The beatles used two clarinets and 1 bass clarinet in the song "when I'm 64" Supertramp also used a clarinet in the 1979 songs "Breakfast In America" and "Take The Long Way Home". Muse did a song in 2009 titled "I belong to you" and in the song there is a beautiful bass clarinet solo, you can find the solo in Bb clarinet on youtube if you do not play bass clarinet. The song is off of their album "The Resistance" and I highly recomend listening to it :)
