Your Favourite Instrumental Regardless Of Genre

The friendliest place on the web for anyone that follows U2.
If you have answers, please help by responding to the unanswered posts.
all the pathetique movements are quite grand to put it mildly.

but classical music is too easy for this thread, so i'll stick with pop music.

residential love song - kc accidental

meeting in the aisle - radiohead

feel good lost - broken social scene (minimalist BEAUTY)

i am citizen insane - radiohead
 
the beastie boys ill communication has alot of cool instrumentals.
that I highly recommend...

i like the instrumental version of im not your baby by u2
too
 
I like the theme from Requiem for a Dream, by Clint Mansell and the Kronos Quartet (I like the whole score, actually, but since most of it is based around the main theme then i'll stick with that).

Also, all of the 'Carnival of the Animals' movements by Saint-Saens - especially Aquarium.
 
mogwai - '2 rights make 1 wrong' and 'yes! i am a long way from home'.

i really love 'top gun anthem', too.
i'm not even kidding about that!

Excluding classical music...

A four-way tie between 'Anesthesia(Pulling Teeth)', 'The Call Of The Khutlu', 'Orien', and 'To Live Is To Die', all by Metallica.

Followed as closely as possible by Led Zeppelin's 'Bron-Yr-Aur' and Pink Floyd's 'Shine On You Crazy Diamond'(if that counts as an instrumental).
 
I love PF's "One of These Days"...they've got an amazing knack for creating original soundscapes. Another instrumental I really like is Pearl Jam's "Brother."

Aside from the "rock" instrumentals, I'm a big fan of the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra's work with Stanley Kubrick on "2001: A Space Odyssey." I also love other Kubrick-inspired material like "A Clockwork Orange," which features digitized elements of Beethoven's Ninth Symphony and other spacey stuff like "Timesteps," which very much reminds me of Radiohead.
