List of instrumental songs

This is a list of instrumental songs, arranged alphabetically by title. This list is meant to cover all genres; rock, jazz, pop, country, symphonic, alternative, dance, punk, disco, new wave, bluegrass, acid-house, psychedelic, orchestral, rap, soundtrack cuts, new age, metal, smooth jazz, 40's, 50's, 60's, 70's, 80's, 90's, etc. As some artists are mainly instrumentalists (Joe Satriani, Miles Davis, Moby, James Newton Howard, Steve Vai, Henry Mancini, etc.) not every song is listed. Also live performances have been omitted as there are too many (unless they are clear, high quality and rare recordings). Included are some songs that may have a word or a single line, a breif refrain, harmony vocalization or wordless vocalizations (where the voice is used as an instrument); for instrumental purists, these songs will be so noted.
