I actually love the cowbell in Ozzy's TheWizard. There is just one single cowbell strike but it is so good.

Theres a techno song on XM 82 that has all the cowbell clips Ron and Fez play of Christopher Walken. Its a must listen to.

I don't care if it actually has cowbell in it or not, "Unbelievable" by EMF is [U]not[U] a cowbell song.

It's just not.

Yeah, I thought is was odd that they threw that in there. I'm sure I heard that song 1,000 times back when it was a hit. I don't remember there being a cowbell in there. I'm unwilling to pay $.99 to iTunes to find out for sure though.

Whatever white kid from the suburbs that wrote that list should have been jackslapped by his editor. Here's a couple off the top of my head that destroy EMF, Guns & Def fucking Leppard.

Sly & the Family Stone - "Everyday People", J Geils Band - "Ain't Nothing but a House Party" or Wilco "Casino Queen"......

It's a wonder nobody reads Entertainment Weekly anymore.

It's not so bad. I usually find some good stuff in there. For instance, if I hadn't read this week's edition, I wouldn't have known that a Two-Disc Collector's Edition of Taxi Driver (http://www.amazon.com/Taxi-Driver-Two-Disc-Collectors-Robert/dp/B000R8YC18/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1/002-0667280-7442420?ie=UTF8&s=dvd&qid=1186971420&sr=1-1) is being released this week.
