teleman Posted March 6, 2005 Posted March 6, 2005 Orange Blossum Special - The HellecastersCause we ended as lovers - Jeff BeckWired - Brent Mason
hudpucker Posted March 6, 2005 Posted March 6, 2005 King Crimson-Discipline King Crimson-Red Joe Satriani-The Souls of Distortion Hendrix-Tax Free VH-Intruder Carlos Cavazo-Battle Axe. Just kidding about that last one.
hardheartedbill Posted March 6, 2005 Posted March 6, 2005 damn, this is a tough one, I listen to mainly instrumental so I have tons of choices, 2 that spring to mind are JB Cause Weve Ended as Lovers and Danny Gattons Halem Nocturne, Gatton really crushes that one and makes it his own
Jeff R Posted March 6, 2005 Posted March 6, 2005 Another vote for "Cliffs of Dover," and "srv" off Venus Isle is another that comes to mind.

Brownsound Posted March 6, 2005 Posted March 6, 2005 Just because nobody mentioned it.Teg Nugent- Homebound Ted Nugent- Hybernation
kizanski Posted March 6, 2005 Posted March 6, 2005 Given the choice, I'll take an instrumental over a song with lyrics 7 days a week and twice on Sunday (which it happens to be right now).I have countless favorites, so these are just a few.Anything from Jeff Beck "Wired" would do it for me.Most of the Ventures' body of work.Black Sabbath's "Orchid."Joe Satrian's live EP "Dreaming #11" kicks all kinds of ass.
ajoso Posted March 6, 2005 Posted March 6, 2005 Peter Green: The SupernaturalAnything by Freddie KingAnything by SantanaThe Miles Davis catalog. Ditto for Art Blakey. Tequila!!!
bobbymack Posted March 9, 2005 Posted March 9, 2005 "Jessica" from the first live post-Duane ABB album "Wipe the Windows..."Chuck Leavell on piano, and Dickey Betts' playing in the last half of the tune is perhaps his all time best, imho...
Nuclear Wessel Posted March 9, 2005 Posted March 9, 2005 I love instrumental music. Hard to pick a favorite. "La Villa Strangiatto" is a classic in my book. I also love a lot of Satriani. Not of this Earth, Surfing With the Alien and The Extremist contain the most memorable tunes IMHO, or is it just because I listened to them so often? Jeff Beck's Guitar Shop is amazing. It's hard to pick a favorite from that album.Jeff Golub's "Widow's Walk" is so emotional.David Gilmour's "Raise My Rent" has such a cool guitar tone.Pat Metheny's material on Still Life Talking and Letter From Home is beautiful. Amazing guitar playing on those albums too.
silentman Posted March 9, 2005 Posted March 9, 2005 Lots of faves.Yngwie - Trilogy SuiteYngwie - Icarus Dream SuiteSRV - Riviera ParadiseVai - LibertyDream Theater - Dance of Eternity

Tres Aardvarks Posted March 9, 2005 Posted March 9, 2005 Hmm, in something resembling an order, here's the top 4....FrankensteinLa Villa StrangiatoYYZPhallic Tractor (Racer X) - has the vibe that makes you want to rip shit up, the kind of song I'd love to start a setlist with.
bruce919 Posted March 9, 2005 Posted March 9, 2005 Satriani- Love ThingSatriani- If I could flyNeal Schon- I'll Be waiting Gary Moore- Supernatural
John E Posted March 9, 2005 Posted March 9, 2005 I second sojourner and SirDan's "Classical Gas" and add Herb Alpert & the Tijuana Brass's "A Taste of Honey," the ultimate "my parents are having a party" song from the 1960s.
