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.

Its hard to know what instrumental song is the best "ever" whatever answer gonna be influenced for a personal perspective or some mass-media trend. After all is a matter of tastes, just enjoy the music.

Pendulous Skin by Mastodon is one of my favorites.

I like Three Flights Up by Yellowcard. And even though they can't really be compared (other than the fact they're both instrumental), I also like Always With Me, Always With You by Joe Satriani. Those are my favorite instrumentals.

Metallica - Nothing Else Matters is my fav one.

I add to my tiny list: Eruption by Van Halen. That's some pretty epic guitar

I'd cast my vote for Yes.
Any Yes song will have intricate and varied rythmical structure and a pretty unsettling instrumentation; they're one of the best bands in the history of music, if not the best in term of progressive rock.
