Here's a list of "classic" instrumental albums.

This should make for a pretty interesting competition.

Enjoy

Peace

BebieM,

You're right, once again I flub something up.

"Moon in June" does indeed contain singing by Rob Wyatt.

Well, i guess exclude THIRD then.

TUBULAR BELLS does contain choral work and such, but that's suitable.

Thanks

My vote goes for Tubular Bells, but deep in my heart, my favourite instrumental album is still LTE 1

I think Phaedra by Tangerine Dream is really good.

GREAT list Billyshears, Hamburger Concerto, Epilog and Tubular Bells are among my favorites, it's hard to vote for one of the three (even when I decided to go with Epilog).

But I believe Six Wives of Hery the VIII deserves to be here, I know Wakeman released a lot of New Age albums but his first 5 or 6 are real masterpieces.

and Happy The Man's Crafty Hands albums were included.

Inner mounting flamme

But Third and Hamburger concerto have vocals, so does Tubular Bells and Snow Goose but those last two are nit-picking one my part.

would Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennaes To Heaven technically be instrumental?
