Oh and 12. YYZ!   How did this not make the first ten? I get La Villa is probably the bigger favorite around here but YYZ is also a certified classic.

_hi_water._
_hi_water._

Exactly what turns me off from looking at these kind of lists

The Police - "Behind My Camel"

 

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XaP2h7ZP5D0

 

In Chris Campion's Police biography Walking on the Moon, Police producer Nigel Gray believes that the title was an in-joke by Andy Summers:

 

"He didn't tell me this himself but I'm 98% sure the reason is this: what would you find behind a camel? A monumental pile of shit."

 

In relation to the theme, "Camel's Night Out" and "Pavilion" by Eric Johnson.

I'm hoping that this is more than just rock instrumentals.

 

Here's a few classic Canadian instrumentals I'm including that may seem out of left field for some.

 

Percy Faith & His Orchestra - Theme From A Summer Place

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fRV0yHiEua8

 

Hagood Hardy - The Homecoming

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UOZNAGFCQNo

 

Frank Mills - Music Box Dancer

I prefer Andy's effort on 'Hot Camel' on the Circus Hero album
