Hard to believe the harmonica hasn't been showcased here yet. Seems to be an overlooked part of my Blues re-connection I've gone through lately. So now it is fixed... And its a fun topic as well, I know some of the obvious choices I could have made here, one being Baba O'Riley (The greatest classic rock track ever recorded) but those songs and several others (Piano Man for example) I will leave up to you. I'm sure you can come up with songs like Train, Train... Take The Long Way Home, speaking of Supertramp... School is another great tune featuring harmonica, but lets not go too far, you have to chime as well...
Enjoy!

For some reason, the first thing I thought of was "If You Wanna Get To Heaven" by The Ozark Mountain Daredevils.
Some classic songs/albums!
AC - Because of spotify, i've been able to listen to all of AC's backcatalog, or most of it. It's much better than I expected, since the albums I bought was his mid- to late 80's albums, which I didn't like at all. This is a good album, but it's been a while since i heard it, because I can't really remember this song?! But like a lot of bands/artists, there are times, when I like to listen to their albums, and times where I don't. But I'm sure I will get back to this album another time. Not bad at all. Still, I'm no fan of his voice.
BS- But I AM a fan of Ozzy's voice. Even though AC was/is pretty good, BS is definitely one of alltimes best bands, up until 1982, that is. Amazingly strong debut, and still the band was able to deliver better albums. That makes me a big fan!! Is it really Ozzy on Harmonica? Probably.
RS - I would also call myself a fan of Stones, but they have only made one REALLY great album, and this is not the one, even though it's pretty good. I tend to be a bit bored, listening to a Stones-album (except for Exile), but obviously it's great music. Jagger was in fact pretty good on the harmonica. Keef said once, that the true Jagger was heard on harmonica. I agree, that he's much better than Ozzy on that instrument.
LZ - What's to say? LZ is only second to The Beatles imo, and this is a great song to end a great album. Plant was not in league with Jagger on the harmonica. sounds like, it was just because everybody else was doing it at the time.
The best ever on harmonica was/is Stevie wonder!!!
The first song, I think of, is Piano-man.
And a lot of Dylan-songs. I don't really like Dylan on Harmonica, though.
Some guy named Neil Young used that harmonica thing every now and then.
Guess there's actually a lot of songs with harmonica but I never really paid attention to it. Well, except for maybe the intro to "Train, Train" because it was so cool. Not that I have anything against the harmonica since it is a great way to pass away that prison time. Heck, I even have one now and occasionally play around with it when I want to get really annoying.
The four songs here are really good, actually have three of these albums and had that fourth at one point of my life but will probably never buy it again because of that one song that is just horrible and it makes me cringe to even thing about it.
Really glad you've picked up more Stones albums. You're still missing a few. You need ti pick up more.
I still have Goats Head Soup, Beggars Banquet and Steel Wheels in my wish list. Anything prior to BB sounds really dated to me so I'm not interested in those. And the Bridge to Babylon, and Dirty Work got horrible reviews so I'm steering clear from those as well. Not really intrigued by anything live other that Get Yer Ya-Ya's Out! which has killer reviews... but I've got enough to occupy my time for a good while...
