    I'm so glad someone mentioned the Hooters. Nervous Night is an under-rated, and more-or-less forgotten album. The hit single off that record, "And We Danced" is one of the best rock songs of the '80s.

    Not only does the song feature a mando, but so does the video:

    I heard "Hey Hey What Can I Do?" by Led Zeppelin the other day and it sounds like some mando in there.

    Anyone else notice the mandocello citation on Cheap Trick's masterpiece, Heaven Tonight? I'm assuming it's buried somewhere on the title track.

    String Cheese Incident.
    They are more of a jamband, but instead of having a lead guitarist they have a mandolin player(usually electric mandolin). His name is Michael Kang, and he is amazing.

    And on Carnival '99 Michael Kang plays acoustic mando on "Shenandoah Breakdown" and it's amazing. Not rock, per se, but good stuff nonetheless. Drew Emmitt is another under-mentioned mando genius.

    I haven't seen anyone mention Holiday Inn from Elton John's Madman Across the Water.I believe it's played by Davey Johnstone. It's a great tone does anybody know what sort of mandolin it is?

    Joan Osborne's new disc Little Wild One has a couple of mandolin tracks. She has re-teamed with the same folks who she worked on Relish with - The Hooters team of Eric Bazilian, Rob Hyman, and producer Rick Chertoff. Much the same way that Relish kicked off with the mandolin on "St. Teresa," the new album kicks off with a mandola driven "Hallelujah in the City," before giving way to more straight rock instrumentation. The other track "Can't Say No," features a mandolin lick as a near constant rhythm, somewhat buried in the mix, but still identifiable as a mando.

    In Niles' format:
    Osborne, Joan LITTLE WILD ONE Hallelujah in the City Bazilian, Eric opens with mandola
    Osborne, Joan LITTLE WILD ONE Can't Say No Bazilian, Eric

    Butch Walker has a few songs off his new album Sycamore Meadows

    Going Back/Going Home

    The 3 Kids in Brooklyn

    I also watched an episode of Live from Abbey Road with matchbox twenty using a mandolin on How Far We've Come.

    I went to see the LOUD Scottish rock/folk group The Proclaimers ("I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles)" - don't ask) with a friend, and one or the other of the Reid twins plays mandolin on some of their songs. Because I'm not familiar with them, I'm not sure which songs, but it's in there somewhere!

    I don't think anyone mentioned the late, great Ronnie Lane, and his band Slim Chance? There were probably a few tracks which featured mandolin but I particularly remember the 1974 single, "How Come".

    Hey all,

    Maybe I missed it, but I haven't seen mention "In My Own Dream" by the Butterfield Blues Band, with Gene Dinwiddie on the mando.

    All the best

    And no one has mentioned Indigo Girls or even some of Amy Rays solo stuff (punk rock for AMY) and folk rock for Indigo Girls. So many different tunes that the Girls have used mandolin on and at least 5 different ones that are Punkish that Amy has used her Model A Gibson on. I'll try to come up with the tune names tomorrow when I go through the cd's at home.
    If it ain't got at least 3 strings on it, it ain't worth playing.

    Just sittin back, pickin and grinnin!

    Thank you AMY RAY for giving me an interest in mandolin and bouzouki, as well as Bill M, and countless others!

    Two words I wouldn't expect to see in the same sentence together: "Amy Ray" and "punk rock". I just did a search on youtube for anything by her and I would categorize her music as "rock". I've been listening to punk since 1978 and playing in punk bands since 1986 so I think our definitions of "punk" must be very, very different.

    Cheers,

    I don't know how this thread has slipped under my radar. Thanks to ellebrille for starting this, then disappearing, and bigbike for bringing it back, and thanks to Niles for his massive contrributions - both the lists he found and the recordings by a certain Mr. Hokkanen that might have escaped others' notice.

