Happy to see Parsons on there  Alan Parsons seems to be mentioned so little on this site, and I Robot, Tales, and Pyramid are top-notch, fun albums.I won't compile a mega-list, but 1. Articolazioni - Arti 1. La Princesse Perdue - Camel (the perfect summation of themes) 1. Beyond the Bizarre - Finch (timeless piece) |

| 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. |
Posted By: Dellinger
Date Posted: September 04 2015 at 22:17
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. |

Awesome choice! And gutsy! (Yodeling doesn't count as "vocals"??) Shakti's "Mind Ecology" is one that immediately comes to mind for me. Lenny White's "Mating Drive" is incredible. Bassist Doug Rauch, organist Larry Young, Lenny and guitarist Ray Gomez all burning at top speed over the space keyboards of Onaje Allan Gumbs. A lot of Percy Jones or Jaco Pastorius collaborations would satisfy me, as well, like some Brand X, Weather Report, and RTF, too. ------------- Drew Fisher https://progisaliveandwell.blogspot.com/ |

As an instrumental music fan (in spite of all they say about women only liking songs with vocals ), I'd have to mention whole albums instead of single tracks. The original list does not set my world on fire at all, though I appreciate the inclusion of the great Morricone (a huge influence on many prog bands). Anyway, while I think of other tracks to suggest in this thread, here's a personal favourite of mine://www.pinterest.com/pin/create/extension/" rel="nofollow - |

I have seen the "Exorcist" (or introduction for the album, as is called on the 2003 re-recording) edit from the album on some New Age compilation albums, as well as on Oldfield's compilation albums too. There's also the song "Sentinel", from the Tubular Bells 2 album, which is mostly the same song, but with some added vocalisations and other variations. |

Hi, The only concern I have is that classical music can have "pastoral pieces" (as an example), to supposedly describe and further the idea and story of the piece of music, and its concept, and in rock music, jazz and more modern music, this is no longer allowed and in many cases, specially an audience here, it is considered meandering and jamming and wasting space. Here is a short list of albums that have a lot of "instrumental" passages, though some parts of it might have lyrics. Mind you, I have all these, but not many others! Moody Blues -- Days of Future Passed Chicago 1, 2, and 3 -- Lots of instrumental passages that are excellent Amon Duul 2 -- Dance of the Lemmings (some spread out lyrics, but in general, side 3 (MM Sdtk) is phenomenal. Le Orme -- Felona e Serona (some lyrics) Mike Oldfield -- Too many pieces to mention Tangerine Dream -- Alpha Centauri, Atem, Phaedra and any albums with full side suites Nektar -- Recycled (some lyrics), even though it is a concept album meant to go nonstop. The transitions are excellent and side one (specially) flows beautifuuly. Yes -- Tales from Topographic Oceans, probably one of the toughest to define as most folks think the lyrics are meaningless. PF -- Atom Heart Mother Suite PF -- Echoes -- Some lyrics, but I find them intentionally evasive Kraan -- the Live album has 2 full sides of instrumentals Focus -- Eruption from III and a couple of other pieces like Hamburger Concerto Camel -- Snow Goose Allman Brothers -- Eat a Peach ELP -- Karn Evil #9 (The whole piece) Magma -- Khontarkhoz ... and many other pieces Jean Michel Jarre -- Oxygene, and a couple of other albums as well Vangelis -- More than one album with full sides and then some Djam Karet -- The Trip ... and No commercial Potential Grateful Dead -- although not in regular albums but found in many bootlegs ... side long pieces for the band that probably invented the free form jams! Most had no lyrics. Keith Jarrett -- probably too classical for this story here, but use the Koln concert as an example ... Jan Garbarek -- The piece written by Keith for Jan Terje Rypdal -- Several classical compositions, but "Odyssey" (the album) has at least several long pieces. Ange -- Ego et Deus (with some lyrics) in the album Emile Jacotey Alan Stivell -- Symphonie Celtique Aphrodite's Child -- 666 (some lyrics) ... (I'll edit and add as time permits) ------------- Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told! www.pedrosena.com |

^Yep, as usual a shortage of ELP love. I would add to your list: Three Fates, Abaddon's Bolero, Tank (Works Volume 1 version). Ritt Mickley - named after Patrick Moraz tried to tell Lee Jackson and Brian Davision that the piece should be played "rhythmically". Speaking of Refugee, Papillon is another good one, and also: Pilgrim's Progress/Catalan/Chalkhill - Greenslade Forever and Ever - Dave Greenslade Bring Out Your Dead/Valentyne Suite - Colosseum The Pilgrim/Alone/Lullabye/Handy - Wishbone Ash Sylvia/Focus II/Birth/La Cathedrale de Strasbourg/House of the King - Focus King Henry's Madrigal/Bouree - Jethro Tull Fibonacci's Number - If Probably plenty of others I've forgotten. All those Camel ones on the list and no mention of my favourite Rhayader. From the ones that are on the list I'd go for Trio - Ennio Morricone, Spectral Mornings - Steve Hackett, One of These days/Great Gig in the Sky - Pink Floyd. ------------- "And now...on the drums...Mick Underwooooooooood!!!"
