I'm pretty sure that Peter and Gwen listened to the Jesus Christ Superstar soundtrack during the Lee/Romita era, and I think I recall an earlier reference by Peter to Ella Fitzgerald.

In Marvel Team-Up Annual #4, Spider-Man asks Killgrave the Purple Man, who has just ordered Our Hero to hang from a lamppost while reciting Shakespeare, if he can recite Elvis Costello lyrics instead as he knows more of those. Quite the hipster, that Spidey.
Cei-U!

Again concerning the fallout of Damian Wayne's death, Batman Inc #9 is very well done. It also contains the funeral scenes for The Knight. So as far as Requiem goes considering overall quality people are best off only reading Batman & Robin #18 and Batman Inc #9.

The fallout after the death of Cliff Baker was handled very well. The scenes before the funeral were sad but I wasn't as emotional moved as I was when Buddy's entire family dies in the previous volume. I found this particular page from Animal Man #20 (Volume 1) to be much more powerful than anything found in Animal Man #19 (Volume 2). That being said I would recommend both issues.
