(Unsensible Survey) Greatest Instrumentals?

well,

5. Interstellar Overdrive

4. Careful W/T Axe Eugene

3. 9th Symphony (Beethoven)

2. Atom Heart Mother

1. Saucerful of Secrets

La Villa Strangiato By Rush by far, a real masterpiece in instrumentation.

Somehow I knew GeddyJunior would choose that one. :smile: Here's some of my favourites:

-"Ogden's Nut Gone Flake" Small Faces
-"Wring That Neck" Deep Purple
-"And The Address" Deep Purple
Above are nothing great, but lots of emotion IMO
-"April" Deep Purple
-"The Barbarian" ELP
-Numerous pieces by King Crimson

As far as albums go, I'd go with Rick Wakeman's "The Six Wives of Henry VIII"

I'm just a worthless Floyd freak.

perfect lusk, is that a good thing or a bad thing?

by the way the 6 wives of Henry of the 8th is a great album indeed.

A good thing. :smile:

Beethoven's 9th isn't an instrumental.

Big Swifty-FZ

Obscured by Clouds/When You're In

WOW! You are so right. I don't believe I missed that one. Alright, just shoot me now.

you guys arent thinking properly, the best ones are these,

one of these days
the great gig in the sky
saucerful of secrets
signs of life
moby dick (led zepplin)
any colour you like
Pow r Toc H
intersteller overdrive
on the run

i know it seems lieka pretty one eyed list but pink floyd knew how to write instrumentals and there is no denying it, unless you do deny it, but that is pointless, oh my......

Signs of Life???

The Great Gig in he sky is Not an Instrumental.

and How about symphonies 35-41 by Mozart, and the 4 Seasons By Vivaldi?

Or maybe "Summertime", if we go to the
Jazz n'Blues Section?

And Don't Forget "Atom Heart Mother Suite"!
