Might as well milk this sucker for all its worth ! My choice for Best Rock Instrumental is: Michael Schenker Group - Captain Nemo
Walk Don't Run by the Ventures. Here is what Joe Walsh said in response to a question about the greatest guitar solos in guitar history — Dale PS don't forget Wipe Out -- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T8__EwAT8VM PPS or Pipeline -- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A1JsmiOhRHg&feature=related PPPS or better yet: SRV and Dick Dale -- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GWw55XhTehg&feature=related PPPPs or WTH: Dick Dale Misirlou -- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZIU0RMV_II8&feature=related
eric johnson "cliffs of dover" is one, jeff beck "cause we've ended as lovers" there are just too many to really list
"Fire on High," ELO. "Home Bound," Motor City Madman (Ted Nugent). Most of the Ventures, Surfaris, and Dick Dale all GREAT stuff.
Beck (with Clapton!) 'Cause We've Ended as Lovers http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ATu5ZVUO0KI For "pop" instrumental, I never get sick of Paul Mauriat's Love is Blue http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p9FYD1dlw4E
Absolutely! Another good one is the Intro to 'Sweet Jane' on Lou Reed's live 'Rock 'n Roll Animal' LP.
I've always liked 'Popcorn' by the band 'Hot Butter'. One hit wonder!! There's a techno version out that's pretty good.
