James Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 Glen Frey (Eagles) wrote a beautiful little 1.5 minute instrumental for the new album called "I Dreamed There Was No War"..It's overplayed, but the 2nd half of Layla really is a song unto itself...and a about as good as music gets.

pierre Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 Pretty much anything by Danny Gatton, on the 88 Elmira Street album. Interesting takes on "In My Room" and the Theme from the Simpsons.Whole Lotta Love, by C.C.S. Now that was a cool cover version...and it even became a hit, I believe.Defining an instrumental as a track without vocals, I also nominate "Nutopian International Anthem" from John Lennon's Mind Games LP. Since he had nothing much to say by this point, the silence was appreciated. (Not entirely true, "Out the Blue" was a good song from that album).
