I'm not sure if there's already a topic for this, but what are your favorite instrumentals by bands that aren't all or mostly instrumental bands/artists?

Usually there seem to be some pretty overlooked amazing instrumentals, here's a couple of my favorites that I don't think get enough attention:

This one has some really great transitions from energetic thrashing to melodic passages

This has always been a favorite Maiden song of mine, all the riffs really pack a punch.

If I say fuck two more times that's forty-six fucks in this fucked up rhyme

Into The Lungs Of Hell - Megadeth
To Live Is To Die (I don't count the spoken bit as vocals. It's not singing!), Orion, The Call Of Ktulu, Anaesthesia (Pulling Teeth) - Metallica
Five Billion Dead (I think that's the name?) - Carnivore
Into the Unfathomed Tower - Candlemass
The Schizo songs (again, some vocals, but not sung) - Annihilator
The Ultra-Violence - Death Angel

And a couple more:

Frankenstein - Overkill (It's a great cover, and the original is brilliant too)
Hocus Pocus - Helloween (originally by Focus. Has vocals too, but they are nonsense, basically an additional insrument)
Jesus Built My Hotrod - Ministry (same story with the vocals. An extra instrument by Gibby Haynes)

Fully instrumental tracks rarely do anything for me, but the track I always think of first is: 

Sonic Pulsar - Dreamscapes



And if it counts I've also rather fond of:

Obscura - A Transcendental Serenade

It does have a brief vocal section in it though.

The ones from Black Sabbath are pretty good: Breakout, Orchid, Laguna Sunrise...

And from Metallica: Kall Of Ktullu, To Live is To Die and the fantastic Orion.

Oh, yes, there's an awesome instrumental from Cormorant:

Neoclassical shredding from Jason Becker, Marty Friedman, Bumblefoot, Buckethead, Borislav Mitic, Matthias IA Eklundh and more are really my favorite metal instrumental music :)
