    In Flames certainly do have some amasing instrumentals, Man Made God being a favourite of mine, others worth checking out:

    In Flames - Wayfarer
    In Flames - Timeless
    In Flames - Dreamspace
    Morbid Angel - Desolate Ways
    Dimmu Borgir - Glittertind (odd worrying scream from Chigarth[sp?] now and then, but more or less an instrumental, a class one too)
    Dimmu Borgir - Det Nye Ricket (bit of talking in norwiegan[sp?], but yet again, more or less, and also class)
    Gran Tourismo 2 soundrack - Blueline Instrumental
    Gran Tourismo 2 soundtrack - Moon over the Castle
    Nightwish - Crimson Tide and the Deep Blue Sea
    Shadows Fall - Lead me Home (possably the best instrumental ever)
    Shadows Fall - Prelude to Disaster
    Sinergy - Pulsations
    Arcturus - Ad Astra

    Well I think thats most of them that havent been mentioned :)

    A great instrumentral band band worth checking out are Apocalyptica, just 4 Chelloists doing some great metal covers, their own stuff is superb too, check out 'hope' which was done by them, great stuff, as is 'Until it Sleeps', 2 instrumental songs no music collection should be without.

    edit: almost forgot these:
    Blind Guardian - Gandalfs Rebirth
    Blind Guardian - Lucifers Heritage

    I was in Poland last year and I flicked on MTV to see Britney Spears, I left it on as background noise and the next video that came on was Apocalyptica. Can't remember what song it was, it was an old school Metallica one anyway (I think maybe Master...).

    There's a good Irish instrumental band called the Jimmy Cake, try their Dublin Gone, Everybody Dead album. Also, in a similar vein, Godspeed You! Black Emperor are damn fine epic instrumentalists. Mogwai have their moments. Autechre are really good (not rock music, weird electronica, similar but different to Aphex Twin). For something nice and relaxing try any collaboration between Stehpane Grappelli and Oscar Peterson, makes you think you're sitting in a café in Paris and life couldn't be better.

    Don't forget most Steve Vai, Joe Satriani and Yngwie Malmsteen songs. Especially Blackstar by Malmsteen!

    Some great ones been mentioned so far, but I think I have to add Sonata Arctica - Revontulet.

    For more from Dream Theater check out: Overture 1928, Ytse Jam, Hell's Kitchen, Erotomania.
    Someone mention Metallica's Orion, but Call of the Ktulu is also a nice one.

    ,the lads here.. willl all start whinging at me.. ( sorry lads!),,but anyway I have to list some special instrumentals here...and by the way only *in my humble opinion* great bands do instrumentals,,their musicianship has to carry it live aswell as in the studio,,,but anyway here's a few:

    Rush :
    La Villa Strangiato
    YYZ
    Leave That Thing Alone
    Wheres My Thing
    Limbo
    Overture 2112
    Xanadu..*most of that track is instrumental !*
    Hemisphere's - Prelude


    Jethro Tull:
    The Whistler *special edition 25 years etc*
    Elegy
    Thick As A Brick.*many instrumental passages*
    Bouree live * A Little Light Music*
    Cheerio *special edition 25 years etc *

    Horslips:
    Fantasia (My Lagan Love)
    Exiles

    Amen!!

    Everytime I hear cliff's bass interlude at the tempo change in Orion, I am able to remove myself from time and return to a memory I have from when I was 16, and on tour with my orchestra around Germany & Italy.

    We were on a double-decker tour bus, I was sitting upstairs on the left by a window, and woke up at about 5.30am (circa sunrise), pulled back the curtain and was met with my first view of the black forest in Germany, shrouded in mis in the morning sun-rise with the tree-tops sticking above the mist.....

    all to the sound of Cliff's interlude.


    You're all overlooking Hendrix' "Star Spangled Banner", possibly THE defining anthem of the 60's

    That's all.

    I was shown in the direction of Godspeed You Black Emperor! through the wonders of the song 'Moya' by a friend on IRC one night and have been thankful since. To this day, it remains one of my GYBE tracks.
    Also I'd recommend the Jimi Hendrix version of House of the Rising Sun, Eleven Blue Egyptians by Jason Becker for that krezy shredding, Bron Y Aur by Zeppelin, and to finish off:

    Wipeout - Surfaris
    Surf Rider - The Lively Ones
    Miserlou - Dick Dale

    You might hate some, but give em a try anyway :D
