Heh, bassoon.
There’s one band I recall from the 70s called “Lucifer’s Friend” that included (briefly) a French horn, on a song called “Ride The Sky”; the horn line was evocative of Led Zeppelin’s “Immigrant Song”. LF’s singer, John Lawton, replaced David Byron in Uriah Heep.
I still remember the AC-DC song from their first album, “It’s a Long Way to the Top if you Wanna Rock and Roll.” That one featured bagpipes. I suppose a young Bill Barr could’ve cameoed with them.
