2 Providence - Godspeed You! Black Emperor
3 Interstellar Overdrive - Pink Floyd
4 Spare Chaynge- Jefferson Airplane
5 Blue Train - John Coltrane

 ...Definitely not an instrumental, sorry Pam.
Hm..  Might have to think about this. Hairymarx will probably have a great list though!

Hmm... interesting that you include jazz in yours; I don't know if I can do that because my heads would explode. So these are my top rock instrumentals (in no particular order...yet). And I guess I accidentally pluralized 'head.' Oh well...I'm not gonna change it. I stand by my dual-headedness. So without furthe-
Slint - Rhoda
Rush - YYZ
Metallica - Orion, Call of Ktulu
David Bowie - Speed of Life
Anathema - Violence
Tortoise - Djed
Mogwai - Like Herod
Pink Floyd - Interstellar Overdrive
Godspeed You Black Emperor! - East Hastings
Iron Maiden - Transylvania
Frank Zappa - Peaches En Regalia
Don Caballero - Cold Knees (In April)
Faust - Krautrock
Can - Aumgn
This Heat - 24 Track Loop
Neu! - Hallogallo

Voodoo People - The Prodigy
Blue Rondo A La Turk - Dave Brubeck Quartet
Come Home - The Chemical Brothers
Perpetual Dawn - The Orb
Deep Burnt - Gilles Peterson
Push the Feeling on - Nightcrawler
Bye Bye Blackbird - Miles Davis
His Majesty King Raam - Lemonjelly (ok this is a 'couple' more than 15 words but it is essentially an instrumental track)
C'est Le Vent, Betty - Gabriel Yared
Soul Limbo - Booker T & The MGs
Wild Cats of Kilkenny - The Pogues
God is a DJ - Faithless (ok this is a 'couple' more than 15 words but it is essentially an instrumental dance track)
Oscillate Wildly - The Smiths
So Easy - Royksopp
I can't get started - Dizzy Gillespie
Spastic Sister - Huge Baby
