I need a list of good songs (~30), preferably Rock/Pop, which feature a cowbell. I have three to start: **The Rolling Stones** - _Honky Tonk Woman_ **Nazareth** - _Hair of the Dog_ **Joe Walsh** - _Rocky Mountain Way_ Are there any good '00-'04 cowbell songs? Thanks ---

_Rapper’s Delight_ starts with a cowbell. Doesn’t _Lowrider_ by **War** start with a cowbell too? ---

There’s a lot of cowbell in Lard’s (Ministry and Jello Biafra) “70’s Rock Must Die” which uses 70’s rock to make fun of 70s rock, and check out “Red Morning Light” by Kings Of Leon. ---

> [@Made in Macau](#): > > I’d dispute some of the above - Veronica by Costello? I thought the same thing… I just listened to Veronica all the way through, and I don’t hear any cowbell. _Bells_, yes, but most certainly not a cowbell. If there’s a cowbell in there, it’s too subtle to notice. I really reached to hear one, too. I don’t think subtle, straining-to-hear cowbell sounds are the type the OP is looking for, somehow. Correct me if I’m wrong, but I’d think they meant a more distinctive cowbell sound. ---

From that huge list, I have to suggest that some are heavier on the cowbell than others. For instance, the cowbell on Owner of a Lonely Heart (Yes) might be enough to satisfy even Bruce Dickenson… ---
