Can someone out there please tell me why Nobody EVER mentions one of 
the most outstanding uses of a mellotron EVER? For me it has got to 
be John Paul Jones on "The Rain Song".. Before I even knew that it 
was a mellotron making all of that music it had me completley in 
awe.. Its a beautiful Jimmy Page composition no doubt, but without 
the Mellotron it just wouldnt be magic.. I know alot of you out there 
got yer first taste of the Mellotron by listening to all of the 
classic prog bands , and they certainly contain some fine examples of 
classic Tron.. But not even a mention of this piece?!! I really love 
when the intro bit repeats, after the instrumental break,  and the 
Cello follows... Always touches me.. Oh well let my rant fall upon 
deaf ears.. I mean,  you mentioned Billy Joel and Elton John's use of 
Tron before this one?!!
