One thing I love about music is the instruments, all of them, I can't really think of one I don't like, they all have something special about their tone and they add a unique flavor to a song. I also love people who still make new radical instruments for a living, that to me is an important musical contribution that gets overlooked. Chapman sticks <3<3<3

Anyway, kudos for adding bass, even bassists for bands I don't particarly like, I have to admire them when they have the balls to take over a song and not just be the guitarist's bitch. Bassists really don't get enough credit.

And seconded on the violin too. I hate that people think it's a lame gimmick whenever instruments outside of guitar/drums/bass/keys are used in rock music. That's just a bunch of rubbish, I feel rock music is a bit too safe when it comes to the "standard" rock band ensemble. Violins really can rawk you know.

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.

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.

Haha. I just had this awesome image in my mind of the other David Cross playing with King Crimson.
