Mike, On the subject of Robin Trower....the 'English Jimi Hendrix' (and I thought HE was English....well they did discover him,and he passed this mortal coil on their soil)sorry I digress.............his master work 'Bridge of Sighs'1974, contained this wonderful track 'Lady love'that contained enough cowbell to have him included in this list of bell bashers !!
Enjoy
Niall

Michael listed some songs:
Dee Lite - Groove is in the Heart!
Utopia - Hammer In My Heart
B-52s - Rock Lobster (original 45 is by far best) Big Star (several) - In The Street, She's A Mover,...
The Jaggerz - The Rapper
Procol Harum - Whiskey Train (an awesome cut!) Hugh Masekela - Grazin' in the Grass (an all-time fave)
I used to go to the Fillmore East all the time and prior to Whiskey Train, Robin Trower's guitar work was basically relegated to nice, tasty fills in the mini-orchestral lineup that Procol Harum featured at that time (ie 2 keyboards). The legend is that Whiskey Train was intended to be some sort of whaling chanty until Robin "got hold of it"....
In concert, he would SHRED that song and you realized you were watching a virtuoso and the rest is history....
Mike
