Maybe it is just me. Actually, it probably is just me, but I tend to listen to instrumental only albums as a whole entity and really can't distinguish one instrumental from another by title. If I were to hear it on the radio hahahahahaha I might recognize immediately who the band is, but I'd probably have no idea what the song title was or maybe even which album it is from. Whereas, if the instrumental is included as part of an album with vocals, there is a better chance that I will know the song title and album. Maybe this a Rush-centric thing for me, where I immediately recognize YYZ or La Villa Strangiato, or just a classic radio history where I recognize Wipeout,
1. Rush - YYZ 2. Rush - La Villa Strangiato 3. Dream Theater - Ytse Jam 4. Van Halen - Eruption 5. Steve Howe - The Clap 6. The Sufaris - Wipeout 7. Johnny Winter - Frankenstein 8. 9. Metallica - The Call of Ktulu 10. Led Zeppelin - Moby Dick Or something like that. I am curious to see other people's lists. I suspect that there will be a number of Genesis and King Crimson instrumentals included that I left off of my list. A few of them would probably make my list except that I don't know them by name, so that precludes them from doing so. Damn. Have to think if I can think of a tenth instrumental I even know by name. Oh well. Guess I'll replace it with another Rush song. Changed to Jessica from the Allman Brothers. Although thinking Frank Zappa's Peaches en Regalia might be a good choice too.

1. Rush - La Villa Strangiato
2. Edgar Winter - Frankenstein 3. Metallica - Orion 4. Led Zeppelin - Moby Dick 5. Beardfish - Akabotu (may not be able to pronounce it correctly though ) 6. Death - Voice of the Soul 7. Devin Townsend - Down and Under (has vocals and what sound like words, but lyric websites list it as instrumental) 8. Gorguts - Sweet SIlence 9. Intronaut - The Reptilian Brain 10. Jethro Tull - Warm Sporran I experience the same thing with bands that solely write instrumentals and bands with permanent vocalists--I can name every Rush instrumental including O'Malley's Break, but play a random Animals as Leaders song for me and there's about a 1 in 9 chance I'd get it right. Also I completely forgot to think of King Crimson instrumentals! I'll leave it to someone else.

Wait a minute. Funk #49 isn't an instrumental. What song are you thinking of?

Oh yer right. Duh!!! Not sure why I was thinking that was an instrumental. Could be the Funk that I'm in.

Ah well, it happens :)
Rush YYZ and La Villa Strangiato would definitely be at or near the top of my list, but I'm having trouble thinking of others. |

Î'm not a RUSH fan, but I'm curious about the omission of Xanadu (used to be my fave from them) and The Camera Eye, although there are also vocals in these tracks.

Yeah I understand that tracks are not instrumental as a whole, I reminded them when read your mention of La Villa Strangiato, which features some Lee's kinda "yellings" & "jingles"(don't find the right word for that). |

Rather than a top 10, I had too many, so I went ahead and listed all of my favorites that are instantly recognizable. Not everything here is prog, but that's not what you asked for.
The Alan Parsons Project - I Robot Allman Brothers Band - Jessica Camel - Supertwister, Aristillus Dream Theater - Ytse Jam, Stream of Consciousness ELO - Fire on High ELP - The Barbarian, Fanfare for the Common Man Eric Johnson - Cliffs of Dover Focus - Sylvia Frank Zappa - Peaches En Regalia Genesis - Horizons, After the Ordeal King Crimson - Larks' Tongues in Aspic - Part II, Red Led Zeppelin - Moby Dick Metallica - The Call of Ktulu, Orion Mike Oldfield - Tubular Bells Miles Davis - So What Pink Floyd - One of These Days, The Great Gig in the Sky Rush - La Villa Strangiato, YYZ Traffic - Glad Van Halen - Eruption Both Rush ones that I listed as well as Jessica by the Allman Bros are easily my favorites from this list. There are other Zappa songs I like better, but Peaches is the on that I remember the name without trouble. Same with Miles Davis, 'So What' is so easy to pick out, but I don't really recall many other names. As for Metallica, those are probably my favorites songs of theirs since there isn't any vocals. |

4. Black Sabbath - "Orchid"
5. Black Sabbath - "Laguna Sunrise"
6. Led Zeppelin - "Bron-Yr-Aur" (although I've probably been pronouncing it wrong..."Brawn Yar!!"
7. Iron Maiden - "Genghis Khan"
8. Venom - "Mayhem With Mercy"
9. Mercyful Fate - "To One Far Away"
10. Mason Williams - "Classical Gas" (I only remember this guy's name because his first name is Nick's last name)
