Boy George played one too.

He's #6, not in my top 3.

1. –8 million. Stevie Nicks Ms. Nicks has had such a long and devoted association with the tambourine that many have suggested she deserves ALL the slots on the list. See also subcategory 3: the dark side of tambourining, ex-cheerleaders as tambourine players. 2. Davy Jones (of the Monkees) Many tambourine critics consider him the quintessential tambourinist (or simply the world's greatest tambourine player), however, we think that Ms. Nicks makes the case for her supremacy without any additional commentary on our part. 3. Tracy Partridge Some consider her the patron saint of tambourine players. We would agree if it weren’t for the fact that The Partridge Family didn’t really exist (you would think that would be a plus but our slavish devotion to Ms.Nicks forces us to lower the fictional Ms. Partridge's ranking). 4. Linda McCartney (Wings)RIP (see also subcategory:wives of lead singers) 5. Valerie of Josie and the Pussycats Frequently called "The Smart One" in the Pussycat group. We sort of think of her as The Emma Peel of the Tambourine. Sadly in the current film version of the comic they have decided to use a guitar, a bass, and a drum, so the genius of the guitar, tambourine, and drum sound will be forever a distant memory. 6. Liam Gallagher Read the link, and feel bad for the tambourine. 7. Juan Cervantes Full disclosure: I don’t know who he is. However, we find that tambourineheads have mentioned Tambourine Music of Central America, 1994 as a seminal work in the tambourine oeuvre 8. Joan Osborne See subcategory: another hippie chick lead singer with a tambourine. Dare we say you haven't lived until you've seen her dance around on stage, sing, and slap her tambourine silly. You want to help her find the beat, but enthusiasm counts for a lot here. 9. Patty Scialfa(E Street Band) We might point out that Ms. Scialfa is a talented musician and vocalist and those who have seen the E Street Band live have mentioned to us that in her husband’s support band (see Linda McCartney) she has sung backup and played guitar but see the video of "Glory Days" for her true talent... tambourinist (not a slight remember we love the instrument). 10. Clarence Clemmons (E Street Band) While Patty has only occasionally played tambourine in her husband's band we must look to the person to whom Bruce has had his longest and most intimate relationship for true tambourine greatness. When the Big Man lays down his sax (which happens a lot more often than it should - something we'd like to say about his boss's harmonica) he never stops giving the goods during a stage show - he has an arsenal of tambourines from the crescent half-tamb to the really really big tambourine. He can be joyous, solemn, or playful and still turn in a professional performance. A tambourine hall-of-famer!

I do admit that Mrs. Partridge was a keyboard player, but she also was known to wield a mean tambourine.
