I was just listening to some Joe Satriani and I heard his "=D19C4F4D7743E5A9&index=0">Summer Song". In my Opinion, Joe Satriani is the best guitarist of all time, and I think this may be his best instrumental song. Some of my other favorite Instrumentals are:
Satch Boogie-Joe Satriani
Dialectic Chaos-Megadeth
Echo-Joe Satriani
Canto 34-Five Finger Death Punch
I have a playlist on youtube with all of these songs. Click here to view it. Anyway, I am trying to create a list of the best rock/metal instrumental songs of all time. If you have one, please add it to the list I have started here.
I agree with Nurvana I'm a huge Boston fan and have loved that song since the first time i heard it. I'm not sure but I think that "Let There be Rock" by AC-DC has a lot of intruments in it.

Yes, but it doesn't count as an instrumental, seeing as how the song contains a prominent vocal track. In fact, when you actually think about it, AC/DC don't have any bona fide instrumentals. What's up with that, Angus?!
Good instrumentals? Sure, I know a few. Eruption-Van Halen Rat Salad-Black Sabbath Star Spangled Banner-Jimi Hendrix (Live at Berkley) To Live is To Die (even though it has 1 verse at the end, it's still an instrumental) Suicide and Redemption both by Metallica Orion and Call of Ktulu got boring

I don't mean to brag, but I'm an avid AC/DC fan, owning every album and box set and Live DVD. For the past few years, I've been thinking the same thing, and the answer is quite simple: as great and influential as they are, they are very 1 dimensional, which is why I like them so much cause I'm the same way >_> No acoustic melodies or bridges, just plain classic rock from the beginning to end. They do have 2 instrumentals anyway, though, but they're the same length as the other songs by them (go figure) and they're on the Who Made Who album: D.T. and Chase the Ace.
I'll say Peter Gunne by Emerson Lake & Palmer mainly cause I like it and no one else has mentioned it. I could probably find instrumentals I like more though.
Other than that, I like songs with vocals. Non-Jordan, I'd have to go with either the first song from Shadows Fall's new album, Retribution (Can't remember the name) or Seperation by AILD
