Have you ever wondered why more bands don't do instrumental songs ?

I am talking since 1960 or so.
What are there ?

Maybe 6% or 9% of all rock and roll bands that did an instrumental or three .

What are two or three of your songs with out words ?





Safety, Situational Awareness and proficiency.

Java, Al Hirt
Green Onions, Booker T and the M.G.’s
The Stripper, David Rose

There’s probably a couple more that escape me at this moment.

As much as I like instrumental songs, I doubt they have the typical "catch" that songs with lyrics do. After all, they want to make money.

I've got a bunch of rock bands that did instrumental songs but since you asked for two or three.
Deep Purple - "A" 200
Montrose - Starliner
Gamma - Condition Yellow

I think Dixie Dregs, or Dregs (as another variant) only had a couple of songs that DID have lyrics. Its all instrumental

I can think of hundreds… Props to the JS post… Great choice!

Here is one that came to mind immediately:

This one comes to mind:



On The Who's Quadrophenia album, there are some very muscular, yet musical, instrumentals.
