best instrumental song in your opinion?
 

i know it is a tricky question but i would go with some fim music...

like the "schindlers liste-theme"

jurassic park theme ;)

or classic:

johann pachelbel - canon in d

La Villa Strangiato by Rush is a classic, although there's many more.

Dee by Randy Rhoads is one of my favorite classical guitar pieces.

awesome tune

Id have to add YYZ by rush

and moby Dick by zep

How about the score from Requiem for a Dream? That music is creepy!!!

Eric Johnson - Cliffs of Dover


Classical music obviously has too many to name.

miami vice theme :-)

Mannheim Steamroller - 'Earthrise/Return' (from Mannheim Steamroller V)

serpico soundtrack,main theme

album = tubular bells

that fucking lame trace tune that I think BabeNet or CE played for like three days staright looped at IA2000

"thr lauch" jesus.......I heard that in my dreams for months.........and VIP strip rooms.....for years. Fucking junk.

My brothers wife (woman) theme
La mujer de mi hermano.

and i liked aiways the theme from Mortal Combat.

hard to beat tubular bells

Orion, by Metallica.

BTW, how can it be an instrumental song? Isn't a song, by definition, sung?

Let's call it best instrumental tune or piece instead. :)

lol yeah true, a "song" is with words/lyrics. We've all suffered massive ownage.

"Anesthesia (Pulling Teeth)" - Metallica

More like Cliff Burton though, half the tune's his bass alone...

The call of ktulu - metallica

also almost every Liquid Tension Experiment song!

DJ Shadow Album- Endtroducing

E. Morricone "Chi Mai"
F. Papetti "I just called to say I love you"

about a quarter of the songs on The Fragile by NIN.

Plus some BSides - At The Heart of it All, The Great Collapse etc.

canon in d

The opening theme to Star Wars...that first hit still makes the hairs on my arms stand up!

Pail Gap - Jimi Hendrix :)

yeah, I debated who to credit there, hehe

Always sad to listen to.

elo - fire on high

Dammm can remember the exact song, but Joe Satriani has great instrumental songs...


Mr. Romance

Concierto de Aranjuez by Joaquín Rodrigo

Surfing With The Alien
Summer Song
Speed of Light
Flying In a Blue Dream
Rubina's Blue Sky Happiness
Cryin'
Those are all Joe Satriani songs with no vocals I think.

I also have to go with "La Vida Strange Pinata"

Tubular Bells - Mike Oldfield
Beethovens 5th and 9th
Shostakovich Jazz Walz 5
Alan Parsons Project - Lucifer
Jean Michel Jarre - Equnoxe 7
Klaus Doldinger - Das Boot Main Theme
Exocet - Demon Seed

Couldnt say just one :upsidedow

Metallica and Slipknot have some pretty good instrumental songs. Just jamming in the studio. Good shit, but I am more a rap fan, so I listen to lots of beats (over 1500 in my library). Also, there is the old batman score, and the spiderman theme was pretty good too. Not sure who the composers were though. The Batman score cd was quite popular back in 1990 or whatever. Good composer.

toss the feathers - The Corrs

I will have to go with Forest and second YYZ

i know there some good ones out there that i can't think of right now but soul sacrifice by satana is some good instrumental shit.

"Two Socks At Play" -- from Dances with Wolves Soundtrack

2hp

The theme from Forrest Gump (at the beginning where the feather is floating around).

And cliche as it is - a lot of the Rocky soundtrack has some fine instrumental tracks (not 'Gonna Fly Now' which has vocals). I always liked the music in the background where Rocky gets up early one morning and makes his run through Philly with the kids joining in towards the end.

Never knew there was an "instumental song" :)

But agree... some great film scores around - including Schindler.

the theme from silent hill
