Help with an instrumental rock mix CD.
Looking for ideas of things to put on a mix CD of rock instrumentals. Anyone have suggestions?
Here's what I have so far:
Allmans - Liz Reed (studio)
Cream - Steppin' Out
Santana - Samba Pa Ti
Eric Johnson - Cliffs of Dover
this ELO instrumental - the name is entirely escaping me right now.
SRV - Little Wing?
Rush - YYZ? Something else?
Point me in the right direction.

Clutch - "Small Upsetters"
Clutch - "Wysiwyg"
Gov't Mule - "3 String George"
Little Wing may be too slow, go for these SRV greats. . .
Stevie Ray Vaughan - "Testify"
Stevie Ray Vaughan - "Rude Mood"
Also some short but cool ones. . .
Cake - "Arco Arena"
Bouncing Souls - "The Screamer"
Clutch - "Wysiwyg"
Gov't Mule - "3 String George"

I would also recommend "House of the Bullets" from Satch's Crystal Planet CD.Other ideas:
Battle Without Honor or Humanity - Tomoyasu Hotei (from Kill Bill Vol. 1 and a bunch of commercials)
Malignant Narcissism - Rush
Jaws of Life - John Pertucci
Wizards in Winter - Trans Siberian Orchestra (used in the youtube video with all the christmas lights)

I'm guessing the ELO song is "Fire on High".
Rhino released a five volume rock instrumental set that is amazing, but might not be exactly what you are looking for. You can get the discs separately though.

Also, if you like post-Rush prog/hard rock/metal, Mew's "Circuitry of the Wolf" is a killer instrumental lead-off track.:

I thought I'd list the more "commonly known" songs is all. My personal favorites are "I Would Love To", "Sisters", and "Answers/The Riddle".

Most of the stuff by Man or Astroman, but it can be kind've spacy/ethereal sounding.
Would Dick Dale work for a lil' surf-rock vibe?
Beachwood Sparks' "Ballad of Never Rider" would work too.
