Crazy Diamond Posted 25 October, 2011 Posted 25 October, 2011 Tough one this. I've not made my mind up, but the one that springs to mind is Green Onions by Booker T and the MGs.

dinger Posted 25 October, 2011 Posted 25 October, 2011 Just to clarify... Is this best ever piece of music without any human voices? Or best ever piece of music without any human voices by an artist who usually uses a human voice? Or best ever piece of music that isn't really a song?
Pancake Posted 25 October, 2011 Posted 25 October, 2011 UNKLE - When Things Explode Ian Astbury will be gutted that you cant hear him (PS, I know you are referring to the inst. version on the Jap. version of War Stories)
ericofarabia Posted 26 October, 2011 Posted 26 October, 2011 Led Zep - Rock'n'Roll From 22 seconds in when Robert Plant announces that .... "ït's been a long time since i rock n'rolled" he barely shuts his brummie trap up bar a Jimmy Page guitar solo. Presumably you are on a wind up, and I fell for it.
ericofarabia Posted 26 October, 2011 Posted 26 October, 2011 Fanfare For The Common Man ELP This is a very good call.
ericofarabia Posted 26 October, 2011 Posted 26 October, 2011 Is this instrumental tunes it breaks? En Englais? ... no predictive text either!!
Hamilton Saint Posted 27 October, 2011 Posted 27 October, 2011 Fanfare For The Common Man ELP It's OK, but the original orchestral version (by Aaron Copland) is superior!
Hamilton Saint Posted 27 October, 2011 Posted 27 October, 2011 Where to begin? Take Five Dave Brubeck Quartet So What Miles Davis Goodbye Pork Pie Hat Charles Mingus pavane pour une infante defunte Maurice Ravel Prélude à l'après-midi d'un faune Claude Debussy
Durleyfos Posted 27 October, 2011 Posted 27 October, 2011 The end of I am the Resurrection by the Stone Roses.
Crazy Diamond Posted 30 October, 2011 Author Posted 30 October, 2011 This is a very good call. A good call? It's a bloody stonker. Well done sadoldgit.
Lord Duckhunter Posted 31 October, 2011 Posted 31 October, 2011 Tough one this. I've not made my mind up, but the one that springs to mind is Green Onions by Booker T and the MGs. I prefer Time is tight

SuperMikey Posted 31 October, 2011 Posted 31 October, 2011 Surprised nobody has mentioned the Love Walrus yet:
Pugwash Posted 31 October, 2011 Posted 31 October, 2011 Going back a few years - FUBB (F*cked Up Beyond Belief), or Pilgrim by Wishbone Ash
Sheaf Saint Posted 4 November, 2011 Posted 4 November, 2011 (edited) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_wLXJASUOmI This came to mind while I was out at a firework display tonight! Edited 4 November, 2011 by Sheaf Saint
sadoldgit Posted 5 November, 2011 Posted 5 November, 2011 This is a very good call. Actually the WBMFTTSTNE version of Aquatarkus was ever better than Fanfare.
miserableoldgit Posted 5 November, 2011 Posted 5 November, 2011 Fanfare For The Common Man ELP Some years ago this was used for a couple of matches when the team came onto the pitch. Thought that it worked really well.
Pugwash Posted 6 November, 2011 Posted 6 November, 2011 Actually the WBMFTTSTNE version of Aquatarkus was ever better than Fanfare. Agreed. Excellent live.
dinger Posted 6 November, 2011 Posted 6 November, 2011 Just to clarify... Is this best ever piece of music without any human voices? Or best ever piece of music without any human voices by an artist who usually uses a human voice? Or best ever piece of music that isn't really a song? This was a serious question.

shurlock Posted 7 November, 2011 Posted 7 November, 2011 (edited) maggot brain by funkadelic (an extended guitar solo) there's plenty of stuff on the warp label but I guess that doesn't technically count. Edited 7 November, 2011 by shurlock
dinger Posted 7 November, 2011 Posted 7 November, 2011 maggot brain by funkadelic (an extended guitar solo) there's plenty of stuff on the warp label but I guess that doesn't technically count. Why? Why doesn't it count? What does this ridiculous category mean? Best piece of music that doesn't include one random instrument? What does it mean?
Trevor in Vancouver Posted 30 December, 2011 Posted 30 December, 2011 "Where Were You?" - Jeff Beck. Staggeringly beautiful. Or, for something completely different, "Red" - King Crimson. Wanna know where Tool got their inspiration? Look no further. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WziHTTy_MCs
Dimond Geezer Posted 30 December, 2011 Posted 30 December, 2011 Brian May's Last Horizon, even better live when he runs it into Chinese Torture.
EastleighSoulBoy Posted 30 December, 2011 Posted 30 December, 2011 '6 By 6' - EARL VAN DYKE A good choice, the backing track to Laura Lee - To Win Your Heart, with the early incarnation of the Funk Brothers bashing it out. Also try the Funks & Detroit Symphony with the instrumental of What's Going On.
St Chalet Posted 31 December, 2011 Posted 31 December, 2011 Lily Was Here - Candi Dulfer and Dave Stewart
SNSUN Posted 10 January, 2012 Posted 10 January, 2012 Kinobe - Slip into something more comfortable - one of my favourite summer chillout tunes.
