Instrumentals

Lyrics - are they just bollocks?

I've got into several debates on 'ere previously about the value of lyrics in music - usually relating to Bob Dylan.

It occured to me that many of my all time favourite tracks are actually instrumentals.

What are your thoughts? What are your favourite instrumental tracks?

An old favourite dating from the 60s, listening to my parents' record collection (it's a live performance, too):

Outstanding lyrics can add so much, but for the best songs it is always the music that moves me.

Great lyrics without great music? Write a novel or a poem!

Not on the same level as the tracks in my OP, but...

On a side note, I've noticed people are posting instrumental versions of lyricised songs (as I have just done), whereas my posts were instrumentals to begin with. Not that it matters.

It's a long one but worth watching some one of the best guitarists around, had the pleasure of seeing him live in front of a few thousand people.

I still prefer the version from the Max Sessions, but a top drawer tune either way!
