Well, we can't really sing karaoke with these, since they have more or less no lyrics but we can still share our favorites, right?
So, I'll start with "Chariots of Fire" by Vangelis. Very beautiful piece of musical art. I've never seen the movie it was made for BTW but I know the scene were it's played and I have to day it fits perfectly. _________________ Tygon Panthera - name and species

One of the more interesting, and certainly enjoyable to listen to, collections I've picked up over the years is a "History of Rock Instrumentals". Then again, I've also got a nice collection of Appalachian "mountain" music, and Celtic and Scottish instrumental music and, yes, I love the 'pipes. _________________ "But the wildest of all the wild animals was the Cateagle.

"An Elephant in the Delta Waves" by the band Dredg is one of my favorite instrumental pieces. Another of my favorites is "To Far Away Times" by Yasunori Mitsuda. _________________ FurPride || Furbox |

One word: Vesuvius.
Written by Frank Ticheli, it's a very exciting wind ensemble piece, and quite possibly the greatest song I've ever had the luxury to play. Go check it out at http://www.manhattanbeachmusic.com! (It's also where I got my screen name...)

Instrumental music... I don't suppose classical counts, 'cause if it does, I'll need a bit of space to sum up my favourite pieces.
For more modern ones... I second the vote of "Chariots of Fire", and the soundtrack of 1492 (Conquest of Paradise, also Vangelis) is good material to dream away at. Almost every time I hear those I start thinking of an endless, peaceful ocean... _________________ Lt. Stacey 'Target, lock, KILL' Fluffybun reporting.

"Fire On High" from Electric Light Orchestra. It's also the theme song to my story. I also like "Chariots of Fire", and also "Alex F".
For great Classic (not Classical) instrumentals, "The Pink Panther Theme" by Henry Mancini, Theme from Hawaii 5-0, let's see, and the theme from the movie "Silent Running."
I also love bagpipe and Celtic music, especially Celtic harp.

some of my favorite instrumentals are:
"Frankenstien" by Edgar Winter
the version of Jimi Hedrix' "Little Wing" recorded by Stevie Ray Vaughn
I also like some of the 60's surf instrumentals such as:
Walk Don't Run
Pipeline

Oh yeah! "Pipeline" by Dick Dale, if I remember correctly, is just great. Wanted to borrow it as a character theme for a story of mine that unfortunately never got written. _________________ Tygon Panthera - name and species

That's right Tygon, It was by Dick Dale and The Ventures.
I don't know how he could stand to play a guitar with such heavy strings on it though. .013" (0.33mm) high E and tuned to standard pitch.
SRV used to use a .013" high E but turned down to E flat.
Every now and then I hear it used in a car commercial. (Honda?) _________________ Mark Lonewolf

David Lanz did a piano piece called "Vesuvius" that I really like. Not sure if he wrote it or it's a piano adaptation of the song you mention. As to instrimentals, I like David Lanz's Piano stuff in general.
