After the Ordeal is a beauty isn't it.  I would probably rank it at 11.
 
Stackridge produced a couple of classy instrumentals -
 
1. God Speed the Plough (from 'The Man in the Bowler Hat' )
 
2. Purple Spaceships Over Yatton  (not released on an original album but, incredibly, was the B side of a single. It is on their current "best of" CD)

Well, my top instrumental of all time is Pacabel's "Canon in D," but, in the meantime, I'll have to give this some thought...
