No words? No worries! What are the favorite instrumental pieces for the folks on this board?
Let's keep the top 10 list to rock/metal stuff. But if you have other instrumental pieces from other genres, please do share them as honorable mentions!
Like today, I've got an honorable mention - The Blue Danube by Johann Strauss II
This one is fresh for me, every time. So full of romance for the river and the city built on its shores. It plays in buses, in coffee-shops, in random speakers around town, all over Vienna. And it is the BEST song for a leisurely Sunday morning drive. It's almost exactly the time I drive from home to church when I attend services, with the final chords coinciding with my majestic arcing entry into my parking space. It's not for fast cars, it's for slow rides on sunny days with nothing much else to do, a most relaxing and salubrious instrumental work.
But it's not rock'n'roll, so I'll not give it a number. :smug:
-
Number 10: "Soul Sacrifice" - Santana
They played this at Woodstock, where they performed prior to having any recorded output. It was well received, to the extent that had they never recorded another note of music they'd be in the history books. But, they went on to put "Soul Sacrifice" on their first album and went on to a lengthy career.
-
Hmm, I'm down to 9 selections with the additional criteria, and some of those are borderline acceptable...
My selections may not be in any sort of order, but my first choice is:
Foetus - The Overture From Pigdom Come
JG Thirlwell's "Scraping Foetus Off the Wheel" project, Nail is an industrial indie rock album and this 3:01 instrumental is rather good.
-
I'm gonna kick things off with Iced Earth.
1776 is a great instrumental from Something Wicked This Way Comes album. The riffing here is suberb and the song marches onward with great presense.
-
^^^
I've not played that for a while I'll have to give a listen tomorrow.
-
Number 9:
Evocative of hordes of crazed horsemen riding furiously across the tundra, Iron Maiden released Genghis Khan on their second long player, "Killers".
-
Choice Number 2...
Van Der Graaf Generator - Theme One
I'm not that familiar with VDGG but back in the late 70s and 80s Radio One had the Friday Night Rock Show from 10:00-Midnight. It was hosted by Tommy Vance... you may have heard of him and the show, it was iconic and many British rock fans have fond memories from that time. Anyway this used to be the theme song for his show (I forget if it was the opening tune or the closing tune), and I loved it... still do but I rarely hear it these days.
-
Black Sky Giant - Planet Terror
Deep bass riffage on this one, very much a space-rock groove tune. It's on my top ten list for the way it comes together so very well. It's not got any flash in it, it's direct, solid, focused. When I play this song, my car has rocket thrusters, I swear...
-
My #9 comes from MEGADETH
From the SUBERB Dystopia album Conquer Or Die is a great instrumental with a soft acoustic intro that leads to a bit more furious part. This was Kiko Laureiro's song and it showcased his versatility quite well. Their best instrumental for sure even though I quite like Silent Scorn as well...
-
:yes: Great pick there, Charger!
My next one on my top 10 list needs to be "Jessica" by The Allman Brothers.
Excellent song for driving, no wonder Top Gear tapped it for their title tune! Smooth, clean guitar work, tight drumming, melody like liquid sunshine on a fall day.
-
Interestingly, that is the first song from Van Der Graaf Generator I have ever actually listened to. Prior to clicking that YouTube link, I had never heard anything from them, although have been familiar with the name of the group for ever.
In a similar vein, I present Numero Ocho:
From 1975's "Ricochet," here is Ricochet, Part One by Tangerine Dream:
-
Ooooooh, electronica!
That reminded me of my number one favorite instrumental, so this one should be at the top of my list, even though it's the 3rd rock tune I've posted.
Santana and Buddy Miles - "Marbles / Lava"
The opening is a hardened version of a John McLaughlin composition with Carlos Santana and Neal Schon shredding hard on those riffs. Double percussionists coming down strong on the beats, punching everything forward in strong order while the guitar parts weave in and out of each other.
Then we break it all down with some Latin percussion layered on top of a pure drum line that just gets stronger, more purposeful. It builds up to a true eruption of heavy and hard guitars that always brings the goosebumps to my skin. This is the kind of music that makes souls merge harmoniously, energy 100% positive in this track.
-
For my second honorable mention, I take the electronic group St. Germain's Acid Jazz rework of a Herbie Mann riff called "So Flute"
Nice chill house vibe to the rhythm section added. Piano part is a smooth touch, as well. It ends suddenly because it's a track meant to be spliced with a larger mix, and that's how it got ripped from CD, I'm guessing.
