And, of course, Stairway To Heaven by Led Zeppelin. Surprised nobody's
said that yet.
There is an English band called Frazier Chorus which has flute (and oboe)
in most of their songs as well. More an "alternative" band than a "rock"
band, but I thought I'd mention them anyway...

Because those aren't flutes, they're recorders - possibly played on a
Mellotron. (Elton John played mellotron-flute on "Daniel".)

How about Hendrix on "Electric Ladyland", Chris Wood of Traffic is on "1983".

Several progressive rock (or art rock) groups used flute music in their
performances.
Peter Gabriel played flute on a number of early Genesis songs. Songs from
Trespass (1970), Nursery Cryme (1971), Foxtrot (1972), and Selling England
by the Pound (1973) feature Peter and his flute.
Ray Thomas played flute on several Moody Blues albums over the years.
Mel Collins played flute on King Crimson's albums In The Wake Of Poseidon
(1970) and Lizard (1971). Ian McDonald played flute on the album In The
Court Of The Crimson King (1969).
Some of Steve Hackett's (ex-Genesis guitarist) albums feature flute music.
In a more pop-type group, Greg Ham played flute on Men At Work's album
Cargo.
That's all I can think of for now. Hope this helps in your flute-pursuit!

Not only that, it's a mellotron synthesizing a recorder.

And there was me thinking that was John Paul Jones playing the
_recorders_ at the beginning...not flute, I'll grant you, but I don't
think it was all mellotron either. Forgive me if I'm wrong.

Isn't it an ocarina, which has a non-western tuning?

A mellotron doesn't synthesize its sounds, it plays back
actual recordings of the instrument.

I wouldn't say that Focus was best know for those tunes, at least in the US
they weren't.
Let's get obscure...
"Audience" - several songs from their "House on the Hill" album featured
the flute prominantly.

The flute is featured alot on most of the music done by the Marshall
Tucker band - very interesting for a southern country rock band.

Peggy Bertsch
flute. Check out their greatest hits on Rhino Records. I guarentee you'll
recognize more songs than you think (My faves are "Cinderella" and "Mexico"
even though "You Are the Woman That I've Always Dreamed Of" is probably
their biggest hit?).

Black Sabbaths's Tony Iommi uses the flute in a few of their songs,
such as Looking for Today from Sabbath Bloody Sabbath, various songs
on Born Again, etc.

Genesis featured some flute when Peter Gabriel was still
lurking aroundwith Phil, Mike, Steve, and Tony.
Some of his solo stuff has flute in it as well, but more
sparsely, as his use of synthesizer and 1970's VOX stuff
increased.

I just wanted to throw in my two cents worth...
The mellotron does indeed play back recordings of the instrument--flutes,
violins, voices, and some weird horn-type sound that I can't quite place.
The instrument on "Stairway to Heaven" is indeed a mellotron. The
mellotron figured prominently in the music of such progressive rock acts as
Yes, King Crimson, Genesis, Gentle Giant, etc.
It can also be heard on "Breaking the Girl" and "Sir Psycho Sexy" on the
Red Hot Chili Peppers' "BloodSugarSexMagik" album.

Tim Weisburg, who happens to be the flute player. He's primarily a jazz

album. Quite a good album actually.
