guitars + guitar-y synths, trumpets + trumpet-y synths, violins + violin-y synths, whatever. I just want to hear some songs with a good interplay between real instruments and synth sounds (preferable analog, and not just sampled sounds) that resemble those instruments.

I was almost gonna add a "no drum machines + drum kits" disclaimer because it's such a common trick. I don't know why it's so hard to think of these.

Does Heart's "Magic Man" qualify here? It's got guitar solos, but it's got synths doing "guitar solos" too.

not really. the timbre of the keyboard (Moog?) isn't particularly guitar-like. good song though.

The Who, "Who Are You" (guitar+ guitar-y synth)

Surely there's a Parliament and/or Funkadelic track with Bootsy battling Bernie Worrell's synth bass?

It's been a second since I've listened but I'm almost certain that Norman Whitfield owned this wrt strings on those Rose Royce records. Also probably the best sounding Linn drums on any record ever...

lots of new order does synth bass + bass gtr too, though hooky is not really doing "basslines" as it were

Many Mahavishnu tracks with very guitarish licks from Jan Hammer (excitedly awaiting the invention of the keytar)

As noted last week Turn on the Lights by the Future had a harpischord-y synth + harpischord sound.
