Music today is gaining strength, minus the pop morons and sellouts, if you even consider it music (i don't, not artisty, no talent, just auto-tuned, computer produced bull$hit...Beiber/Gaga/anything on the mainstream radio)

Real music exists in your local venues, at your grassroots festivals, and anywhere where a group of individuals gather together to create art...not make a buck.

Lotus (Electronic Rock/ Instrumental)
Papadosio (Electronic Rock)

I like instrumental techno.

I like instrumental music for Flash Games, but it still sounds pretty cool anyway. =)

Since i first heard metal i like electric guitar stuff, sorry for the big list but whenever i think of one song, remember other

Andy Timmons - hiroshima (pray for peace)
Borislav Mitic - chasing a dream
Cacophony - concerto
Jason Becker - altitudes
JerryC - cannon rock
Joe Satriani - war
Marty Friedman - bittersweet
Paul Gilbert - eudaimonia overture
Rata Blanca - capricho arabe, preludio obsesivo
Stevie Ray Vaughan - wham
Steve Vai - the audience is listening
Takayoshi Ohmura - pleasant surprise
Tomoyasu Hotei - howling
Ulytau - ata tolgauy
Vanessa Mae - tocatta and fugue in d minor
Vinnie Moore - last road home
Yngwie Malmsteen - trilogy suite op 5

Animals As Leaders are a great instrumental band if you're into progressive metal.

And, as always, you got your guys that do guitar oriented instrumentals like Joe Satriani, Steve Vai, John5, Jeff Loomis, etc.

love instrumental, and i love how it can still be created in s many genres too. some of my faves:
Ronald Jenkees: Guitar Sound, Throwing Fire, STS9 Collab, Disorganized Fun
Angels and Airwaves: Star of Bethlehem
Third Eye Blind: Slow Motion Instrumental (even though taken from original song w/ lyrics, still awesome)
Funkadelic: Maggot Brain
Coldplay: Life in Technicolor

i think that when used in the proper way... vocals can be instruments... and with that i leave you w/ the band


VAN CANTO

and some of their songs include:
Lost Forever
The Mission
Fear of the Dark
