have you ever not know you needed somehting till you got it?

That's how I feel about Shiina Ringo in general.

I thought Alan Wilder was the one playing the melodica in 101!

Regardless, it's still the best.

Augustus Pablo, obv.

Although I do quite like the melodica in Blue's "All Rise" too (the only thing I like about that song tho)

Augustus Pablo, obv

Too much improvisation! ;-)

I Couldn't Wait from the Kurt Wagner/Josh Rouse work-up is quite nice.

Roland Kirk's clavietta work deserves mention, even if he does play it with one nostril.

New Order are all over this thread, but no-one's mentioned "In a Lonely Place" or "Turn the Heater On" yet?

Nice soprano melodica solo in Belle and Sebastian's "Electronic Renaissance".

Other than anything by Augustus Pablo, 'Love Vigilantes' by New Order and 'Fishes Eyes' by New Fast Automatic Daffodils.

I will cast another vote for "It's Her Factory."

I can't emphasize enough how worthy the Charlie Palmieri's use of melodica is on The Heavyweight.

Live performance of this classic song with an awful-sounding melodica solo starting around 1:35. It goes on and on and...yeah, wow. Is that in the studio version at all? Are they just trying to expand their sound?
