Top Ten Rock Songs Which Feature Harmonica
See? I don't just have Blues Harmonica on the brain - I also have Rock; some which feature some of the best Harmonica playing. So...if you know of any more which deserve to be here, feel free to add or vote for an existing item.
George Martin, mentor to the Beatles, recorded an album of their songs, "Off the Beatles Track". The songs are instrumentals using orchestra and other instruments, so hopefully this counts as a rock song. This song is 1 of 2 with my all-time favorite harmonica. (The other is Ray Thomas' "High Above My Head".)
From Moody Blues member Ray Thomas. This song is 1 of 2 with my favorite harmonica of all time. (The other is George Martin and His Orchestra's version of the Beatles' "Don't Bother Me")
"Love Me Do" IS a rock song. Early rock, pop rock. 'Pure pop' in the early 60's consisted of singers with backup musicians; the Beatles had a rock band line-up.
"Love Me Do" is NOT a rock song! It's pure pop!
This song (relatively speaking) is the most bluesy thing they did.
I really would, at some point, love to be able to play this on the harmonica. This is my goal.
Alice Cooper himself plays the harmonica. I think he cut his teeth on harmonica by imitating Mick Jagger and Keith Relf.
This is such a great song.
This song is awesome. I think it's better if you listen to it.
Cool list, thanks for making it.
Not really blues harp, but the harmonica riff is an essential hook.
Surprised this isn't Top 5.
Towards the end you can hear a harmonica faintly playing with the guitar. It’s epic
This one's a really solid rave up. I'm sure you're familiar with it.
