Was just listening to Peaches en Regalia by Frank Zappa (who has a piece being performed on Radio 3 at about ten tonight btw) and it blew me away again. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pKlAIhuXRLE What are you favourite pieces of instrumental music?
Many to mention, but this is a beauty [video=youtube;YvapiBPf0PM]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YvapiBPf0PM[/video]
Green Onions: Booker T Swamp Song: Oasis Gouryella: Gouryella (loads of trance tracks great instrumentals)
Always loved "Anwar's Theme" by Buck Dharma (Blue Oyster Cult) - Sadat's assassination set to music! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FSloOuVzZns
i don't think classical or ambient music should count in this. they're kinda all instrumental really. i'm thinking an 'instrumental' should be from someone who would normally actually sing. we need rules here dude!
