1. Violent Femmes - "Gone Daddy Gone." This song features a xylophone solo. A solo!
2. The Rolling Stones - "Under My Thumb." The song is carried by the xylophone melody. Brian Jones, was the master of random instruments.

Rock you like a ...xylophone???
The xylophone is the cowbell's uncool cousin. Much like the classic SNL skit "Cowbell" , there aren't too many songs that feature the xylophone. I know one of my favorite current bands, Man Man uses it, but I have to go back to the new wave era with bands like ABC, OMD, and the like that feature it. So I was wondering, what is the greatest xylophone rock song of all time? I have pitted what I feel are the best two. Take a pick.
