Favorite Instrumental Songs

[Genghis Khant]

Not bad, the tune is good enough to stand without the lyrics, but I much prefer the original version.

Just thought of this extremely obscure one: you need decent speakers to listen to this. SOmething I don't have on my laptop, so you'll enjoy this more than I just did...

This is awesome, I've never heard it before. It reminds me of the Battered Ornaments.

House

this is pretty good.

i don't know how to describe this

i leave it at this

This shit ain't music, yo.

Also, you're severely limiting yourself if you don't listen to lyrical music because it's too conformist for you or whatever. Mr. Otis Redding has more instrumental music in one lyrical line from one of his songs than all of shitty Deadmau5's "music."

Mr. Sam Cooke, with and without the Soul Stirrers, played a velvety smooth vocal instrument. Deadmau5 types shit in to a computer.

Also:

lol. Decrying lyrical music because the lyricist is trying to convey a message or portray a feeling while supporting symphonic music is kinda silly. Pretty much all music, regardless of whether somebody is singing or not, is meant to evoke some emotion or convey a message.

HEY GUYS I DON'T LISTEN TO BEETHOVEN'S NINTH BECAUSE IT'S GOT VOCALS IN THE FOURTH MOVEMENT AND HE'S TRYING TO FORCE HIS JOYOUS ADVICE UPON ME.

did i rustle your jimmies? i listen to all kinds of music. i just thought it was weird that a thread for "instrumental" songs popped up, because that encompasses the majority of music.

and why didn't you post any music? something tells me you're afraid of being judged for whatever shitty music you listen to... probably almost all of it is the same (lyrical) genre, which would explain why you don't understand deadmau5.

[TeeGee]

Anyone remember the 1980s video game Gyruss??

it was my favourite.. and this is the actual music from the game

[whitestazn88]

This band puts out some pretty good post-rock. This is the first track on their most recent album

[TA1LGUNN3R]

did i rustle your jimmies?

Yeah, sorry, that came out a bit harsher than I intended. When it comes to music I tend to speak before considering what I'm saying, unfortunately. I just really hate deadmau5 and his ilk.

[crispybits]

Just for a bit of genre mixing - can't believe nobody posted it yet!

[notyou2]

No instrumental list would be complete without this original.

[notyou2]

Or this one

[notyou2]

Something a little more recent

Lastly one of my favourite songs, by one of my favourite bands, but this is an instrumental version

[daddy1gringo]

[jonesthecurl]

I was gonna talk a bit about this next one, but I just listened to it, and I'm still in awe all over again.
Just give it a bloody listen.

this is what i would image playing space invaders on cocaine would be like.

i hate to make another SRV reference, but there was a period of my life where that's all i listened to.
this is in reference to the "wipe out". it made me think of this

Damn. sussed.

[2dimes]

This version of Wipeout?

[betiko]

this is probably my favorite metallica tune and it s instrumental. I love everything it goes through in 8 mins.

[daddy1gringo]

I used to listen to a lot of Windham Hill "New age" music. Here are a couple of standouts.

[thegreekdog]

I thought this one might be the most popular rock instrumental ever.

[notyou2]

Loved this since I first heard it over 30 years ago.

[notyou2]

This version of Wipeout?

I saw Dweezil a couple of years ago, and Frank a few decades ago.

[2dimes]

I never really got Frank. I have at least 2 Dweezil CDs.

[notyou2]

Dweezil live was fucking incredible.

Frank is definitely an acquired taste but have been listening to him since he put out Joe's Garage.

[rdsrds2120]

This is always fun to listen to:



BMO

[notyou2]

Look at his discography, he was incredibly prolific. When I saw him live he did a vicious Whipping Post.
