I don't know. The Replacements' Bastards of Young has always been a favorite SNL performance of mine. So much so, that I've written of it before a few times in the past.
Other greats were Paul Simon with George Harrison, the Grateful Dead doing Casey Jones, Bowie with Scary Monsters, Patti Smith Group's Gloria cover, Beastie Boys' Body Movin', Neil Young's Rockin' in the Free World, Duran Duran's two songs & Laurie Anderson's two appearances.
As you undoubtably know, it was John Belushi's lobbying that got Fear on the air.
Lately, the musical guest portion of the program has been fairly awful with popular stuff like Outkast's Hey Ya & Gwen Stefani's Hollaback Girl being among the most recent standouts.
