I forgot about Green Onions! That should have been on my list. I wish music today was as good as it was in 1962.

4. The Ventures - Walk Don't Run
t5. Rob Dougan - Clubbed to Death

John Petrucci is god but I don't want to go into detail about that :beer:

Other than that, I can't believe Steve Vai hasn't been mentioned yet. He is the king of instrumentals. Yngwie Malmsteen is excellent too for instrumentals.
