Best you've heard will also do. That's the beauty of Ranker, if you hear better you can re-rank!!!

Added!

I really can't believe that out of 286 listed instrumentals and 1,024 votes that Camel have 13 songs in the top 55! What a testament to their musical brilliance.

Take me down, to the underground
Won't you take me down, to the underground
Why oh why, there is no light
And if I can't sleep, can you hold my life
