@mn5 I broke up with a girl years ago and took it hard, used to play the Dire Straits track a lot alone in my room. Dusty

I love that track. Dire Straits are a funny one for me, I mean I’m sick to death of all the ubiquitous shit I hear on the radio ( in some ways they are the very definition of boring middle aged rock ) but Knopfler can fucken play like no one else.

I’ll save the “ this song makes me think of a particular chick” for another thread

I agree, they never had the cool factor. But as you say, Knofler can hang with the best of them

Something more obscure

Also, I know this runs into a non-instrumental but I’ve loved this since our music teacher played it to us in 1973 when it had just been released.

Most will say Orion but this is my favorite Metallica. Takes me back to a great time of life.

Bovidae

Some goodies so far.

I could pick any Satch song but this has always been a favourite

A B-side from Dream Theater, and not their typical instrumental

Bones

Does this count?

Kruse

Is it uncool to mention the Weather Report?
And if so - I'll throw in an album I stumbled across recently:

Also - Khruangbin... 95% of their stuff is instrumental, so that counts, right?
And - their bassist gives me the biggest of horns.
I've said it before, and I'll say it again - bassists with vaginas... phwooooarrrr... gets me everytime.

@bones I had a girlfriend who loved that movie, thankfully that track is great - I don't know how many times I've watched it. Basil Poledouris' work is good too.

My favourite Metallica instrumental has always been The Call of Ktulu

Patton is the star of FNM but by fuck the rest of the boys could rock too. That Bass is off the hook.

Banger of a track from a brilliant band.

Victor Meldrew

Currently have this playing....

Nah, it really does need to be both.
Learn to play the bass, and get back to me.

Pretty much a band of funky instrumentals (with the odd vocal interjection)
Saw this exact lineup the same year at the nightclub under the Chelski Stadium (the bouncers all looked like ex KGB).
Incredible sound quality and super funky

I hate it when I hit on ferners and I get turned down.
