Best use of a banjo in a song

[djerdap]

Banjo rules.
"Old Man" by Neil Young. Amazing.
Vertigo(Temple Bar Mix) also rocks.

banjos are pretty kickass.


REM - i believe

thumbs up to banjos (and accordions... and xylophones)

best banjo song imo: biological - air

 

[KhanadaRhodes]

i don't have a best, but i have a worst: take it easy by the eagles. i don't like the banjo breakdown, a little too deliverance for me.

God, this thread title really cracked me up for some reason. I'm still laughing out loud about it now
I'm tired. I find trivial things hilarious when i'm sleep deprived.

Anyways, voting again for 'I Believe' by REM

 

[Theedge555]

OK, don't bash me....

I am a fan of the Indigo Girls and they do a song "Get Out the Map" - That's my favorite right now.....

I prefer "Flowers in the Window," but that's a great song nevertheless.

Also, I'd like to add "If I Should Fall From Grace With God" by the Pogues.

 

[MrBrau1]

Bloody Mary Morning-Willie Nelson
Will The Circle Be Unbroken-The Wonder Stuff

 

[Do Miss America]

"Come Pick Me Up" Ryan Adams

 

[Mullen4Prez]

U2 vertigo

 

[elevation2u]

side by travis , great song live

i havent heard too much of the banjo in other songs so i cant say i really like it or dislike it, but nevertheless it always reminds me of Deliverance...

though i am really liking the harmonica a lot at the moment

 

[joyfulgirl]

REM - i believe

As soon as I saw this thread title I heard those opening notes. Don't know if it's the best (I'll have to think about it) but it's certainly the first to pop into my head and one of my favorites.

I like the banjo song played in the movie Deliverance.
