Favorite Instrumental Works, page 1

I recently heard a song I have not heard in years, Feels So Good, by Chuck Mangione and it got me thinking about instrumentalist songs. Mt first appreciation for a song that was instrumental and got radio play on rock stations was Satriani's Surfing With The Alien. Of course there was YYZ, but I think Satriani did one of the first all instrument albums that got a lot of play.
Anyway, what are some of your most memorable instrumentals?
Chuck Mangione - Fells So Good

Herbie Hancock
Chameleon

Joe Satriani - Surfing With The Alien

Rush - YYZ

Axel F

SRV Rivera Paradiso

A real classic billy, I still have my Randy Rhodes posters from my teen days. I was really down tripping when he passed. Can you imagine the heights he would have obtained? Not to say he didn't already, and his style and works have that timeless quality, still formidable and awe-inspiring to this day! RIP Randy

Pretty cool iunlimited491, although I'm not a big fan of electric beats, I must say that was a nice friggin' mix man!
And it still had some soul to it for sure.

Thanks for the addition,

Nice additions musicjunkie, love the Faith No More, and Frankenstein, whoa, that song tripped me out as a young'un, especially the duel drum solo! How can one not jam out to that one?

Thanks,

Stanley Clarke and Narada Michael Walden? How old are you man? But seriously Stanley Clarke is one of my all-time fav cats and yes, this song is avant guard, imo.

Glad you dig it. If you want more there's some u2b of The Jeff Beck Group from the '70s with Bon Tench on vocals,Cozy Powell on drums and Clive Chaman on Bass doing a live studio date.

Check out Definitely Maybe,Got the Feeling and Tonight I'll Be Staying Here With You.

Timeless.

Oops,forgot Max Middleton on keys.
