I agree. I absolutely love church organ, the sheer power and emotion of this instrument is unrivalled for me.
The example you gave, GFTO, is a perfect example. Wakeman's use of the church organ throughout that stunning album is simply majestic. |
Good Call - Church Organ is KING, then Grand Piano of course...........

I'd be interested to hear this; seems like there should be a Decemberists song or two with a clarinet in it. Them lads love to play anything pre-trad jazz.

Love the flute solos in The Court of the Crimson King (King Crimson) and Octavarium (Dream Theater).

Patrick Moraz and Syrinx did a whole album together. A panflute panoply!
For my money, I'll nominate the mandolin.

Perhaps not considered a "classical" instrument, but the Lute played by Jan Akkerman on Tabernakel and Alex Lifeson's use of the Bouzouki on S&A is a nice use of old world instruments.

Quite possibly! Any albums in particular? |
Hi,
To get a really good feel ... go get the DVD Zappa plays Zappa ... which is his son playing the lead ... all in all the material appears to have "smoothed" out over time, and it sounds better than ever ... after that you can get an idea what Zappa was about ...
Very modern by compositional standards, almost adding classical concepts into rock music and mixing the two en force. And also using quite a few modern concepts that were kinda studied in musical departments everywhere ...
The nice part is that he helped develop a lot of rock music, and specially soaring solos and the concept of longer cuts for rock music ... in other words, treating rock as classical music and ... above all ... doing it!
Considering when he started doing this, it is easy to see that the lyrics are done for fun, since if they were "serious" no one would ever give a damn about the music ... and the music business tried hard ... really hard to get this stuff not released or ignored ... totally ignored. Frank was probably one of the very first independent labels ... eventually he sold enough that the distribution conglomerates could not stay away ... but in general they did not support him very well either ... and he didn't care ... he knew that if they were going to support him he would not be able to be "free" as he wanted to be and do ...
And that's the difference between a Metalica (commercial music) or a Zappa ... now you decide if someone like that is worth listening to or not. Regardless of the fact that it may be prog or bullpucky.
It all has nothing to do with the instruments ... it has to do with the person behind them ... and that is the secret that is missing here ... some folks would rather try and see/locate an idea for their minds, than accept what is out there in front of them ... it's music ... that simple.

What I'd personally like to hear more, though, would be mallet instruments: xylophone, marimba, and vibraphone, which I only really remember hearing in Pierre Moerlen's Gong and in Mike Oldfield, where it's also Pierre Moerlen playing them.

Methinks someone needs some Zappa.