-
:yes: Great pick there, Charger!
My next one on my top 10 list needs to be "Jessica" by The Allman Brothers.
Excellent song for driving, no wonder Top Gear tapped it for their title tune! Smooth, clean guitar work, tight drumming, melody like liquid sunshine on a fall day.
Hah! I never knew...There are strong similarities eventhough it's not clearly the same tune. Heavily inspired by this song for sure!
-
^^^
I didn't thinklabout Jessica it might have made my list if I had remembered!!
Choice 3 for me...
Sky - Toccata
An electronic version of Bach's classical piece, very entertaining.
-
I started listening to that Sky song, and thought it sounded...interesting. Not off, or wrong, but something about the recording itself seemed a little different than what my ears were expecting. So played it through a simple EQ that has a little trick up its sleeve - it does a fantastic job representing the waveform, as in it is spot on.
Lo and behold, there is some heavy "smear" mixing across a handful of bands. That 'splains it!
(https://www.ddever.net/img/sky_analysis.png)
-
^^^
Are you speaking Chinese or is it just my ignorance... I have no idea what you're saying! :o
-
Some of the notes are extended somehow, like the drums, that should be more "point in time". I'm not sure what the technical term for it is, but in the image the high bump parts of the EQ is where it maxes out, the bottom most line should be just a thin line, like it is in the middle, but the areas under those bumps are wider looking, like certain notes were caused to ring longer.
I just re-read that and am impressed at my ability to use so many words and still not make any sense :)
-
My #8 is a bit more mellow of a tune from CATHEDRAL
THE CARAVAN from the album Caravan Beyond Redemption.
This is a very catchy and kind of simple melody but it holds quite a good variety of instrumentation. Sort of in the vain of Planet Caravan but more acoustic guitar driven. Showcases well that Cathedral was more than just an ultra heavy doom band. They had quite a good feel of the mellow stuff too!
It just manages to clock 3 minutes! :)
-
I want this in my top 10, but it's not got a YouTube video to go with it, so here's a link to the song on Bandcamp:
The Marlboro Men - "Grogan's Run" https://themarlboromen.bandcamp.com/track/grogans-run
It's got some textures to it, sure, but it's also got some great meat in it. This is the kind of song to play at the end of a concert, where everybody gets a little sump'n to play, got a great riff to it, and then "Thank you, good night, we love you!" as the band takes a quick smoke break before the encore.
-
"a quick smoke break" - Marlboro Reds, no doubt.
Another thing. So, my nifty EQ software tricked me. The extension of the notes on those bands isn't real...I had a setting on the software incorrectly set. So, rather than a thin line, it for some reason has random thickness. Anyway, ignore everything I said about it. Fuck.
On to better things! Number 7 comes to us from Pink Floyd's 1971 LP "Meddle": One of These Days. I think the entire Meddle release is seriously under-rated. Here's the tunage (with one incidental spoken line):
-
IT IS NOT AN INSTRUMENTAL BECAUSE THAT GUY TALKS ON IT I WILL NOW RAGEQUIT
To be sure, that's an incredible mood piece, it's Halloween music for people who *really* want to scare the kids.
-
Pick number 4
Rush - The Main Monkey Business
The first of 2 or maybe 3 Rush instrumentals on my list. This 6 minute effort comes from the 2007 album Snakes and Arrows. An unusual album in that it has 3 instrumentals on it although the other two are too short for this list. I thought the live version was just as good as the studio version and means there is something to look at!
-
My # 7 comes from Finland...
NIGHTWISH - IMAGINAERUM
This was the title track of the Best album Nightwish has done. It is something of a medley, featuring parts of every song on the album but it also contains "original" stuff. Great orchestration here. This is like a really really big orchestral movie score. Love it.
-
That Rush tune opened with a riff that reminded me of another one I love, Booker T. & The M.G.'s "Sunny Monday".
-
Number 6: Stewed and Keefed (Brian’s Blues) by The Rolling stones. Apparently recorded in June of 1964 and then relegated to the "nah, maybe later" pile, I only recently heard about it. Maybe a year and a half ago. But it stands out to me as a fantastic Stones' artifact celebrating the music that motivated them to play music in the first place.
