I want to put together a cd for hubby for xmas, but I am musically retarded, I have included some examples in the question, however some of the bands he likes are: Judas Priest, Dokken, Scorpions, Sabbath, Ozzy, Led Zep, Pink Floyd, SteveVai, Malmsteen, Rush, Creed, so I am hoping that someone can point me in the right direction, I am getting tired of listening to sample previews to find the right one song, it took me hours to find Metallica Tribute to Cliff, we both enjoy metal music but its nice to kick back when the kids are sleeping and listen to something we can both enjoy, so if anyone can help me please!!!! I would prefer the music have no words like the above examples and be slowish, weepy I hope you understand, thanks a million!!!!

I found the Metallica S&M (San Francisco orchestra with Metallica) to be an awesome double CD and half the songs on there fit the slowish, but full sounding thing you are after. And the songs that rock sound SO good with the orchestra backing them. This is definitely not Musak.
And if you are looking for something different (I like Progressive rock) it's stuff you can't dance too (multi time signatures and very dynamic), there is an instrumental band called Gordian's Knot (and the self titled album Gordian's Knot is really good). Got some slowish songs, almost trance like, and others that completely rock out. Incredible musicianship.
Feel free to write me if you need more info.

I'm shocked nobody else stepped in to answer this one!
Rush: yyz
Rush: La Villa Strangiato
Metallica: Anestesia (Pulling Teeth)
Metallica: Orion
Pink Floyd: Atom Heart Mother (very long song, but worth its length in gold)
Led Zep: Bron-Yr-Aur
Satriani: "Why" or maybe "Tears in the Rain." (although, you can't go wrong with any of his stuff)
There are a bunch of other soulful and lovely short Black Sabbath fillers. Here are my favorites:
Cornucopia
Embryo
Orchid

Joe Satriani - You Saved My Life
Definately one of my favorite satch songs
Rush - Lakeside Park
Not an instrumental track, but it's still great
Creed - Lullaby
An awesome slow song from Creed. Not typical of Stapp's singing, but I was impressed.
Steve Vai - For the Love of God
I'm not usually a big Vai fan, but this one blew me away.

Metallica also has "Call of Ktulu".
Iron Maiden has "losfer words" and "Transylvania"
I don't think that Judas Priest has any "true" instrumentals.
