Favourite rock instrumental

I'm not a big instrumental fan, but I have always loved the following Nine Inch Nail's instrumentals:

The Mark Has Been Made - absolutely my favorite instrumental
A Warm Place
The Downward Spiral (some lyrics, not many though)
Eraser (again there are a few lyrics)
Adrift and At Peace
Gone, Still
The Frail
Just Like You Imagined
La Mer


I also enjoy the following:

Radiohead - Kid A (some lyrics, but mainly an instrumental)
Radiohead - Treefingers

The piano solo at the end of "Layla" is one of my favorite pieces as well.

Ina Gada Da Vida: Great song, but not an instrumental. I also like Tubular Bells, but because the guy is naming the instruments as they join in, that too might not be considered and instrumental.

Classical Gas - Mason Williams
Fire on High - ELO
Hawaii Five-O - The Ventures
Frankenstein - Edgar Winter Group

All 3 Metallica instrumentals are fantastic: Call of Ktulu, Orion, and To Live is To Die.

Missed one, homey.

(Anesthesia) Pulling Teeth from Kill 'Em All

To Live Is To Die has lyrics.

When a man lies, he murders some part of the world
These are the pale deaths, which men miscall their lives
All this I cannot bear to witness any longer
Cannot the Kingdom of Savlation take me home?
