Songs. Songs without words. 19 of my favorites. Only one per artist. Listed alphabetically. Suggestions welcome.
Suggestion:
The Jimi Hendrix version of Cream's
"Sunshine Of Your Love".
It is an instrumental version.
Alan Parsons: I Robot
Allman Brothers: Jessica
ELO: Fire on High
Does yodelling disqualify an entry ?
Otherwise I would also suggest
Hocus Pocus by Focus.
A few suggestions off the top...
Born Under A Bad Sign - Jimi Hendrix (Blues)
Little Wing - Stevie Ray Vaughn (The Sky Is Crying)
In Memory Of Elizabeth Reed - Allman Brothers (Live At The Fillmore)
Feelin' Bad Blues - Ry Cooder (Crossroads soundtrack)
Great Gig In The Sky - Pink Floyd (Dark Side..)
Laguna Sunrise - Black Sabbath (Vol. 4)
Take 5 - Dave Brubeck (Take 5)
I might have included "Great Gig in the Sky", but I limited myself to one song per artist, and I prefer "Any Colour You Like." As for "Take Five", that is a great suggestion and one that should be on here. I haven't heard any other songs you mentioned, nor either that professor mentioned, but maybe I'll download them.
I know you're really not looking forward to anymore additions from me, but these final seven have been on my mind since my last post:
"Frankenstein" - Edgar Winter Group
"Wipeout" - The Surfaris
"Jingo" - Santana
"Eruption" - Van Halen
"Woodpecker From Mars" - Faith No More
"Orion" - Metallica
"Harlem Nocturne" - Lounge Lizards
That's it from me!
Foreplay - Boston