For that, it makes my list. Otherwise, it isn't particularly compelling or frankly any better than your average dime-a-dozen bar band jerking around for $50 a night and going nowhere.
As I sit here and think about it some more, I imagine the idea that they would be touring the world and playing to tens of thousands of people...SIXTY YEARS in the future...was a thought that couldn't even find the framework to form in their minds.
Yet, that's what it be :)
-
Stones had some amazing musicianship for kids their age. They way they were able to play with authenticity speaks to their ability to not only select great influences, but to do more than technically replicate those works. They've got a *feel* that is absent in a lot of lesser bands.
Putting The Beatles up against other bands, matching song for song, The Beatles frequently come off with a big loss. Rarely do they match or exceed the original work. The Rolling Stones at the same time period would be the guys you'd never want as an opening band, they were so consistently good. They were experts at making tunes 100% their own.
-
@Zs
That Booker T tune does have a certain similarity. I'll catch up on the other new tunes later.
Pick number 5
The Damned - Trojans
I had forgotten about this one until earlier. Re-listened to it and decided it was too good not to include on this list (I needed a 10th choice anyway!). It comes from their Phantasmagoria album and it's not very punky!
-
"Stones had some amazing musicianship for kids their age."
True dat. However, with that song I posted specifically (and no doubt they heard the same thing I hear now in it) is that only about half the actual Rolling Stones played on that recording.
To your point about their level of craftsmanship: I remember reading something from Keith Richards stating how much he and the others played instruments when they were kids (pre-band) and then once they got together. Like, ALL THE TIME. If they weren't noodling around learning their instrument(s), they were either sleeping or thinking about noodling around learning their instrument(s). Those guys LOVED what they did, and had no problem making excuses in every other facet of their lives in order to have more time to make music. And when it came to making music, they made zero excuses.
I think Brian Jones was musically gifted, more so than the others, but if any of them lacked anything in that regard, they more than filled any gaps with sheer determination.
-
My #6 comes from the collaboration of Tony Martin and Aldo Giuntini in the form of GIUNTINI PROJECT III (which was a bitch of an album to find but luckily did so few years ago as it is absolutely excellent!)
TUTMOSIS IV / TARANTULA
Tutmosis is a short atmospherical keyboard intro that leads into Tarantula which is a rather furious piece of guitar driven heavy metal. What I've always loved about Aldo is that unlike some other technical guitar players (like Steve Vai, Yngwie and so on) he doesn't do any wankery or fancy smanchy effects, he just plays the shit out of the guitar and this is a prime example of that!
Funny bit of totally irrelevant information, my Grandparents had that painting which the artwork for this album was taken from...well not the original (I assume) but a reproduction...but still, hung on the wall of their living room.
-
:headbanger: :headbanger: :headbanger: :headbanger: :headbanger: :headbanger:
Total shredder there, Charger! :yes:
My next selection I want to be #2 on my list, so close to the top spot you'll know it's a tough, tough choice.
Funkadelic - "Maggot Brain"
The studio recording used on the album had very low sound quality, but captured a monumental Eddie Hazel composition. He played the first half as though his mother had just died and the second half as though she came back to life, fully restored and joyful. When Michael Hampton stepped in to handle lead guitar duties, he took on the legacy of Maggot Brain and honored it beautifully. Played live is where I feel it shines the best, as the rest of the band is able to join in and the instrumental vibe connects with the audience and beyond.
This version, from Houston 1978, is one of the best in my opinion.
-
From Rick Wakeman's first solo outing, "The Six Wives of Henry VIII," we have the musical interpretation of what Rick felt Anne's character was. The suitably titled, "Anne of Cleves" at number five:
-
I still need to catch up on your picks... AAAAGGHH!!
Pick Number 6
Emerson, Lake and Palmer - Karn Evil 9: 2nd Impression
A really varied piece by the trio, starting jazzy/Latino, going slow and moody and then picking up the tempo again. Actually this was a tough choice as there's another fantastic instrumental on Brain Salad Surgery called Toccata (but not the same as the Sky tune I pusted earlier). If I get stuck for a 10th pick I might chuck it in.
-
I enjoy a lot of what ELP put down. Emerson's playing is so freakishly distinctive I swear I could hear him clink two bottles together and be able to identify him as the clinker.
-
^^^
Emerson was indeed unique, Palmer was pretty rare as well!
