Great Instrumentals
I have a playlist on my iPod of just fantastic instrumental songs. I'm not talking about jazz or classical. I'm talking about instrumental songs by artists who don't mainly do instrumentals - rock music.
Here's what's on my list. What's on yours? Singalong Junk - Paul McCartney Momma Miss America - Paul McCartney I Love N.Y.E. - Badly Drawn Boy Manhattan Bridge - Blues Traveler Sparkplug Minuet - Mark Mothersbaugh Quadrophenia - The Who The Rock - The Who Overture from Tommy - The Who Sparks - The Who Let's Go Away For A While - Beach Boys Pet Sounds - Beach Boys Pick Up The Pieces - Average White Band Root Beer Rag - Billy Joel One Mint Julip - Ray Charles Contusion - Stevie Wonder

If you haven't checked out Liquid Tension Experiment yet, do so. (Petrucci + Portnoy + Rudess + Levin (amazing bass player)) I think we've already mentioned some of their songs...? Also, listen to When the Water Breaks, Biaxident and Another Dimension. Last edited by Darth_Kettch; 11-08-2003 at 05:32 AM.. |

The Venutures have good instrumentals if you are into the 60's/surfing sound. And the only group that has outsold them is the Beatles.

Hmm,
King Crimson - Larks Tongues in Aspic, Part III I wish I could remember the name of the band, but I have some MP3s of a surf band that are just awesome: "Sands Go Vermilion", "Return of the Surfin' Headhunters", and "Faultline". Might be the Del Tones. (Turns out it's Los Mel Tones) Iron Maiden - Losfer Words

How could I forget? Jethro Tull - Bouree.; They also do an instrumental version of Coronach live that is awesome (particularly in this, the dotage of Ian Anderson's once mighty voice.)
As for the Guitar Wizards, while I do enjoy Dream Theatre, I don't know any of their instumentals by name. Steve Vai - Tender Surrender an For the Love of God are particularly good. Satch - Crush of Love, Train of Angels, and Ice 9 are favorites of mine. Zappa - G Spot Tornado and The Deathless Horsie, and, or no other reason but the name, Orrin Hatch on Skis. I like Eric Johnson alright, but the only instrumental of his that I can name is Cliffs of Dover, which is awesome, but which has already been mentioned. Al Di Meola is arguably jazz, but Race with the Devil on a Turkish Highway is pretty awesome. So much for guitar wizards: Cake - Arco Arena Walter Murphy - Night on Disco Mountain Metallica - Call of Ktulu

I like the older metallica instrumentals too, but I also like the '60s surfer rock as well. I was pleasantly surprised when I bought Gary Hoey's album called "Bug Alley". At the end of it, not listed on the label, is Hoey's rendition of "wipeout". It's pretty cool.

great song suggestions,
I have to add Bela Fleck and the FLecktones : lots of their stuff but esp. Big Country (amazing steel drums) and Vic Wooten doing Improv on Amazing Grace off of their last live album, Live at the Quick. Tim Reynolds: I also enjoy quite a few numbers by this man. I've seen him in concert twice and he's just a kick ass guitarist. my favorites are : Put the Gas Mask On, Chatterbox, and Stream. He is amazing to see live simply for the improvisations.
