trash. That affects the whole damn planet Oh, great. Bono's going off again. C'mon, lets head out to Moe's for a pint. Can I come too? No. Wankers.
I don't like their music, but I thought that Aerosmith's appearance was the best. With Moe joining in on "Walk this Way" or whatever that song was and Mrs. Crandall trying to seduce the drummer, it was a classic appearance. ________________________________________________________________

The Ramones' performance, hands down, immediately followed by George Harrison and the Moody Blues.

I always found "Stark Raving Dad" with Michael Jackson a good episode. However, I've always had doubts as to whether that really is Michael Jackson. As much as I hate to sound doubtful to the holy Simpsons Archive (which clearly states that it is Michael Jackson but uncredited) I still have my doubts.