I'll let others catch up before posting my next pick.
-
Oh darn I thought we were all on #6 but you started the other way damnit!
Okay okay....
So my list #5 is a live only track from DEEP PURPLE
The Well Dressed Guitar started making appearances on the Orchestra tour back in 2001. It was honed and perfected later on and stayed in the setlist all the way up to 2016.
Brilliant piece of music, ofcourse mainly driven by Steve Morse's fabulous guitar playing but the whole band gets to jam the heck out of themselves on this one!
-
That's an excellent piece of work!
-
Oooh yes, most tasty Purple indeed!
Fitting that we're doing instrumentals today, as my voice is out, likely due to allergy changes with the change in seasons. I'll make a few honorable mentions and then get to my next top ten nomination!
HM #1: The Pink Panther Theme by Henry Mancini
One of the coolest of the cool 60's cool themes. Appeals to all ages and has a timeless playfulness in both the main theme and the rich sax solo. The orchestration is mellow, perfect for running a heist.
Speaking of heists, HM #2 would be The James Bond Theme by Monty Norman
Tell me you weren't somewhat pleased that I mentioned and linked the theme for Mr. Bond. Who's the next James Bond? When I play this song, it's *ME*, dammit! :smug:
Speaking of spies and danger and stuff like that... HM #3 is Soul Bossa Nova by Quincy Jones
Oh behaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaave! :D
Speaking of outrageous and irreverent comedy, there's this piece that featured in an episode of Father Ted: "Man Friday" by Syd Dale, done for the BBC music library and very effectively loaned out to Irish telly for the series:
"I was just asking Mrs. Doyle if I could put my massive tool in her box." :)
Then that tune reminded me of another HM fave of mine, this would be #5, Chris Joss' "The Man with a Suitcase"
but I would not have known that one without having heard Chris Joss' "Tune Down" in Better Call Saul:
In and out without any noise, trouble, dust, or fingerprints. The perfect second-story job.
They're not rock and roll, but they're some great instrumentals. Enjoy!
-
This one is my 7th top ten selection, it's a great track I discovered some years ago while looking for early rock and roll around the world. For some reason, the Japanese *really* got into surf guitar music. And so, I give you "Black Sand Beach" by Yuzo Kayama. It's a true guitar hero track, I love it and it never gets old:
Here's the original:
It's got a nice heaviness to it for 1965 and that's one clean, clean guitar line he's playing.
-
The post-WWII music scene in Japan up through at least the early 1990s (where my knowledge cuts off, and there's not much of that to begin with!) is chock-full of great stuff.
Number four is Fleetwood Mac's "Albatross" - I first heard it on the radio and then managed to get it on English Rose. For a long time I thought English Rose was a regular studio album, not a compilation. Oh, the day before the WWW!
Featuring Peter Green on guitar:
-
Sorry Charger, as I'm not really doing it in any order I'm going 1-10 rather than counting down!
Pick Number 7
Foetus - Diabolus In Musica
With an Indie / Industrial sound this tune relies heavily on percussion and strings. Frome a B sides, radio sessions and rarities album called Sink. I do like a bit JG Thirlwell's work!
-
Getting to the top of the crop now!
At #4 we have a track by RAINBOW
Yeah yeah...this isn't really a Rainbow song but they made it theirs plus it defeats the original with a K.O. in the first round. Suberb stuff here. Ofcourse the live versions with vocals rain supreme BUT this instrumental version is totally killer as well. I had this as my phone's ring tone for a loooooong time.
-
^ Strong agree on Blackmore's takeover of the Yardbirds tune. When I heard the original I was floored at how much better Blackmore had done with the tune. Complete transformation.
-
I've loved this song for only a few years, but it'll stay on my playlists for years to come.
David Gilmour - "Mihalis"
I've sung praises for Mr. Gilmour's first solo album previously, so all that still applies. :)
-
Still I'm Sad was on my radar but didn't quite make my 10.
Pick Number 8
Iced Earth - Ghost Dance (Awaken the Ancestors)
Off the album 'Incorruptible', this homage to Native Americans is just perfect.
-
Ok, in at číslo čtyři is Rush with their 1978 ode to Alex Lifeson's dreams, "La Villa Strangiato":
And after posting it, I note it is top of page four! If I was a believer in numerology I might attach some significance to that circumstance. But as it stands, </shrug>
-
^^^
Good choice. Saves me from choosing it (it was in the mix with a few other choices).
