    Gong at the beginning? Or synthesizer?

    Ironically, Get it on (Bang a gong) has no gongs whatsoever.

    Neither does the Stockhausen record above. Cool cover, though.

    Doesn’t just about any song by Emerson Lake and Palmer qualify? :laugh:

    It's synthesized, for sure, but the beginning of "Beat It" by Michael Jackson sounds like it is supposed to be a gong.

    The one song that immediately came to mind was "Journey" by FM from

    Isn’t that a gong fading in at the start of I Don’t Know on Blizzard Of Ozz? Weirdly, that’s the first one I thought of.

    not a song, but an iconic use of a gong
