I've always liked Herb Alpert & The Tijuana Brass does anyone else.
The Lonely Bull
A Taste Of Honey
Whipped Cream are my favorites.

Also I think my favorite decade for instrumentals is the 1960's,they had so many great songs
Green Onions-Booker T & The MG's
Theme From A Summer Place-Percy Faith
The Stripper- David Rose
Theme From The Exodus-Ferrante & Teicher
Wonderland By Night- Bert Kaempfert
Telstar- Tornados
Wipeout-The Sufaris
Classical Gas- Mason Williams
Love Is Blue-Paul Mauriat
Theme From Hawaii Five O -Ventures
Pipeline-Chantays
Grazing In The Grass -Hugh Maskela
Walk In The Black Forest -Horst Jankowski
Heck even the theme from Batman was cool.
I almost forgot the theme from The Good The Bad & The Ugly-Hugo Montengro

I like The Lonely Bull, A Taste of Honey an This Guy's In Love With You.

I also really like 60's instrumental music, it may even require its own separate thread.  ;)

I was begining to think nobody ever heard of them ;D
I listen to Pandora online radio and listen to 60's instrumental music quite a bit.

I love surf instrumental rock.

Dick Dale was the Eddie Van Halen of the early 1960's, but he never quite broke out nationally. 

Over the years, Herb's probably become more well-known as the hugely successful record company executive (he was the 'A' in 'A&M') than the entertaining trumpet player...

There's only a handful of his stuff I don't care for (the 80s dance stuff was a bit of a mistake!)

And given his limited vocal range, 'This Guy...' should never have worked...but somehow it did! Wonderfully!  :)

Love them all, brings back memories of the childhood in the 60s for me, especially Casino Royale.

How did I forget Dick Dale and Misirlou.
Another fav who was in the 50's and 60's is Duane Edddy

Good times indeed.

...which was more late 70s than anything else, but a colossus compared to the late-80s stuff ('Diamonds', 'Keep Your Eye On Me', that sort of thing) which, if you've not heard them, then you're not really missing much! Typical late-80s dance pap, to be honest!

Of anything Herb Alpert has done, my favourite will always be 1981's 'Route 101' 8)

Loved them all !

My parents had this http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/ciu/fb/4f/7b89e03ae7a0472ae8d3b110.L.jpg
album when I was growing up and I always loved to listen to it  :)

It was a classic.

Technically they do.  Herb re-issued that on CD in 2006 in a new version with an updated album sleeve ...

There is a market for it then?

My mother listened to Herb all of my life, she had all of his records and I just had to buy her another stereo with turntable so she could still listen to her vinyl.


I actually never appreciated them till now when I do not here them everyday, and I think how beautiful they sound.  I have even started collecting them on my iPod

She also had albums of :
Ferrante and Teicher
Baja Marimba Band
Boston Pops (1960's band leader)
Chet Atkins -I always thought he was an odd mix in the group - but she had several of his albums, and played them regularly

and I am sure so many more that I can not even remember.

Thanks for the trip down memory lane ;D

That is a very nice mix. Your mom must of liked Mr. Atkins guitar style. :)

Her name is Dolores Erickson, a model, she's in a white sheet with shaving cream splatered over it, whipped cream would have melted under the lights, but the whipped cream was used on her head.

How about a little Al Hirt?  ;)

Someone in my family had this album (don't know if it was my parents or my brother). I remember spending HOURS (or so it seemed) just looking at that cover.

That one would be my vote too, but it seems that the poll was opened for a limited time :(
