Maneige - Les Aventures De Saxinette et Clarophone is pretty amazing. Also, I'm not huge on Zappa but The Grand Wazoo is mindblowing. Larks' Tongues in Aspic pt. 1 is fantastic. I think generally the jazz stuff stomps the rock instrumentals into the ground.

I don't really like that list so much. My very favourite instrumental would have to be either something from Mike Oldfield (who was totally absent on the list as far as I saw)... I guess Ommadawn (part 1) would be my first choice (if one counts that one as instrumental, since it does has some vocals on it), but Tubular Bells is also wonderful and should definitley have been on the list (for it's fame). Another great instrumental that is absolutley gorgeous is "Histoires Sans Paroles" from Harmonium... that some really beautiful music.

That's for today
Great choices all, of course. Judas Iscariot is really wonderful, as well as the others, of course. Hamburger Concerto might be my first choice for best instrumental from your choices, though... I might just as well have mentioned it without your reminding me of it. However, strictly speaking it's not an instrumental, since it does have a short vocal section... though it's short enough within such a long song that we might just as well omit that detail, I guess.
