I think he means instrumental.

And for non-orchestral/soundtrack stuff, I'd have to agree with Orion or Green Onions.

 

[Howard]

Re-read OP, sorry for confusion.

 

[WobbleWobble]

Electronica
Robert Miles - Children

Non-Electronica
Scott Joplin - Entertainer

 

[DaveSimmons]

Rock - Wishbone Ash - "The Spirit Flies Free" - Nouveau Calls
(honorable mention: Satriani, SRV's "Little Wing", though I prefer Concrete Blonde's w/vocals)

Classical - Vivaldi - Works for Italian Lute - Jakob Lindberg (BIS -CD-290)
(honorable mention: Sharon Isbin's Bach CD)

Celtic - Turlough O'Carolan planxties - Joemy Wilson (Carolan's Cup, Carolan's Cottege CDs)

 

[Xionide]

Aphex twin - outside kickass violin solo

 

[40Hands]

Tool - Triad

and

Brainbug - Nightmare

Edit: not sure if i met the criteria but oh well

 

[imported_Strang]

Based on the new criteria, I'm going to pick:
Booker T and the MGs - Green Onions

and

Clint Mansell - Summer Overture.

 

[pyonir]

Classical: Carmen Suite No. 2: Habanera.
Modern (Electrical): DJ Shadow - Organ Donor

 

[nakedfrog]

How could my absolute favorite include 2 songs?

Anyway, following the OP's instructions, I would say West End Blues by Louis Armstrong and His Hot Five and YYZ by Rush.

Most of my songs are hit or miss, if you're into the genre, then you'll like it. I suggest you grab the original by William Orbit, or the ORIGINAL by Maurice Ravel (1899).

I saw the Dave Brubeck quartet play at the Hult Center in Eugene, OR on August 7th. Awesome. Just awesome. Of course they played Take Five. The master at work. The old guy may be 83 years old but he's still got it. No arthritis in those fingers let me tell ya...
