IIRC, Pink Floyd's "High Hopes" has a church bell in there somewhere.

About every tenth metal album has one.
I guess one of the highlights would be Horde's "A Church Bell Tolls Amidst The Frozen Nordic Winds"!

Spiritualized, "No God Only Religion"

That's ok. I like them, but know everyone's not going to be into Pink Floyd. Just threw that out as a song that fit the thematic requirements, 'tis all.

The Hidden Cameras - High Upon The Church Grounds

may not be what you're looking for. They're used to intro the song and don't sound very clear in any case. Still a stomping choon tho.

The "disco medley" of Sex Pistols tunes by the Black Arabs on the soundtrack to "The Great Rock'n'Roll Swindle" features church bells.

that other thread reminded me of the bells in arvo part's music,which i really like

― robin (robin), Friday, 20 June 2003 00:33 (twenty-two years ago)

oh,also i just remembered there's a cool track with what sounds like bells by octave one
jeff mills always plays it

― robin (robin), Friday, 20 June 2003 00:34 (twenty-two years ago)

or possibly used to,i think my friend asked him the name of the track and he gave him the record...
(although he probably has several copies,come to think of it...)

― robin (robin), Friday, 20 June 2003 00:36 (twenty-two years ago)

The last track on Sonic Youth's "Sister" and I think the third track from "Neu!2." I'm feeling lazy and can't get up to check my records personally.

Nevertheless, "Psyche Rock" is the best use of bells. That should also go on the "funnest" track ever thread.

― direct_program, Friday, 20 June 2003 03:14 (twenty-two years ago)

i think it's track three off of Neu! 2.
lots of Depeche mode songs.
im pretty sure Hrvatski's got one somewhere on Swarm and Dither, but don't count on recognizing amongst the mess. my sixth sense tells me so.

the song on the new clientele with church bells is beautiful.

― keith (keithmcl), Tuesday, 22 July 2003 23:16 (twenty-two years ago)

I cannot believe this thread has got so far without mention of the greatest record ever, which has very prominent church bells: 'The Bells' by Billy Ward & the Dominoes, with Clyde McPhatter giving the most insanely over-emotional vocal performance ever by anyone.

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Saturday, 26 July 2003 12:30 (twenty-two years ago)
