Your favorite instrumental song

[Hader]

Not hard, post your favorite instrumental song (no lyrics!).

Orion by Metallica is one of my favorites, but lately Ratatat has been on top of my list. Loud Pipes is great.


I ask just because I am just much more fond of pure instrumental music than anything with lyrics. I do not hate the latter, but instrumentals I just always find more...soothing, awesome, etc. I don't know why.

 

[King Crab]

I've got a few, but my top couple have to be:

 

[bl4ckh4wk64]

Definitely this:


Such a relaxing song.

 

[Jazzyjazz2323]

Little Wing-Stevie Ray Vaughan or Carpe Diem-Andy Timmons.

 

[SoulIsTheGoal]

Cliche perhaps, but, For the Love of God by Steve Vai is one of my favourite pieces of instrumental music (Orion is an awesome piece of music too).

I also quite like Maggot Brain by Funkadelic (I'd call it an instrumental, there's a spoken word intro but, y'know)

Hunh.... I dont htink I ever listened to a purely instrumental song.

Wait... no, check that, I have.

It was a Bluegrass version of Kenny Chesney's No Shoes, No Shirt, No Problems So that is mine. Sorry, odnt have a vid/audio.

 

[Kimarous]

This, this, this, this.

 

[Hader]

Here is another one I really like. Not purely instrumental if you count the lady chanting and all, but the middle section is epic.

Definitely this:


Such a relaxing song.

I thought Mass Effect right away...

 

[SnootyEnglishman]

At this current moment it's just about every song from The Black Mages

 

[oooooooooooooooooooooooooo]

Haunting, and just the right length

 

[Krion_Vark]

P.O.D.

This song and I have a history together, seeing as I've been hearing it a long, long time. My father and his friends would play this in their big band... The solos were amazing XD


Sadly, this is the only vid I could find on short notice. This isn't the Bob Moyer Big Band :/

If I can't go with piano pieces or symphonies, then my favourite instrumental band shall do nicely:

 

[JohanGasMask]

This song keeps me up at night.

 

[Midnight Crossroads]

Easily "Awe" by Citizen Cope.

 

[IckleMissMayhem]

and this reminds me of my friend, plus (admittedly, when listening to a better quality recording, sends shivers through me...) also,

 

[RhombusHatesYou]

If I can't go with piano pieces or symphonies, then my favourite instrumental band shall do nicely:

Bugger.. well, seeing as you've taken Pelican, I'll go with Red Sparowes

CAUTION: SLIDE GUITAR AWESOMENESS

 

[Julianking93]

Bugger.. well, seeing as you've taken Pelican, I'll go with Red Sparowes

Holy shit. Someone else who likes Red Sparowes and Pelican. ^-^
Here I was thinking I was the only one... at least on this site :3

 

[Polaris19]

Ash's Sky Burial - I really just love the feel of this song. Especially after the halfway mark.
