Gotta second this one... As a kid listening to quadrophenia with headphones
the first time totally blew me away. The instrumentals are amazing, and moon
and entwhistle are so powerful together on this their interplay is chilling.
An all time top 10 album of mine. Sparks and underture from Tommy are good
too.
Here's a few of my favorites:
Terry Carolan - Easter '83 - A moody ringing guitar instrumental that he
wrote after breakup with his first wife. You might be able to find it on his
website terrycarolan.com
Eric Johnson - Cliffs Of Dover
Terry Carolan - Mrs. Stagg
Ventures - Walk Don't Run '64 (Surf doesn't get any better than this)
Daddy A Go Go - The Thing from Planet Twang (From a kids album, does have a
little marvin the martian vocal sound at the beginning and end). This one
makes a great slide show background too.
John Miles - Nice Man Jack part B - Mitre Square (One of my all time
favorite ripping guitar hero instrumentals)
Phillip Glass - Mishima title track (military drums, a nod to 50s surf, and
some truly hypnotic strings)
Classical - Too many to list, but I have a special love of these two:
Beethoven - Eggmont Overture (utah symph, around 1985 I think, this version
rocks)
Beethoven - 9th (1977 Karajan version, 2nd movement with all the kettle
drums rocks)
