Even more cowbell

Yeah, yeah, "Don't Fear the Reaper." But the cowbell is a marvelous instrument, utilized by many a band. You can find a pretty freaking complete list here, but the following are some of my favorites that use the 'bell to best effect.


Hugh Masekela, "Grazin' in the Grass"


En Vogue "Free Your Mind"


Tone Loc "Funky Cold Medina"


Blood Sweat and Tears "Spinning Wheel" (That percussionist looks so happy!)

The Rapture "House of Jealous Lovers"


Hot Hot Heat "Talk To Me, Dance With Me"


Stealer's Wheel "Stuck in the Middle With You"


Motley Crue "Live Wire"


Santana "Oye Como Va"


Yup, I've left off a billion of 'em. The cowbell is a much more prevalent instrument than I thought when I started this quest about an hour ago. Which ones are your faves?
