Great instrumentals by pop/rock artists

[SpaceMonkey]

Floyd's "Shine on you Crazy Diamond" is almost entirely instrumental, and is a great track. (there's about two verses of vocals in the entire thing which is almost 30 minutes long over both parts)

 

[LESStar58]

Any of Chris Cheney's guitar solos!

I think you missed the point...

I see you're point but I'm sticking with Chris's guitar solos! 8)

Any of Chris Cheney's guitar solos!

I think you missed the point...

I think he means the song "Closing In".

Oh, well if you want me to get THAT specific I would have to say 'E-boogie' which is entirely instrumental and Chris does his solo holding a beer, usually a Heinekin. This is a photo I took at the Palace last year of Chris doing JUST that...

Pure genius!

Thang II - Johnny Diesel and the Injectors(Awesome blues. A Strat through a Bassman. Classic!!)

Eruption and Spanish Fly - Agreed. Great EVH.

Shambelle - The Police. This is on the B Side of Every Little Thing She does is Magic. Signature Andy Summers licks.

The Attitude Song - Steve Vai

Anything from Satch's 1st and 2nd albums.

Other then the songs already mentioned..

Manhattan & SRV - Eric Johnson
For the Love of God & Crying Machine - Steve Vai
Always with me Always with you & Love Thing - Joe Satriani
Erotomania & Dance of Eternity - Dream Theater
Little Wing - Steve Ray Vaughan's version (which is an instrumental) which is brilliant.

If you've heard all of those songs, you have great taste.
