I like Jethro Tull's take on Bach's Bouree in Em a lot. I sadly can't think of any other vocal acts offhand who have done any instrumentals worth a damn and haven't been mentioned yet.
Edit: Oh yeah, the Beach Boys "Let's Go Away for Awhile" is also awesome.

Oh hell yes. 1up for
The Crime Scene among others.
Of groups that usually employ singing I generally enjoy the instrumentals of Lamb (try
Soft Mistake or
Five). Massive Attack's are generally worth a earful too (
Heatmiser for instance)
ummm... Alice in Chains
Whale and WaspThe Eagles,
Journey of a Sorcererdoes a lack of words permit Goldfrapp's
Felt Mountain I wonder.
I haven't got much else springing to mind at the moment. If it were genuinely instrumental stuff I could go on for hours.

The Allman Brothers Band - Jessica
The song suddenly popped into my head. It's not even a song I particularly love. But it really sticks in my head, and I like playing it. Anyway, this thread is turning into classic instrumental tracks, and this is one.
Similarly, if scumble is allowed to list Crazy Diamond, then I'd add the last instrumental half of Eric Clapton's Layla, which anyway segues into almost a completely different track anyway. Also incredibly catchy and a classic instrumental riff.
Edit: oh, and Sleepwalk ... esp I like the Brian Setzer interpretation.

The instrumental version of Wicked Game by Chris Isaak (final track on the album of the same name) is bloody fantastic. Song has a very haunting sound to it without words in there.

I'd suggest some others of ELP's, such as The Barbarian or Tank, although listening to it, Tank has a rather dull drum solo in the middle...
Also, perhaps Revolution 9 on the Beatles' White album, assuming a tape recorder is classed as an instrument.

At the moment, Opeth - Patterns in the ivy.

Here are some more NIN instrumentals
A warm place
La mer
The mark had been made
I gave those tracks a chance, with the exception of A warm place (all 2.5 minutes of it) they were average.
So maybe they arn't the horrible singing cum stains that I thought. But that doesn't impress me much.
Maybe I just don't get it :(

Maybe.

That's probably one of my favorite instrumental songs...

The Deus Ex main theme is generally considered to be one of the worst game tunes in history. I concur.
