    Question Best INSTRUMENTALs ??

    .
    ie: no vocals

    so I was listening to the SURF channel on Pandora last night and PIPELINE by The Chantays comes on and I like it so much that it seemed a good basis for a new thread (since we've done ALBUMS, SONGS, COUNTRY etc) ...many times I pick up great recommendations in these discussions.

    but then I remembered that LVB's "Ode to Joy" is incredible too, but Oh Oh , it has choral ...but the 5th is nearly as good.

    Oh and then there is Gershwin's RHAPSODY IN BLUE , that has to be there too.

    So until my memory gets jogged a little, wud have to call those my candidates for BEST 3

    What are your entries in this category ???

    i've been listening to a lot of cajun music lately...

    and one of the players that i enjoy immensely is Octa Clark,
    most of his more famous songs are instrumentals...

    Of course, there's a WIKI page for the Rock side

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instrumental_rock


    first in stereo ??

    "the guitar was most prominent. Duane Eddy scored several hits (his best known probably being "Rebel 'Rouser"). Eddy was the first rock & roll artist to release an album in stereo."


    here's linx to other sites on this topic:

    http://tunecaster.com/charts/music/i...al-top-10.html
    http://www.jeffosretromusic.com/instrumentals.html

    oh, can't forget Link Wray, and His Ray Men "Jack the Ripper"
