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

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.

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.

I didn't have the chance to get a good listen at Kayo Dot's albums, but they did have a clarinet player at the concert I've been.

There's plenty of 'em. Maxophone's french horn. King Crimson's Red's cello break. All of Chris Squire's Fish Out of Water. Then there's Jimmy Hasting's flute solo from "Fish... ." Last but not least are the delightful tones of Mr. Anderson's soprano and "sopranino" saxes from Tull's masterpiece, "Passion Play."

I've heard (sometimes) clarinet in Banco's music

Personaly, the more prog has different instruments, better it is (usually)

to choose somes, I will say Oboe and Cello

Piano, Flute, and Acoustic Guitar. Big smile

Sometimes oboe when it's used correctly, and saxophone is excellent in jazz rock music.

Church organ is awesome, and I have a soft spot for folk instruments like bouzouki, hurdy gurdy. And harpsichord.
