Warning: predictable. 
You can’t have this discussion without the Allman Brothers. In Memory of Elizabeth Reed, Hot’Lanta, Mountain Jam, High Falls, True Gravity… the list goes on.

Of course, the “rock” label may be stretched a bit here.
Fugazi - Arpeggiator
The best guitar interplay I have ever heard. Definately my favorite instrumental.
Little Wing, the Stevie Ray version.
A lot of past and present surf guitar rock is instrumental. Some of the more notable artists include:
-Dick Dale
-The Ventures
-Man… or Astroman?
Outside of that, there’s:
-Duane Eddy
-Junior Walker
Jimi Hendrix also did a few instrumentals.

The Champs - T*q**la
(I can’t write the song’s title here. It’d be a violation of the board policy prohibiting posting a song’s complete lyrics.)
The Trans Siberian Orchestra’s Carol of the Bells
Been talking about this with my roommate recently.
Overture from Tommy by The Who is, in my opinion, one of the best rock instrumentals out there.
Both “Oscillate Wildly” and “Money Changes Everything” by The Smiths.
“Perfidia” – I adore that!
Anyone here familiar with the Portsmith Symphonia? Anyone can join up, it doesn’t matter if you can play a lick, and they have performed and recorded at tempo a number of well known tunes – like the Overture to Tommy – and they HAVE to be well known tunes, cos you sure as heck won’t recognise them!
I have some of their, er, works on a cd called Dead Parrot Society (which also has Monty Python skits and Peter Cook/Dudley Moore things), but I don’t know if it’s still in print…if I remember the editor’s notes in the booklet, even he said he had to listen to the PS’s selections a few times before he could figure out what they were trying to play…
cheers,

:smack: Sorry about the bad link. Go here to find out more about instrumental rock.
Actually, I do have some stuff by Vanessa-Mae, but I was referring to groups (or individuals) who do not do only instrumental music. Still, great list so far!
“Crystals” by Heroic Doses
I’m a sucker for pretty much any instrumental on any Genesis album, especially the ones in “Firth of Fifth,” and “The Colony of Slippermen.”
And, though lowbrow by comparison, I adore Camper Van Beethoven’s instrumentals. I made a mix tape once of just their great instrumentals.
