Not so much an unexpected instrument as it was just unexpected for the band for me...but that synthesizer solo in Led Zep's "All of My Love" gets me every time. It's just so different than their normal stuff.

Heard it in a Love Song
For me, at least, any song that has an accordion in it, I'm just instantly drawn to it. Not really sure why, but I just love that sound! Like USS Zydacosmobile by Jimmy Buffet. Hate the song, but with the accordion! I could listen to it all day!

just throwing in QOTSA's Lost Art of Keeping a Secret for xylophone at the intro. Adds a great texture.
Ruth Underwood for Zappa was prolly the most prominent xylophonist in rock for Zappa.

If you're going to bring up JPJ synth lines, you have to include the little ditty in The Crunge I love the groove, but the synth chosen is just so goofy. Gotta love John Paul Jones.

Steel drums in Jane Say's by Jane's Addiction. Very effective use of them. I don't know if that song would be very good without them.

I can think of several bands that used banjo in at least one of their songs and very effectively - REM, The Who, Uncle Tupelo, Led Zepelin, Neil Young. Probably plenty more.

dream theater had a song called "another day." mediocre song, good guitar solo. but the end of the song has this amazing little clarinet solo outro. its a shame that it couldnt have found its way into a more prominent part of the album, but i guess its hard for moore, sherinian, ruddess to recreate the album live. i wish they would have given so much thought to reproducing the vocals....
another day
