The most famous Instrumentals in Pop history?

Question

Hi everybody,

I would like to know the most famous Instrumentals in Pop History.
I have so many melodies of Instrumentals in my head but don't know the titles.

I mean Instrumentals like this examples:

Hot Butter - Popcorn
Space - Magic Fly
Fleetwood Mac - Albatros
Santana - Samba Pa Ti
Dan The Banjo Man - Dan The Banjo Man

It is very difficult to find the titles of Instrumentals because it is impossible to identify them by the non existing lyrics. Please help me and others to tell here the titles of very famous Pop Instrumentals.

Answer 2

Try searching for artists.

The Shadows
Booker T and The MG's
Duane Eddy
Bill Black's Combo
The Atlantics
The Tornados
Dick Dale and his Surf Guitar

All these artists and groups mainly did instrumentals, although they did the occasional vocal track. Similarly, bands known for vocals also sometimes did instrumentals. You will just have to stumble over these.

One I do remember, Cry For a Shadow, The (early) Beatles.

A couple of tracks from bands I dont remember, Tequila and Telstar.

RUSH-La Villa Strangiato
