Oboe. Anything from the Dream Academy albums would qualify. It has a nice pure sound almost like a vocal.

In second place would be the sitar, or the Hammond Organ if someone is rockin out. The Peddlers, or Fanny would be good examples of excellent Hammond.

  • I'm biased bc I played oboe in school band but it's true, a really great sounding oboe goes totally unappreciated. I was asked to do the solo to "Kiss from a Rose" or w/e by Seal and that had probably one of the only mainstream music oboe solos. Sadly the singer went with a different song before the show.
