The Top Five Songs ... featuring a Cow Bell

Henry Irving

Yeah, this is getting more desperate/obscure by the minute, a bit like the football club, but hey it's just a bit of fun so here goes.....


5. Don't Fear the Reaper - Cowbell Version

4. Little Willy - The Sweet

3. Honky Tonk Woman - The Stones

2. Play that funky Music - Wild Cherry

1 Low Rider - War

Couldn't think of any others

Shrew

the whole of the moon - the waterboys

nigel

Soul Sacrfice and/or Jingo from the first Santana album

and just about every single one of the great records made in Cuba over the past 50 years, from Beny More, who was known rather delightfully as 'the barbarian of rhythm', to Buena Vista Social Club...

Shrew

marching through the wilderness - David Byrne, brilliant song.

Rothko

Get out of town - Lucky Soul

Driving in my car: Madness. Possibles: The Lonely Goatherd (Sound of Music), Rawhide (Frankie Laine), Ghost Riders in the Sky (the Ramrods instrumental version). Oh, and Tubular Cowbells (remix).

Marcos Valle - A Vantage de Rever Voce(from a brazillain cd i got from rio.)

Henry I'm assuming you left out Purple Haze deliberately?!

Chunes

Definitely "don't fear the reaper". Especially the SNL skit where Will Ferrell has the cowbell.

Tommy Dowling

I think Nicko McBrain uses a cowbell at the start of 'Hallowed Be Thy Name', the best track Iron Maiden ever produced.

Friend Or Defoe

Little Sister - Queens of the Stonage

Honky Tonk Women - Rolling Stones

Riscardo

Sharon Redd- Never give you up

Hate the band, but 'Night Train' by Guns N' Roses has to be up there, surely?

I saw Maggie Bell live at The Valley in 74.
