Chopped In Half - Obituary

Ah hahahahahaha

Compared to songs with titles like “Entrails ripped from a virgin’s cunt” that’s pretty tame

Blasphemer - Sodom

The Face of Melinda - Opeth

Damnation (Raping The Angels) - Impaled Nazarene

“Gun Shop/Reese in Alley” by Brad Fiedel.

To paraphrase Bingowings (I think), it ain’t a song if it ain’t got words.

And he’s absotively correct.

Still, until someone creates a “Last Instrumental You Listened To” thread, I shall lump them in here.

I never knew that a song without words wasn’t a song. Especially when you have songs that are almost entirely instrumentals with one line of lyric placed somewhere in the midst (like Magnum Opus by Kansas). I’ve always used instrumental as a specifier of a given song.

Instrumental is almost always written next to the title on the back of albums. Albums don’t exist anymore though, at least not in a physical form.

Yeah, instrumental is written as a specifier, but I was never under the impression that meant it could’t be called a song.

So do I. That’s what I was wondering about (“Why is it incorrect to call an instrumental song a song?”).

So do I. I was just tweaking DE based on something Bingo said that never really bothered me.

Fuck that coming from you.

Erm, ok.

At The Sound of The Demon Bell - Mercyful Fate

Hey wait a minute, there’s one I’ve actually heard. Well, not really, but King Diamond is the lead singer, right? I had a roommate in college that got me into Them (and Conspiracy to a lesser extent) for a little while.

Not officially.

The Pope of the thread has now blessed instrumental “songs.” Go in peace.

Yep

Melissa and Don’t Break The Oath are great albums. But those are the only two I heard from them.

I call every piece of music a song, but the very definition of a “song” is lyrical.

EDIT: As in a song is a set of lyrics.

Never heard of them so they probably aren’t any good.

I haven’t heard a lot of the music you’ve posted ITT so by that logic…

I know this came up before, but for some reason I’m a big fan of both ABACAB and Invisible Touch, but never cared much for that album. Though I do like that song.

We Can’t Dance had some good songs but signaled the beginning of the end.

Exactly. Few people know who Nick Drake was, but he made excellent music.
