Pretty self-explanatory, what do you think of instrumentals in music? Or totally instrumental pieces? I personally love a good instrumental if they are done right. My favourite instrumental is probably the one in Comfortably Numb by Pink Floyd.

Not sure you totally understand "instrumental" (since only 1 or your 3 examples is)... but a good instrumental is OK for the odd change to the usual stuff a band might put out but not sure most of the rubbish I listen to would be improved by more instrumentals (even Floyd/Gilmour ; Gilmour's Lets Get Metaphysical is about the best of that stuff - but the new Floyd album is almost all instrumental, and perhaps eminently forgettable because of it.)

Pink Floyd's instrumental soundscapes are by far my favorite. Especially those in Obscured by Clouds.

Perhaps I wasn't clear enough, I mean songs that have instrumental pieces in, as well as the proper instrumentals like Telstar.

I love instrumental parts <3 I might even say that I prefer instruments over vocals. I love classical music, video game music, guitar solos, and that kind of stuff. That's not to say that I don't like singing though!

I love a good instrumental!

Waltzinblack sounds like it should be played in every seaside amusement park!

I listen to nothing but dance music so I'm used to them. Get pissed off when people are in my car and complaining that I "don't have any songs with lyrics on".

I love Instrumentals in both the ways defined in this thread. There are lots of good instrumentals songs out there.
Such as:

One Of These Days - Pink Floyd (although there is one line of speech in this song)

Orion - Metallica

The Call of Ktulu - Metallica

Second Home By The Sea - Genesis

Just a few of my favourites there.
I don't like instrumentals such as 'dub step' or house music.
