I've always been a fan of Don Henley's use of it on tracks from "Building the Perfect Beast" and "The End of the Innocence."

I didn't use the actual
linn drum machine
but I found the effect
on Fruity Loops and created
my own beat, which eerily
recalls Vanity6/Controversy
I can't wait for ya'll to hear
"be who you are and say what you feel
because those who mind don't matter
and those who matter don't mind."
