Best instrumental of all time - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

ThirteenInchEscape · 09-03-2004, 01:19 PM

I'm not a big fan of instrumentals, since I have trouble identifying tones and beats well (maybe that is why I like NIN so much, because I can hear everything well)

At any rate, my favorite instrumental of all time is Just Like You Imagined by Nine Inch Nails, without contest imo

et toi?

Way too many great pieces to mention. My 2 favorites however are:
Summer Madness by Kool & The Gang
&
Rain Forest by Paul Hardcastle
Both are considered funk-jazz classics & have been staples on both R&B & Jazz radio stations for years.

"eternal" by evanescence and "to live is to die" by metallica.

I know this will give you all a big laugh, but my favorite intrumental of all time is actually the theme to the film Chariots Of Fire. The reason behind this is that song was huge when I was in Kindergarden and in late May when we had Field Day there was a race between all the girls and boys in both A.M. classes and the gym teacher played the theme to Chariots of Fire on a ghetto blaster. I won the race!

I love Classical Gas! I do have a question about Love is Blue though, my Mom swears that Love is Blue does actually have words but they are just rarely played. Has anyone else heard of words for Love is Blue? One of my favorites is Taste of Honey by Herb Albert and the Tijuana Brass.

Keeping it isolated to rock:

Root Beer Rag - Billy Joel
Pet Sounds - The Beach Boys
The Nearest Faraway Place - The Beach Boys
Flying - The Beatles
Kreen -- Akrore - Paul McCartney

Dutabi84 · 09-04-2004, 01:37 AM

Oh yeah.."Smoothie Song" by Nickel Creek is a great one.

Green Onions -- Music doesn't get more perfectly simple than that.

Wipeout is pretty good, also.
