So rock songs with (real) bagpipes. 'You're the Voice' by John Farnham, 'It's A Long Way to the Top...' by AC/DC... Obviously bagpipe-adjacent Big Country songs, powered by guitar. Any others?

Folk rock rather than absolute rock, but both Shooglenifty and Peatbog Faeries use bagpipes occasionally. Worth a listen if you don't know them.

Aware of them, but I don't think I've ever listened. Cheers.

The thought of the bagpipes brings to mind Mull of bloody Kintyre.

Test Dept has a track on Pax Britannia that features bagpipes, a banjo and a didgeridoo! It’s pretty good.

I'm amazed that, say, Laibach haven't indulged.

Obviously lots of original material, but their cover of Queen's 'One Vision' is, well, basically Queen at the Nuremburg Rallies. Also their cover of 'Life is Life' by Opus. youtu.be/ZZAD7W3M4zc?...
