Dunno about you guys but I am very eclectic with music.

What do you guys rekon is the best instrumental.

My picks would be in this order
1) Tchaikovsky "1812th Overture" (the piece with the big guns in it)
2) Vangelis "Conquest of Paradise" (Crusaders theme piece)
3) Mike Oldfield "Tubular Bells pt 1&2" (who does not know who Mike Oldfield is?)

Music to my ear is the exhaust note of a well tuned big bike or V8 working hard on a twisty section of road echoing of the nearby hills....

Mike Oldfield rocks! I had a fourth form music teacher who was besotted with him so we studied him lots! He is very talented.

Albatross by the original Fleetwood Mac is cool
Green Onions by Booker T and the MG's

And I have an amazing CD of the Doors played by Nigel kennedy and some orchestra somewhere

Vangelis did a piece called Heaven and Hell that I really liked.
For something really upbeat, try Moonshine Sonata by Black Oak Arkansas.

Mozart's Requiem.
Valvaldi's Winter.

My main choice of instrumental music is soundtrack scores from films, some of my favs being:

Last Samurai, Gladiator, Jurassic Park, The Good, the bad and the ugly, Titanic, Das boot, Star Wars (all 6), The Rock, Pearl harbour, Enemy at the gates.

Have more, can't remember; lost count lol

Also own all 9 Beethoven Symphonies on Vinyl, cost me $4 !

Edit: I also like Blade runner by Vangelis
