Have you ever heard a song where you think: 'I wish I could play that', or, 'One day I want to be able to play that'?

This is what I asked my class in our English speaking exam earlier this week. Many answered yes. Undoubtedly, then, some of you guys will be able to say the same.

Albums, artists, genres or songs are all accepted.

Post them here.

I would like to someday be able to play every major Bowie hit while singing at the same time.

Definetly Reptilia, by The Strokes.

The guitarist in me wants to be able to play like Mohammed Suicmez. The musician in me wants to write stuff that can be released. :S

Anything that involves Les Claypool on bass. I also need musicians for a band...

Just about every song I listen to, actually. I'm an instrument-nut.
More specifically, the bass part of Axel F, and the entirety of Mike Oldfield's "Tubular Bells".

Not really a particular song, but one day I want to be able to bang the drums at random and make it sounds as good as Keith Moon did.

Also, Neil Peart's intro to One Little Victory. Fuck you, Neil. Stop being absurd.

Everlong.

I'm play keyboard, and ever since I first saw him, Sky Vaughn White from Foxy Shazam has been my hero. Muttonchops, man.

The Greatest Man that Ever Lived (Variations on a Shaker Hymn) by Weezer would be cool to play.

Victor Wooten is the reason I want to play the bass.

Also, the first result that you get when seardhing "awesome bass" on YouTube.

Tuxedomoon bass.

I wouldn't mind being able to play like a classical guitarist. I mean, I can emulate, but the training that some flamenco guitarists have and some classical guitarists have just sounds fantastic.

I also wish I could play Aqualung by Jethro Tull. That song is epic.

i wanna be able to play "through the fire and flames" by dragonforce, but i know thats not gonna happen soon

any song that contains an instrument I can't play. Or "Miranda this ghost just isn't holy anymore" and "Cygnus..." by mars volta

Fantasy = Animal Collective + Passion Pit

Most of dragonforce, and a few things by Disturbed and Slipknot. Yeah, I have weirdly-ranging taste in music.
