Great Instrumentals

[UberBeaver]

What are your favorite instrumentals?

Bron-Y-Aur by Led Zeppelin.

 

[Lancemc]

Not a fan of rock instrumentals.

Quadrophenia and The Rock by The Who are pretty cool though.

 

[yertle-the-turtle]

Jazz, classical and electronica is where it's at for cool instrumentals, but I'm assuming you mean rock instrumentals, which means...

Lord knows.

 

[cdisantis83]

Quadrophenia and The Rock by The Who are pretty cool though.

Excellent choices! I would add Marooned by Pink Floyd, and Sweet July by Richard Wright, the latter off of his little known but brilliant album Broken China.

 

[cdisantis83]

Bron-Y-Aur by Led Zeppelin.

My apologies for the double-post. If you like Bron-Yr-Aur, you should really check out John Paul Jones's two solo albums, which contain several instrumental gems.

 

[Jack In The Box]

anything under the label "post-rock"

 

[I'm Ready]

Not a fan of rock instrumentals.

Quadrophenia and The Rock by The Who are pretty cool though.
