I joked in a previous thread that the flute has no place in music. Well kinda joked. With the exception of “Moondance”, I can’t think of an instance of the Rock Flute that didn’t make me reach for the dial.

I invite you, individually and/or collectively, to offer up 10 great rock songs that feature a flute. I’ll be the judge and jury.

Here are the rules:

Not including Moondance.

• The flute must be relatively prominent and integral. Don’t split hairs, you know what I’m sayin’.
• I flippantly said “music,” but for this challenge I’m limiting you to rock songs.
• No more than 2 songs by a given artist. I confess that there might be other Van Morrison songs that I’m unaware of. (BTW: Van Morrison is the exception to another one of my rock laws. Stay tuned.)
• Mellotrons, and other devices, that sound like flutes don’t count.

Tip: Don’t even try any Tull. DOA
