Best Instrumental Tracks

dazedcola · 05.20.2006, 04:08 PM

What are your favorite instrumental tracks to listen to ? I'm gonna bend the rules a little and count tracks that have words as long as the instrumental part is longer than the verses (i.e. Sister Ray)

my favorites...

Pink Floyd- Interstellar Overdrive, Pow R Toc H
Ritchie Valens- Sleepwalk
Oxes- Russia is here, boss kitty tony baines
Lightning Bolt- all of hypermagic mountain
Dick Dale- Miserlou
Link Wray- Rumble
Meat Puppets- Magic Toy Missing, Aurora Borealis, Teenagers
Sonic Youth- Mildred Pierce (goo demo version), Diamond Sea,death to our friends
Pillows- Nightmare, Thunder Whales Picnic, Sayonara Universe
Velvet Underground- Sister Ray
Breeders- Flipside
Nick Drake- Things Behind The Sun
Minutemen- cohesion
Jimi Hendrix- Third Stone From the sun, 1983
Big Black- strange things

Pow R toc H has a lot of vocals! All these chicken screams.....

But I think Careful with that axe Eugene is the best PF instrumental ever. 2nd would be Atom Heart Mother

cool list & topic, dazedcola

i like everyone's selections

in addition to doing a spot-on cover of Interstellar Overdrive (much better than any other band), Camper Van Beethoven have many other original instrumentals that are really fine.

Border Ska, Yanqui Go Home, 9 of Disks, Payed Vacation: Greece, Vladivostock, Skinhead Stomp, Mao Reminisces About His Days in Southern China, Balalaika Gap, Abundance, Turtlehead, 073003000, S.P. 37597, Cattle (Reversed), Eye Of Fatima (Pt. 2), L'Aguardiente, No Flies On Us, No Krugerrands For David, R'n'R Uzbekistan, The Fool, The Perfect Enigma Machine, The Poppies Of Balmorhea, Waka, ZZ Top Goes To Egypt

SYRs, Peter Gabriel's Passion, My Life in the Bush of Ghosts really doesn't have lyrics really, there's some rather soothing ones on the Twin Peaks soundtrack,
& there's so many Zappa instrumentals that I'll just mention Son of Mr. Green Genes from Hot Rats...

noisemachine · 05.20.2006, 09:06 PM

any of Mogwai's instrumentals (which is most of their stuff).

TheDom · 05.20.2006, 09:12 PM

You can't beat the jams Hendrix did.

That reminds me, their cover of Sickles & Hammers is much better than the Minutemen's.

I know there are more instrumentals out there, but my mind is drawing a blank.

acousticrock87 · 05.20.2006, 09:50 PM

I just listened to SYR 6 #3 twice, and it was pretty damn good.
