"Down Under" by Men At Work has a great one (and it's the one that inspired this topic). Solo by Greg Ham - part of The New Men At Work.
I also dig the "Monkey Man" flute on "No New Tale To Tell" by Love And Rockets. Solo by Mel Thorpe - teaching at a music centre in Melton Mowbray.
There's another crazy flute solo on "Notice The Ring" by Chris Isaak. Solo by Matt Eakle, I think.
Can't forget "California Dreaming" by The Mamas And The Papas. Solo by Bud Shank.
Elevating my brow, "Prelude To The Afternoon Of A Faun" by Debussy was the piece that first got me interested in Classical music.
A poster on a message board wrote: "John Cale once remarked that next to the 'Noise reduction' button on a stereo there should be a 'No flute' button." That's uncalled for.
Any other good flute solos? Please - no Jethro Tull (or "American Pie" references).