Top of page 4? I'm still on page 1!
-
Aha! I hadn't taken into account various settings that would change a person's "post per page" count. :)
-
Top of my page four here in Texas.
-
Page 4 here too...I think that was the basic setting...15 posts per page. Helps with the page load up speed.
Anyways..
Off to the TOP 3
At number 3 we have something that I already posted on the 10min plus thread...but it is just too good to leave out here.
DEATH ANGEL THE ULTRA VIOLENCE!!!
Hands down the best thrash metal instrumental out there. Hard to believe all of the guys were in their teens when they wrote this...and Andy was just 14 and he's drumming his ass off here!!
The intro part alone is suberb...and once the song really gets going...oh my lord! Fast and furious but with enough tempo changes to justify the 10 and half minutes of run time. Not a whole lot of repetetiveness here! Also not a dull moment present!
-
I was thinking I would find a Hawkwind instrumental to include but the one I really like is only about 2:20, and another has too much vocal on it towards to end. So instead of a Hawkwind tune I'll go with another Emerson, Lake and Palmer track I alluded to previously.
Pick Number 9
Emerson, Lake and Palmer - Toccata
To be fair I could just have easily chosen this over 2nd Impressions, it's really good and shows some of Palmers excellent persussion work quite nicely. This is quite jazzy and experimental but it seems to work.
-
That Death Angel track is hardcore awesome!
At number three, here is "Voice of the Soul" from Death's 1998 release The Sound of Perseverance. It was to be their last album, and this guitar-heavy instrumental is a solid contribution to the genre:
-
I counted that I've made 8 submissions, didn't do one yesterday, so I should do two today to round out my list of favorite rock instrumentals.
To be sure, if this was a list of jazz or funk instrumentals, I'd have those filled out completely, as well. Today, I shall rock!
Journey - "Nickel and Dime"
I believe the title has something to do with the 5/4 and 10/4 time signatures in the piece. :) This was my first Journey album without Steve Perry on it, and I loved the sweet mid-70s jamming hard rock on it. Should be no surprise that half these cats were also jamming with Santana back in the day, and look at the presence of Santana on this topic... This is one tight jam, I love it.
For my 10th choice, it's going to be...
Jethro Tull - "Bouree"
Yes, it's got classical and jazz touches, but the instrumental itself doth rock, and that maketh it good. :D
I'm happy with my list, lock it in!
-
And now a whole bunch of honorable mentions...
Travis Wammack is a guitar genius, check this guy out:
Give it some time and once you get into his sweet licks, you'll see why this guy was one of the hottest Memphis session players.
***
Can't forget this board's favorite trumpet player, RONNIE JAMES DIO!!! This track is such a monster from 1958. Metal as all get-out, I tell you what! :rockon:
***
This one reaches back to the 1940s Boogie Woogie... Camille Howard was tops on the keys, daddy-o!
That chick can jam and she's got a sweet chirp when she sings, too! This platter's going places, I tell ya! A real coin magnet!
***
When I mentioned hot session players, I remembered Dennis Coffey:
TIGHT track from Detroit, there!
***
And I leave with this fun ditty from some kooky kids in a band called "Megadeth", got a playful title on this one "Into the Lungs of Hell", whatta gas!
:headbanger: :headbanger: :headbanger: :headbanger: :headbanger:
-
#2 on my list is SAVATAGE
MOZART AND MADNESS comes from the suberb Dead Winter Dead album and it's an incredible piece of music.
The Mozart side comes with the softness of the piano and the cello and the madness of the Yugoslavian war comes from the band and the full orchestra.
Brilliant piece of music and the melody is just incredible here. The whole band is on fire with this one. An absolute masterpiece!
-
May of 1973 saw The Edgar Winter Group release their first long player They Only Come Out at Night. The last song on it is, "Frankenstein".
Here it be, at number two:
-

Here it be, at number two:
DA NA
NA NA
NA NA NA NAAAAAA
DA NA NA NA NA
:yes:
-
And then it's time for the top dog!
At number 1 we have IRON MAIDEN!!
Losfer Words (Big 'Orra) is their best instrumental and this holds a special place in my heart because it was among the very first tracks from Iron Maiden that I ever heard...and it was in MIDI format! Remember those? Hah! I played it on my computer quite often at the time. Went out and bought The X Factor album soon after and ofcourse the rest is history.