    I've taken some time to compile the various lists, add in subsequent posters' suggestions, plus some of my own, and standardize the list for easier reading. I've organized the list alphabetically by musician and then alphabetically by song title. I've maintained this order while restoring musician's names to conversational normalcy. For example, no one talks about Winter, Johnny - it's Johnny Winter, and it's in the W's. Jethro Tull is in the J's - it's the name of a band, not a person in the band. I've standardized punctuation, capitalization, and alphabetization, using the Leonard Maltin method - this method ignores punctuation and word breaks, so Dr. John follows The Doors, as "dr" is the way his name appears, despite it being a contraction of "doctor," which precedes "doors" alphabetically. That's just the way I do. Also, I capitalize every word in a title - sorry, NY Times stylists. Also, since the thread title mentions "rock", I'm assuming that bluegrass and country are out as well as jazz and blues, while rock and pop are in. I don't think folk belongs either, so as far as I'm concerned, sorry, Amy Ray. Besides, no one has suggested an actual song by name - that's the bottom line for inclusion.

    I've left out duplications, suggestions from people that weren't actual songs ("so and so use mandolin on such and such an album" isn't much help), album titles (this is a list of songs), and editorial comments. As far as I'm concerned, since it took two years and 57 posts to get to "Friend of the Devil" - thanks, Steve O - no contributors are entitled to use the phrase "I can't believe no one's said ..." You've forfeited that privilege. I also excluded a balalaika reference, but retained a few mandola citations. I've left in the Townshend/Lane songs for now, but I would appreciate it if anyone could determine whether they feature mandolin or ukulele.

    I'm taking people at their word, by and large, as I don't know a lot of these songs and even musicians and am sure not about to research them, as I've put in a few hours on this and that's too much already. If someone says there is mandolin on "Safety Dance," OK fine, but I'm not going to suffer through it to confirm this. Same with that song by Poison. I've removed some duplications and some that didn't jive with my memory. For instance, if someone is sure there is mandolin on Bruce Springsteen's version of "Atlantic City," OK, put it back in, but whoever said that may be confusing it with The Band's version.

    Following are my additions. Blue Rodeo has been mentioned, but here are some more from one of my favorite albums, "Five Days In July." I know they have plenty more, but this is the only one of their albums I have with me. Also, Jimmy Ryan has been mentioned - no songs specifically, so he's not on the list - but he is represented here by his work with Blood Oranges and Cheri Knight. I don't have any of Levon Helm's albums at hand, but I am sure there is plenty of mandolin on them, so if anyone has them please add those songs. Same with Sting's new album. I have to look further into the recordings by Lucinda Williams and Tom Petty, as I think some of their songs that sound like they feature mandolin actually have half-scale twelve-strings.

    Finally, there are lots of songs missing from this list. I know there's more mandolin in Dan Hicks' recordings, and there are also musicians who have come along since this list was started, like The Ditty Bops and Katzenjammer. But I don't have their albums, so if anyone does, please add their songs. I think this list is supposed to be just studio recordings, too. Oh, yeah, and this list is already nearly twice the 10,000 character limit, so it may be soon that it will have to be broken into three parts!

    Amy Ray-Johnny Rotten, Let it Ring-definately has a punk edge to it.
    Indigo Girls-Ghost of the Gang, Ozoline,

    And both of the above have others that I can't think of right now cause it is 4:45 am and I am tired and finally going to bed.
    If it ain't got at least 3 strings on it, it ain't worth playing.

    Just sittin back, pickin and grinnin!

    Thank you AMY RAY for giving me an interest in mandolin and bouzouki, as well as Bill M, and countless others!

    You may think it has a "punk" edge, but to my ears it simply has a "rock" edge - distorted guitars/fast music do not automatically make something "punk".

    Were you involved in the punk scene? Just asking out of curiousity here.

    Cheers,

    Anything solo recordings by mandolinist Jimmy Ryan (who played mandolin for the Blood Oranges, and for Blood Oranges bandmate Cheri Knight, both listed above by JB).

    Also...

    Peter Mulvey: If Love is not Enough
    John Mellencamp: Small Town (acoustic version)

    I am kicking myself because, after collating and editing that list - and being impressed with how many songs were on it - and posting it, of course a few minutes later I remembered having discussed the following a few times the last couple of weeks:

    Shakira - Gypsy

    I guess every couple of weeks or so, when enough new songs have been mentioned, I'll add them in and repost the list. Keeps my office skills sharp ...

    Glad to hear I'm not the only one who knows about Jimmy Ryan, Cheri Knight, and Blood Oranges. Of course there are no videos of Blood Oranges at youtube (they broke up too soon), but there are a good number of Jimmy in various configurations and three (3) of Cheri Knight with Jimmy Ryan in the band.
