Can You Suggest Some Other Songs Like These?

I am a real rock fan (I like most types of rock and its assorted subgenres). One thing I really get a kick out of is when a band is able to make music that sounds like something completely different using regular guitars and drums. Some that leap immediately to mind include:

“Hell’s Bells” by AC/DC–at the beginning, the guitar and drums sound like real bells tolling.

“In a Big Country” by Big Country–the guitar throughout the song sounds like bagpipes.

“Jumping Someone Else’s Train” by The Cure–in the beginning it really sounds like a train accelerating.

I am not talking about use of a synthesizer to reproduce sounds, but rather creative use of instruments to make them sound like other, non-traditional rock music sounds.

Can you suggest any other songs I should check out where the bands have gotten really creative in creating sound effects with basic rock instruments such as guitars, basses and drums?

Thanks!

Train Kept A-Rollin’ by The Yardbirds, at the intro Jeff Beck guitar sounded like train horn.

Nothing But Love by Mr.Big, Paul Gilbert sounded his guitar like violins.

The Joker by Steve Miller Band, they mix a lot of funny sound and built it around the song.
