Best Instrumental Song Ever?


Da Pirates

Recommended Posts

As the title says.

 

 

 

Personally I would have to say Van Halen's Eruption

 

 

 

 

 

What do you guys think?

 

 

 

 

 

Oh and in case you don't already know, Instrumental songs don't use vocals.

I know a ton of instrumental songs I really like. However, my favorite instrumental song is "Sail on Soothsayer (In Memory of Aunt Suzie 1932-2007)" by Buckethead. It's just so incredibly emotional...Everyone should hear it IMO.

 

 

 

[hide=List of other Good Instrumentals]Rush - YYZ

 

Dream Theater - The Dance of Eternity

 

Godspeed You! Black Emperor - Lift Your Skinny Fists to the Sky like Antennas to Heaven (album)

 

Joe Satriani - Surfing with the Alien

 

Liquid Tension Experiment - Acid rain, Paradigm Shift

 

Yngwie Malmsteen - Caprici Di Diablo

 

Buckethead - Decoding the Tomb of Bansheebot (album)[/hide]

Voice of the Soul by Death comes immediately to mind. It's just so full of emotion and really shows the talent that Chuck Schuldiner had as a guitarist and composer. In fact, I wouldn't discount Cosmic Sea either (another Death instrumental).

 

 

 

As far as instrumental albums goes, I really like Machinations of Dementia by Blotted Science. Stunning instrumentation.

best, best. I don't know. I really like the gumbo variations by Zappa. But that's just jazz/fusion. There's so many other types of instrumental music and all of them have got so many good things that it is imposible to say which one is 'the best'.

It's hard to say, really. I assume we're not including classical pieces. Even if that is the case, I'd still suggest Difficult to Cure by Rainbow, which is a version of Ode to Joy from Beethoven's 9th, and Fanfare for the Common Man by Emerson, Lake & Palmer, which is based on the Copland piece of the same name.

 

 

 

Apart from those, I really enjoy Ocean by the John Butler Trio, and of course

by Erik Mongrain.

Not trying to brag, but I've seen him play it live, and it is quite a piece of music. :) He really is excellent live if you ever get the chance to see him.

Definitely Killer's "Ad Tempus Vitate". And while it's not strictly instrumental, I've always really liked Deep Purple's "April" (it's a 12 min song, and there's only a bit of singing in the last minute). Gary Moore's cover of Roy Buchanan's "The Messiah Will Come Again" is great as well.

Metallica's Call of the Ktulu and Orion are both great. Sometimes I get lost in them. 8-)

 

 

 

This. Eric Johnson's Cliffs of dover is great too.

Death's instrumental songs are the best of the best. Trully a great band. As for my favorite (apart from Cosmic Sea) it would have to be Inquisiton Symphony by Sepultura. Their first song I ever heard ;)

Interstellar Overdrive is also a favorite of mine, just as the national anthem by radiohead.

Probably something that's trance for me, hard to choose really as they're all really good :)
