Top 5 Instrumentals


Reidy1987

Recommended Posts


1. Green Onions - Booker T and the MGs

That used to be THE big number when The Beatstalkers played at the Cove Club in the Palladium Pend!

Eh? What do you mean "who were the Beatstalkers"??

Eh? Eh? What do you mean "what's the Cove Club"?

Eh? Eh? Eh? What do you mean "where's the Palladium Pend"?

Eh? Eh? Eh? Eh? "What do you mean what WAS the Palladium"!!!?

Am I in the right place? This is the senile dementia thread, intit?

Huh- this shows how old you people really are... :)

Tom,

As in listening to New Order it was absolutely bloody Murder :rolleyes:

Santana - Samba Pa Ti

Pink Floyd - Absolutely Curtains

Camel - The Snow Goose

Small Faces - Ogden's Nut Gone Flake

Al Stewart - A Small Fruit Song

Now as you I seldom want to be a pedant, ( B) ) but did a small fruit song not have lyrics which started something like

"Said the apple to the orange"?

Camel- a most fine choice, though from the same era you could have chosen Steve Hacket's "Voyage of the Acolyte."

McB,

"Said the apple to the orange"?

Yup! You're right, the song I meant was "Once an Orange, Always an Orange" which is an instrumental. :oops

I knew it had a fruity title!

Aye though a small fruit song had a wonderful guitar part.

Sure I first heard it on a CBS sampler double album," Fill your head with Rock" circa 1970. Also had great tracks by Taj Mahal and Johnny Winters.

Did a google and found these details.

Sweet memories. :)

As in "Y Viva España" Sylvia? :rolleyes:

Brilliant - Killing Joke

Komakino - Joy Division

Rococco - The Cocteau Twins

Murder - New Order

Jazz the Glass/Vitreous China - Cabaret Voltaire

Tom, is Murder not the New Order track with the shout "Crows! I HATE THEM!!!"? If so I'm sure this constitutes lyrics and therefore doesn't count.

Confused Instrumental is a good one.

Here's somemore:-

1. F.U.B.B. - Wishbone Ash

2. Shut Up & Play Yer Guitar - Frank Zappa

3. Ion - Placebo

4. American Dream - Jakkata

5. Beach Sequence - Passengers

Plus a wee mention for When It Falls by Zero 7.

F*** me!!! Sid a PG fan??? Who woulda thunk it?!

That Peter Gabriel track in the film is renamed Under Lock & Key. The original track, indeed called Wallflower, is absolutely superb and is a very moving piece of work.

Jings oh, Sid has a sensitive side!

As for Simple Minds, they did some good instrumentals in their early stuff; Theme For Great Cities, This Earth That You Walk Upon, Somebody Up There Likes You and Shake Off The Ghosts to name but a few. Which just goes to show what contribution to their music Jim Kerr had.

Oh yeah, smartarse? What does he sing, then? "ooo, I love the Ton"? If it's vocalese then it ain't lyrics, therefore it's an instrumental.
