Somewhat more atmospheric than tuneful... The Cure: 'Subway Song' and 'Splintered In Her Head', 'Bananafishbones'

Most of the Culture Club tracks around the time of 'Colour By Numbers' are peppered with Judd Lander's awesome harmonica. Delightful.

Compare that to the off-tune, wailing drone of practically any Bob Dylan track and you'll wonder how it can be the same instrument.

I'm thinking of Nightingales by Prefab Sprout... such a lovely song. Stevie Wonder plays harmonica!
