Bagpipes and recorders are my least favorite sounding acoustic instruments. By that same token, I used to hate banjos but now love them so maybe it is time for me to reevaluate my aversion to bagpipes? The Wings' song Mull of Kintyre has bagpipes and it works in the context of the song. Peter Gabriel's Biko also has bagpipes that work in the context of the song.
