1. Helloween's "Les Hambourgeois Walkways"/SAS-Band's "In Ewiger Liebe" (I can't decide which version of the song I like more - both have Michael Weikath just being awesome)

2. Deep Purple's "Son of Alerik"

3. Steve Vai's "I'm the Hell Outta Here"

IDK about favorites, but these are the three that left the biggest impression on me:

 

Frank Zappa - Peaches En Regalia

Opeth - Ending Credits

Porcupine Tree - Burning Sky

I guess I have to be careful with my choices because I am a fusion fan and could list several Mahavishnu, Return to Forever, Billy Cobham, Bruford, Chick Corea, Brand X, Dixie Dregs, Weather Report, etc. songs that rock harder than most "rock" bands

 

Also, "rock" bands that are primarily instrumental have too many great choices to narrow down my favorites (The Aristocrats, Steve Vai, Jeff Beck, Focus, Yngwie)

 

anyway, among "rock" bands that are primarily non-instrumental

 

1.) La Villa (on odd days), YYZ (on even days)

2.) King Crimson - "Level Five" (Monday, Wednesday, Fridays) Larks Tongues in Aspic II (Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday.) Larks Tongues I (Sundays.) Red (Every day), Fracture

3.) Allman Brothers - In Memory of Elizabeth Reed (January - May), Jessica (June - December)

 

Honorable mentions to:

 

Frank Zappa lots - maybe Peaches or Watermelon

Dream Theater - Dance of Eternity (an insane collection of time signatures!)

Steven Wilson - Vermillioncore

ELO - Fire on High (always loved this jam)

ELP - Hoedown, Fanfare, Pictures at..

ELQ (just kidding)

Opeth - Ending Credits

Yes - Heart of the Sunrise (ok, it does have vocals among the incredible instrumental awesomeness)
