Jim in Pa Posted November 1, 2007 Report Posted November 1, 2007 If someone did mention it already, I did'nt see it. But how bout "WE Ended as Lovers" Jeff Beck? J

Super Ry 71 Posted November 3, 2007 Report Posted November 3, 2007 'Set The Controls' isn't an instrumental.
MuzikTyme Posted November 3, 2007 Report Posted November 3, 2007 Still, this remains one of my all-time favourite instrumentals . . . Rockin' Instro
Lucky Posted November 3, 2007 Report Posted November 3, 2007 Lots of my favorites already listed.... Except this one: Cliffs Of Dover (Studio release by Eric Johnson)
c_s_1987 Posted November 6, 2007 Report Posted November 6, 2007 There are a few excellent instrumentals by The Small Faces, including Collibosher, Ogden's Nut Gone Flake and Wide Eyed Girl On The Wall.

Heard It On The XM Posted May 23, 2008 Report Posted May 23, 2008 "Great Gig In the Sky", "Any Colour You Like", and "Interstellar Overdrive" (all by Pink Floyd) are my favorites. "Great Gig In The Sky" wasn't an instrumental, unless of course you consider what amounts to an extended fake female orgasm to be an "instrument". Anyway, here are my favorites: Jeff Beck Group, "Beck's Bolero" Genesis, "Los Endos" (especially the live version at the end of Seconds Out) GTR, "Sketches In The Sun" (actually a Steve Howe solo, but it appears on the one-off GTR album)

chinchu Posted May 27, 2008 Report Posted May 27, 2008 I'm not trying to contradict you all but a voice is also an instrument... So I think every song is "instrumental"... My own opinion... That's all..
Viaene Posted May 27, 2008 Report Posted May 27, 2008 I consider an instrument something you can learn to play. But if you can't sing (like me) you such can't learn (I tried ) as for song: I'm a fan of "Explosions in the Sky", they make great instrumental music.
chinchu Posted May 27, 2008 Report Posted May 27, 2008 Sorry to differ from you, but you CAN learn how to sing... Maybe you couldn't learn, just like the thousands of people that try to learn other instruments and fail... The human voice was the first instrument, and it is the purest because is the only natural one... Everything else is artificial...
Levis Posted May 27, 2008 Report Posted May 27, 2008 While I see what you talk about, chinchu, I'd have to say that music with singing isn't really what people think of when they hear the term 'instrumental'.
Foolonthehill Posted May 28, 2008 Report Posted May 28, 2008 What's in a name? That which we call a rose By any other name would smell as sweet. that Shakespeare was a pretty smart guy, eh?
chinchu Posted May 29, 2008 Report Posted May 29, 2008 While I see what you talk about, chinchu, I'd have to say that music with singing isn't really what people think of when they hear the term 'instrumental'. Well I did say it was my own opinion.. Of course everyone thinks of instrumental the way you do... But it's is actually a mistake in my opinion...
Levis Posted May 29, 2008 Report Posted May 29, 2008 Nah... I think it's just in use because no one could think of a better word for 'songs without singing.'
Clara Posted May 29, 2008 Report Posted May 29, 2008 Sorry if it's already been mentioned ... White Summer, Black Mountainside - Led Zeppelin Wedding Cake Island - Midnight Oil
Tony Baloni Posted June 3, 2008 Report Posted June 3, 2008 Careful With That Axe Eugene is pretty much an instrumental.
MuzikTyme Posted June 3, 2008 Report Posted June 3, 2008 Even though the following song is from a TV show it remains one of my all-tyme favourite instrumentals. Great lead! Nice theme But before I forget, I'll mention (rest his soul) Billy Preston... Outta Space
Ken Posted June 4, 2008 Report Posted June 4, 2008 J. Geils "Whammer Jammer" live. Magic Dick sets the house ablaze with his harp. See if I am wrong.
Viaene Posted June 5, 2008 Report Posted June 5, 2008 Ballad of the Beaconsfield Miners - Foo Fighters
bazooka Posted July 8, 2008 Report Posted July 8, 2008 Uncle Joe's video for Jimmy Smith's Walk On The Wild Side got YouTube's 'terms of use' heave-ho, but it definitely deserves a reprise. You don't hear much this "big" sounding any more. Jimmy and his B-3 drop in around 2:42.