The riffing here is suberb and the song plays out just like a "regular" song with lyrics would which is something bit different from most instrumentals.
It was a tough battle between this one and Mozart And Madness but this has more of a history with me so that's why it got the pole position.
-
Love that IM song :)
Number One: "Moby Dick" by Led Zeppelin. Off of LZ II, it serves as a showcase for John Bonham's ability to hit drum heads real hard with drum sticks!
-
Final choice
Rush - Limbo
My second pick from Rush, and I decided not to go for an obvious choice like YYZ and go for a deeper cut. Limbo is from their Test For Echoes album, a very underrated album in my mind. The number of ranking videos I've seen where this is at or near the bottom is ridiculous! Anyhow, I like Limbo, I like the Dracula imagery in it!
So having done the list, what is my actual ranking? I'll go with...
10 - Trojans
09 - Theme One
08 - Tocatta (Sky)
07 - The Main Monkey Business
06 - Limbo
05 - Diabolus In Musica
04 - The Overture From Pigdom Come
03 - Tocatta (ELP)
02 - Ghost Dance
01 - Karn Evil 9 - 2nd Impression
I'll post a couple of honourable mentions and inadmissible ones tomorrow.
-
As I again limited myself to one song per band for this one naturally some had to be left out...
So I'll give out honerable mentions to
IRON MAIDEN - TRANSYLVANIA
From the first album. Another kick ass instrumental with great riff.
SAVATAGE - UNDERTURE
From the suberb Wake Of Magellan album. It's a bit of a medley featuring stuff from all the songs on the album but it also has a lot of original stuff there...kind of like Imaginaerum was.
DEEP PURPLE - WRING THAT NECK
From Purple's second album and one the few great tracks from the pre-Gillan era....mainly ofcourse because you can't hear Rod Evans anywhere!
-
...mainly of course because you can't hear Rod Evans anywhere!
Hahahaha, love it. I think Mr. Evans has a fine singing voice - one that is more suited to something that Billy Joel might compose. Or Barry Manilow.
Honorable Mentions for me include:
Hot Smoke and Sassafras by Bubble Puppy:
Hot Butter's rendition of Popcorn:
Merciless Onslaught by Metal Church:
The others have already been posted by someone else in this thread or escape my mind at this moment.
-
Well well well....
What's next then? He cautiously asked...
-
Christmas songs?
-
:nono:
:nono:
:nono:
:nono:
NO!
-
I'll put you down for a "maybe", then. :smug:
-
I vote no as well - I like two Christmas songs, so my list would be real short lol.
-
Best 1970s theme songs from TV shows and movies?
-
I was thinking about songs which referenced places, as in countries / states / counties / towns or cities etc. Not necessarily in the title, it could be the theme of the song. I think more specific things like streets / venues and so on could be left for another occasion.
I have enough songs for a Christmas game but I'd rather not!
-
I like songs about places. Could do hundreds about Texas, but that's because it's Texas and everyone here likes to sing about the place. :smug:
-
Hmmm...places...do fictional places and/or mythical places count? Otherwise I might be struggling a bit...
-
Sure, any place counts.
(Everybody looks at "Xanadu" by Rush...)
-
Xanadu is not a fictional place!! ;)
-
I'm posting this from Xanadu.
-
Well I'll be screwed blewed and tattooed, never knew it was for reals. I stand corrected.
-
Ok then, it sounds like we are all onboard with "Songs About Locales"? Any specific rules besides what has been bandied about so far?
Any length, and unless I am misunderstanding KDC's thoughts, something like "South Street" by the Orlons would be out, but "Detroit Rock City" by Kiss would be in?
Easy Street by the Collapsable Hearts Club - OUT
Warwick Avenue by Duffy - OUT
In a Big Country by Big Country - IN
Heaven is a Place on Earth by Belinda Carlisle - IN
Let me know :)
-
I'm thinking along the same lines. No streets on this run, we want cities or counties or larger.
That being said, there are songs about small towns like ZZ Top's La Grange...
-
I was basically thinking about doing streets and venues as a separate game.
Vyn's rules are about right, I'm happy to include fictional places if that's easier... in fact I insist on it as I've thought of some good ones! I don't think length of song should be relevant for this sort of game.
-
Very well. This is probably going to be one of the harder ones!
