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.

NIN and Radiohead are both personal favorites of mine.

Old fart here........

Tubular Bells Mike Oldfield
Ina Gada Da Vida Iron Butterfly

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?
