I actually hope that this does not get relegated to the BS section and I don't know if this has been done before. Somewhat further to the defense of the banjo, I would like to start a list of what the most well known recorded songs featuring a banjo (any type) are.

Now, my ground rules, when I say "well-known" in the most general sense. It was a hit or had somewhat decent popular air play. So please, no songs from self-produced CDs or by someone who is only known in small circles.

I also believe, that with very few exceptions, none have been recorded by British artists. One that has banjo on it that does come to mind, is "Squeezebox" by The Who.

This list I am sure is not endless, so please limit your songs to three and give someone else a chance or two before you add more. With the aforementioned Who song, I will add:

Foggy Mountain Breakdown
The MTA
