Thought I'd ask this one, there's obviously tons...

Just a top 3 or 5 will suffice.

Jessica - Allman Brothers Band
Bron Yr Aur - Led Zeppelin
Hope - Rush

What say you?

    My favourite are the SRV ones. Little Wing, Lenny, and Riveria Paradise are all beautiful...

    This is Monte Montgomery doing Little Wing.. Absolutely amazing!

    Believe me, when I was growin up, I thought the worst thing you could turn out to be was normal, So I say freaks in the most complementary way. Here's a song by a fellow freak - E.V

    Ditto. SRV doing Lenny is my favorite.
    It makes much more sense to live in the present tense.

    atom heart mother by pink floyd

    i'd say one of these days by pink floyd but that's basically the dr. who theme music!

    a lot of stuff by godspeed you black emperor like world police and friendly fire, moya and their entire last album

    when you told me 'if you can't beat 'em, join 'em'
    i was thinkin 'death before dishonor'

    If anyone on this board listens to 60's music, check out "Work Song" and "East-West" by the Paul Butterfield Blues Band. It's off their second major release "East West" which came out in 1966. There is some mindblowing stuff on those two songs.

    yeah, this one's great.

    Pink Floyd- One Of These Days. I like a lot of their instrumentals, actually.
    The Chieftains- Dunmore Lassies
    REM- New Orleans Instrumental No. 1
    Allmans- Jessica
    Booker T & the MGs- Green Onions
    Beastie Boys- Groove Holmes
    Def Leppard- Switch 625

    There's more I'm forgetting I'm sure. Then there's things like Godspeed, Dirty Three, Moodswings, DJ Shadow and others who don't really have any vocals in much of their music that I like, too.

    This is one of my favorite songs all-time, but it still has vocals. They may be a voice-as-instrument type thing (since he's singing made up words), but he's still singing on it.

    i was gonna ask the same thing. can't believe the first mention of miles came on the second page in a thread about instrumentals. i'm partial to "freddy freeloader" if we're talking individual tracks.

    as far as alternative rock music is concerned, i would say "pacific theme" by broken social scene.

    also...the song "pink steam" from sonic youth, while not strictly an instrumental track, is a pretty great song. one of my favorites of theirs. rather ripped is a very underappreciated album in my opinion.
