Recorder in rock/pop: playing the solos from 36 songs | Team Recorder

Did you know the recorder has been used in hundreds of pop/rock songs, from the 1960s on? I was going to make a video where I talk about it all, but then I decided to choose a bunch of my favourite examples and just play it for you 😅
A few notes!
- there are soooooo many more songs. If I've missed out your favourite - next time! Share it below ;)
- not all of these songs were strictly recorder, a couple were for flute or whistle. Or even synth. But I thought they fit the main theme and deserved a shout out!
Thanks to Windkanal magazine for compiling so many songs! You can find SIX youtube playlists featuring recorder in popular music here: www.windkanal....
The bands I included that actually feature really professional recorder players:
