[Lyttelton Ranger]

Top 5 songs that feature violins (or other stringed instrument)

Edit: they must feature violins!

 

[Plugger35]

Do fiddles count? This would be no.1 if they are.

 

[Lyttelton Ranger]

Do fiddles count? This would be no.1 if they are.

Good choice but violins it must be

 

[Plugger35]

No one ever plays violins in rock, it's fiddles or strings like this Neil Young song.



No one ever wants to be labelled a violinist in rock, you'd rather be called a fiddler.

 

[AtomicBlonde]

Edit: they must feature violins!

Very restrictive as the fiddle is far more popular in pop/rock/country/folk circles but:

1. Beauty And The Beast - Stevie Nicks
2. Eleanor Rigby - The Beatles
3. Blood Of Eden - Peter Gabriel
4. Famous Blue Raincoat - Jennifer Warnes
5. Isis - Bob Dylan
