THE BEST INSTRUMENTAL...

...Ever!
Chose your fav
IMHO "Stream of Consciousness" from last DREAM THEATER album is the best instrumental track ever written
What're your favs?

My favorite instumental ever is either "Nocturne" or "Root Beer Rag" both by Billy Joel.

Root Beer Rag is great.

La Villa Strangiato - Rush

One of These Days - Pink Floyd

Eternity (Memory of Lightwaves)
Aria de Mezzo Caraterre
One Winged Angel
Aeris' Theme

all done by Nobuo Uematsu the main music composer of the video game series Final Fantasy, this man is one of a kind he's a genuis when it comes to composing music. I really recomend him to you all and believe me you won't regret listening to his music.

Fire on High - ELO

4'33'' by John Cage.

Hawaii 5 O theme song :P

Well, I think most of the early Joe Satriani stuff is great.. I love his style, I mean he isn't Brian May or anything..

"One Winged Angel"

But that has lyrics. It IS awesome though! :D *stolls off chanting the word 'Sephiroth'*

"Funeral For A Friend" Elton John

Honorable mentions;
"Linus and Lucy" Vince Guaraldi
"Raunchy" Bill Justis
"Last Date" Floyd Cramer
"Red River Rock" Johnny & The Hurricanes
Anything by Duane Eddy

"My favorite instumental ever is either "Nocturne" or "Root Beer Rag" both by Billy Joel."

If we are talking popular music here, then I agree with this. I often play Nocturne (on the piano, I mean) for my own enjoyment.

It's a beautiful song! Gets me every time...

"But that has lyrics. It IS awesome though! :D *stolls off chanting the word 'Sephiroth'*"

isn't it GREAT Dan ??!!
i know about the lyrics part it's in the original game soundtrack but if you own the piano collection you'll find an instrumental of One winged angel there.
