Top Ten Best Rock Instrumentals

The Top Ten
1 Eruption - Van Halen

While technically not an instrumental ('bout 90%), howz about
In-A-Gadda-the-Vida?

How about Beck's Bolero?

2 Jessica - The Allman Brothers

Glad to see this up towards the top. It's always been one of my favorite instrumental songs.

3 Europa - Carlos Santana
4 Cliffs of Dover - Eric Johnson
5 Moby Dick - Led Zeppelin

Overly long, barely mediocre and totally unnecessary drum solo.
Bonzo was an excellent drummer, though generally overrated.
This cut falls into the category of, "What were you thinking? "

6 YYZ - Rush
7 Lenny - Stevie Ray Vaughan
8 Frankenstein - Edgar Winter
9 Technical Difficulties - Racer X
10 Black Star - Yngwie Malmsteen
The Contenders
11 Marooned - Pink Floyd
12 Classical Gas - Mason Williams
13 La Villa Strangiato - Rush
14 Orion - Metallica
15 Night Of Krampus - Mutus Mortem
16 Little Wing - Stevie Ray Vaughan
17 Help Me I Am In Hell - Nine Inch Nails
18 Pipeline - The Ventures
19 Hawaii Five-O - The Ventures
20 Machine Gun - Jimi Hendrix

There is some audience cheering and Hedrix thanking the crowd at the very end of the 12-minute Band of Gypsies version, but its still an instrumental, and one that should Eddie Van Halen bow his head in honor of the greatest.

If memory serves, this is not an instrumental.

21 Rock and Roll Part 2 - Gary Glitter
22 Miserlou - Dick Dale & The Del - Tones

Better known as the theme to the movie Pulp Fiction.

23 Fire on High - Electric Light Orchestra
24 Sirius - The Alan Parsons Project
25 Maggot Brain - Funkadelic
