"ebow the letter" by R.E.M. off of the severely underrated new adventures in hi-fi. an early version recorded live while they were on tour with radiohead featured thom yorke on backing vocals instead of patty smith on the album/single version.

the solo to Soma off Siamese Dream is something like 28 tracks of acoustic guitar ebow. sounds amazing.

The Beatles - Eleanor Rigby ... most famous use of it. But I love the e-bow on almost anything.

sorry, I got nothing for you - I was asking a coworker about a song that we thought had ebow on it, but my manager told me to get back to work.

Sometimes I'm just WAY offbase and I get these CRAZY ideas that part of my job is to post on forums!!
