**Instrumental Pieces in Rock and Pop Albums** 1. Prelude 12 - Styx (on the _Equinox_ album) 2. Horizons - Genesis (on the _Foxtrot_ album) 3. Flying - The Beatles (on the _Magical Mystery Tour_ album) 4. Wedding Cake Island - Midnight Oil (on _Bird Noises,_ 1980) 5. Surphase Tension - Hot Tuna (on the _Yellow Fever_ album) 6. Pet Sounds - The Beach Boys (on _Pet Sounds_, of course) 7. Durango 95 - The Ramones (On the _Too Tough To Die_ album) 56 seconds long, named after the car in _A Clockwork Orange_ and with sections that are in 7/4 time. Kind of remarkable for a band who had to count to 4 before every song. ---
