I for the most part don’t.

Because I've never hated them, I voted that I do like them, but I do love music with lyrics more.

God bless you always!!!

P.S. To me, what is good about them is that they give the instrument players the opportunity to show their talents. :) :) :)

Of Course I enjoyed them. Instrumental music is more easy to hear with.

I do and if we're talking about TV theme songs then I generally prefer Instrumental themes over themes with vocals.

I enjoy both.
Mostly, the instrumental music I like to listen to is electronic. There was an electronic instrumental cd that was so mesmerizing to me that I wrote the idea for a movie around it, so it definitely can send my mind soaring.
I have heard that said about classical music, but I never really got into classical music, though I do love Moonlight Sonata by Beethoven.

I really like "Simply beautiful" music :)

Oh yes, Hocus , Pocus is a really cool instrumental! ;) Two others that come to mind are the surfer song " Wipe out " and a late 50's, early 60's ? tune " Sleep walk " by Johnny & Santo ! :)

My favorite instrumental hits from the 1970's:

Joy- Apollo 100
Outa Space- Billy Preston
Popcorn- Hot Butter
Frankenstein- Edgar Winter Group
Love's Theme- Love Unlimited Orchestra
The Sound Of Philadelphia- MFSB
The Entertainer- Marvin Hamlisch
Pick Up The Pieces- Average White Band
The Hustle- Van McCoy
Fly Robin Fly- Silver Convention
A Fifth Of Beethoven- Walter Murphy
Theme From SWAT- Rhythm Heritage
Feels So Good- Chuck Mangione

I also have a few CD's with instrumental hits from the 1950's and 60's but I haven't listened to those in a while. A big favorite of mine is Theme For Young Lovers by the Percy Faith Orchestra, it was a Billboard hit in 1960, it's a beautiful tune.

One I do like is the theme to the Halloween movies. It’s always fun to imagine I’m about to be brutally murdered.

Once, I was in Target's Parking Lot on Halloween and there was a man slowly circling the lot as he blasted the Halloween Theme. I got the heck out of there. :lol:

Oh yes, Hocus , Pocus is a really cool instrumental! ;)

That’s a perfect example of one that would have me yelling “Sing already!”. And then what do I get? Yodels.

And not the good kind :(

That’s cute if it’s a well lit crowded parking lot.

Less cute if it’s dark and deserted :eek:

Do you remember Paul Mauriat's hit Love Is Blue? That was a popular instrumental hit in the 70's and Nancy Wilson sang a version with lyrics too. Another instrumental hit was Last Date by Floyd Cramer and it's a great song and is nice enough to slow dance to
Bestie

Yes. Love is Blue is a nice tune.

Another popular one from back in that era was Theme fromSting by Marvin Hammlisch.

I've always liked instrumentals AND vocals.

I'm still anti-instrumental, but this is strangely addicting

Love instrumentals mainly because of film soundtracks, Goblin is an excellent band that scored several Italian horror films.

Camel is a rock band were mainly instrumental, their album The Snow Goose is really good.

Also enjoy a lot of Pink Floyd's early music that featured mostly instrumental songs.

The comment on there is right--it'd make a good fire alarm. Accompanied by the standard strobe lights.
