musiclover10 Best Lyricless Songs
September 20th 2006 16:57
Have you ever heard a song that sounded excellent, except for the horrible lyrics? For every great lyric penned by man, there are about 743 terrible ones. For every Lennon, there are 743 Duffs, Lohans, and Hiltons. The number is obviously an estimate, but I'm sure it wouldn't be far from the actual figure, should someone else ever wish to conduct a study of this nature. There is, however, a middle ground; the instrumental. The following is a tribute to 10 great songs, the artists of which decided againt risking ruining a musical masterpiece by saying somthing stupid.
1- Comanche - The Revels( below is the video that made this song famous, it's definitely NOT WORK SAFE)
2- The Ox - The Who
3- Eruption - Van Halen
4- Bron Yr Aur - Led Zeppelin
5- Embryonic Journey - Jefferson Airplane
6- Steppin Out - John Mayall's Bluesbreakers
7- The Good, The Bad and The Ugly - Ennio Morricone
8- This Is Jazz - Miles Davis
9- The Marriage of Figaro
verture - Mozart
10- Orion - Metallica
...I know this site is called ONLY Rock N' Roll and there are some songs there that clearly don't fit that category, but as far as ass-kickery goes, they are right up there, and are therefore welcome to grace this page.
I made this list while listening to "Stairway to Heaven" by Led Zeppelin, yet again.

Angela was beautiful jaza-funk instrumental which had the rights bought for use as the opening theme for the classic tv sitcom "Taxi" .. surely you must remember that show or are you really really young ...??
