"What do I know of cultured ways, the gilt, the craft and the lie? I, who was born in a naked land and bred in the open sky. The subtle tongue, the sophist guile, they fail when the broadswords sing; Rush in and die, dogs - I was a man before I was a king."

#34 - DMB

Sarajevo 12/24 - TSO

“An empty vessel makes the loudest sound, so they that have the least wit are the greatest babblers.”. - Plato

Any song from Explosions in the Sky.

I wouldn't stop with Freeway Jam, the whole Blow by Blow album could feasibly top a list of instrumentals.

 

We could go old school and /end thread this with Bach's Brandenburg Concertos, but that's not fair.

The Planets - Holst

 

Genesis has a lot of good instrumental sections in their "longs."  I guess they are better described as jams.

I'm just not an instrumentals guy.
