The Web proves its nostalgia value in this Metafilter post that mines YouTube for video clips of major musicians and groups who performed on Sesame Street: Johnny Cash, Ray Charles, REM, Stevie Wonder, and several more.
I have to go dig out the cassette of alternative groups covering ABC's Schoolhouse Rock now, which Underdog and I supposedly bought for Spork, but listened to a hundred times on our own. (I'm not sure we have a cassette player any more.) Here's the Wikipedia entry for Schoolhouse Rock, which includes the tracklist for the alt-music tribute album, lyrics to all the songs, history, etc.)
(In the Metafilter post, note the two e's in "The Beetles Come to Sesame Street.")
