VA - Instrumentals By Non-Instrumental Artists Vol. 02 (A Butterboy Compilation) CD1+CD2+CD3+CD4

 

INSTRUMENTALS ROCK Pt.2

VA - Instrumentals By Non-Instrumental Artists Vol. 02 (A Butterboy Compilation) CD1+CD2+CD3+CD4

Instrumentals are not new to pop and rock. There have been many hit singles from instrumental bands that have delighted all when heard. On occasion Rock artists with capable singers have hit songs with an instrumental track, some are used for soundtracks, but these instrumental tracks rival the otherwise vocal band or artists' other music. The tracks presented in this compilation are mainly from the Pop and Rock genres. All of these presented artists/bands feature singers with great vocal talent, but here are the tracks where they have decided to let the instruments do the talking.

With the exception of a few tracks containing some words these ostensibly instrumental tracks represent Volume 2 "Instrumentals by Non-Instrumental Artists". Enjoy!

  1. Many thanks, liked Vol 1 too. But title for this post shows Vol 1 - s/b Vol 2. BTW I'm a pedant by night. 😎

  2. My brother and I would classify instrumentals as "tk" or "ntk". The 'tk' stood for Tom Kennedy, host of the game show "You Don't Say". So, any instrumental that had a single human utterance on it was 'ntk' or 'not Tom Kennedy'. Examples would be "Wipe Out" by the Surfaris and "Last Night" by the Mar-Keys. Even a grunt was enough to throw a song into the 'ntk' category. I wish I had the lists we made starting in the early 60's.

    1. Hi efredd,
      Sounds like that was a good idea.
      I included some 'ntk' tracks because I felt these are ostensibly instrumental tracks.
      Cheers.

    1. Hi ShearForce.
      I forgot about that track. Thanks for reminding me. Should have been included. Maybe in the next compilation.
      Cheers.
