I love instrumentals so I have a lot of these! I'll just post what comes to mind:

1. Shawn Lane - Time is the Enemy
2. Kansas - Magnum Opus I.II.III.IV.V.VI.(It's a long song with many parts!)
3. Mahavishnu Orchestra - Vision is a Naked Sword
4. Focus - Hocus Pocus
5. Tribal Tech - Ominous

number 3

Beethoven's moonlight sonata 3rd movement

Same here man, It's just what comes to mind. Kansas Magnum Opus is a favorite of mine also but I only thought of it while reading your post. There are too many to recall.

This is from my hero. freddy chopin

I just realized how hard it is to remember the names of instrumental songs, theses are just some that stick out in my mind.

number 5

@Moshzilla,

Yeah, most of what I listen to is fusion and its all instrumental. Also, classical music is almost all instrumental. Maybe the thread should be top 5 instrumentals from non-instrumental artists? Lol

Speaking of non-instrumental artists: Barry White - Love's Theme
I know its cheesy but I love that song!

@ macandkanda.... i dont mean to sound sarcastic but how does someone do an instrumental piece without being a instrumental artist? Do you mean like an artist who rarely does instrumentals?

In no particular order

Hocus Pocus - Focus (Kings of the instrumentals IMO)
Glasgow Kiss - John Petrucci
Transylvania - Iron Maiden
Marooned - David Gilmour
Steve Vai - For the Love of God

Honorably Mentions:
Kiss My Axe - Al di Meola
Nottingham Lace - Buckethead
Night of the Slunk - Buckethead
No Boundaries - Michael Angelo Batio

and there is probably more I can't think of right now.

@nullnaught,

Yeah, like Metallica wouldnt be considered an instrumental band because 99% of their songs have singing. But then there's instrumental songs (without singing) like The Call of Ktulu and Orion. Which by the way are epic.

yeah call of ktulu and orion are my top 2.
then meeting of spirits by mahavishnu orchestra, mediteranean sundance by al di meola and paco de lucia, and high on fire by elo

@ macandkanda ----like this tune.



or even this lovely tune

This is so cool.





Another lovely tune.



opps. thats more than 5.

sorry i meant fire on high by elictric light orchestra not high on fire. i listen to too much metal lol

END OF TEH THREAD!!!11!!1
