Apart from Orion, Metallica has plenty. Call of Ktulu, Anesthesia, To Live is to Die, Suicide and Redemption.




These go to eleven.

First thing I thought of. This is an extended version that I'd actually never heard. I had always heard the "radio" release...





"If you’re a leader, you lead the way. Not just on the easy ones; you take the tough ones too…” – MAJ Richard D. Winters (1918-2011), E Company, 2nd Battalion, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne

"Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil... Therefore, as tongues of fire lick up straw and as dry grass sinks down in the flames, so their roots will decay and their flowers blow away like dust; for they have rejected the law of the Lord Almighty and spurned the word of the Holy One of Israel." - Isaiah 5:20,24

Thanks for the "Moby Dick" suggestion, I couldn't remember who did that one.

I can't believe no one listed this one yet. It qualifies in the greatest song ever category, not just instrumental:
SRV Little Wing
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=An4uDegHB8s

another great SRV:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HEuKbE4MXPE

does this count? There's a little background vocals:
Fire On High
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=22Ndi2HUheg

and here's a great little Beatles tune I think qualifies:
Flying
