I totally agree with this. Any instrument can be used in a way that is fantastic, hell I've even heard kazoo done in a way I enjoyed before.

So yeah, hooray for all the prog bands that aren't afraid of cranking out a bichin' Fiddle solo. Gentle Giant, Hawkwind, Roxy Music, Magma, Caravan, Mahavishnu Orchestra, Comus and David Cross era King Crimson.
EDIT: Not the David Cross you're thinking of.

Haha. I just had this awesome image in my mind of the
