Sometimes I like to guess what a band is thinking when they are making instrumental songs or even long passages of play and don't need a vocalist to almost 'explain' how they are feeling. I can gain my own interpretation from the music they play.

A saxophone solo dropped into a song (even though it's not the height of cool) can say so much more than a vocalist at times.

I have found some 2 minute instrumentals on albums more satisfying than the 30 odd minutes with vocals surrounding it.
