Those 3 are the jams.

I'm a gigging bassist so nobody feels this pain more than me and other musicians. The industry has all but completely weeded us out but, as a result, they're creating a niche for us in other respects.


Jungle Boogie by K&TG
Pick up the Pieces by AWB
Chameleon by Herbie

All get backsides bumping in the live setting.

Frankenstein by Edgar Winters Group is a great rock instrumental.

Met Kenny G at a KJLH function. He's truly the perceived portrait of a jazz musician, cool, laid back, very approachable. I love his music. To this day I wonder if he was floating.

Hey, this one is WAY TOO COOL to ignore in this thread. When he wasn't working with Phil Specter, or the Stones or Neil, he did this:



Oh, when the french horns kick in. . .

Here's another classic that everyone will recognize in about .5 seconds, but on this, at about 43 seconds in, is probably the greatest combination of wave riding and action filming ever.

Here's another instrumental gem, worthy of some Rib-bits:

This mega-famous group, not known for their many tasty instrumentals, had only one number one single in the UK:



Also, it is claimed, that a year after this, the band outsold the Beatles and the Stones combined in the UK.

They also did a "Santana song" years before he did.

Also, because Because was said by John to be inspired by this group, it is logically assumed, this is the song.

That's a bad ass collection for sure on all counts that I am now going to make into a playlist.

But I'm going to add one. I know it may not count as a "hit" by itself, but it was an insanely great instrumental and a highlight of an album that was solidly on the charts for decades.

"Any Colour You Like" is a beautifully seminal piece of music and is a core part of the heart of one of arguably the best albums ever, "Dark Side of the Moon".

Night School - Frank Zappa

instrumentals in general seem to have a stronger connection with memories
