Enh, it can be hit or miss for me. For me, the problem isn't the references themselves, but that if the reader doesn't recognize the reference, the joke or enjoyment is ruined.

However, if the writer can sorta encapsulate the reference in a way that a new reader can somewhat get, without dragging things down, that can actually be really awesome! For instance, Spider Robinson got me fairly interested in some music, because he referenced them all the time... but I felt like he did a better job than most at making the references enjoyable even if you didn't know Ray Charles already.

And then you have books like Tales from the Securemarket, which takes place in such a different world that people are making pop culture references all the time... but the pop culture is totally different from ours, so the writer has to insure that people still get the references, you know what I mean?
