Breaking the Mold

Since Jim's week was like 2 weeks ago and we didn't get the topic up in time, here it is.

"I'd like to hear everyone's top 5 list of songs where the 'arrangement' breaks the mold. By that I mean to say that the style is modern (rock or whatever) but the band includes at least one permanent member that plays something other than Guitar/Bass/Drums/Vocals. Horn sections? Violins? Harpsichord? Australian bagpipe-mellophones? The weirder, the better. The more members, the better. But remember, it has to be something that might have made top-40.

Rap groups with samples don't count. Country music with a fiddle doesn't count. Classical music doesn't count. Okay? Okay!" --Jim
