Was it;
Corky Laing
Bill Ward
Albert Bouchard
Will Farrell?
Or perhaps some obscure 'cowbellist' that some of us have never heard of!
What are some of your favorite songs that make use of the 'cowbell'?
Who are some of your favorite cowbellists?

Beatle Fanatic - Yeah I agree, Neil Peart is an awesome cowbellist. I read somewhere that he can play more than one cowbell at a time!
I'd like to see Bob Bryar do that!

Darth - Yeah, he can play 'lead cowbell', and 'rhythm cowbell' at the same time!

Ok, I'm straying from the idea of the question, but I figured I'd mention that Tommy Lee whilst in Motley Crue's pomp used the cowbell ad nauseum( "best" is not a word I'd associate readily with this example...). My point is that it's people like this idiot that managed to stigmatise the use of cowbells in the 80's(also think Bon Jovi and all those other poodle-permed types). I'd personally go for Corky Laing( he was the drummer in Mountain, wasn't he?). "Nantucket Sleighride" is a great album, and I've heard a West, Bruce and Laing album that had good use of the cowbell(as I remember..)

Mick Fleetwood.
He played it in at least 4 Fleetwood Mac songs :~
Oh Well {part 1}
Go Your Own Way
Gold Dust Woman
Hold Me
Though, on the last 3 it is rather subtle!

I agree with LexLuger..Charlie Watts..made "Honky Tonk Women"..Lucky they didn't play 'the Cow Palace'..mighta been a stampede..the guys from early Santana made a fair fist of it too..*EDIT* Sister Rose Wolf... Great call on "Oh Well"..(Part 1)..one of my all time juke-box faves and 45s..*EDIT* Darth Maul...Ginger Baker on the studio side of "Wheels Of Fire"...Great glockenspielist on 'Passing The Time','Those Were The Days'...

I'd say Neil Peart from Rush although he's not obscure.

Neal Part gets My vote too Chunga, but Albert Bouchard isn't far behind.
What I want to know though is who plays the meanest glockenspiel?

Peter Criss used a lot of C Bell in the early KISS days.

Don Brewer, drummer for Grand Funk Railroad, song: American Band! I couldn't imagine that song without the moobell! He sang that one too.
Nice question too.
