.3 is most definitely not an instrumental, though PT has had some amazing instrumentals (Tinto Brass, Oceans Have No Memory, Untitled, Burning Sky, Up the Downstair, about 10 songs from On the Sunday of Life).

Right now I'm going to go with... Jordrok by Anglagard.

Harmonium: Histoires sans paroles.

Focus: Birth, Hamburger Concerto.
King Crimson: Larks Toungues in Aspik 2.
ELP: Toccatta.
Rick Wakeman: Catherine of Aragon, Judas Iscariot, and there's an instrumental version of Arthur that I really like a lot.
Dream Theater: Stream of Conciousness.
Apocalyptica: Romance, Pray, Somewhere around nothing, Toreador 2.
Metallica: The Call of Ktulu.
Vangelis: Conquest of Paradise.
Alan Parson's Project: The fall of the House of Usher 2, 3, 4 & 5, I Robot, Genesis Ch 1 V 32, In the Lap of the Gods.

If we're talking here about bands that "normally" do have vocals, then I'd say:

Rush- YYZ and La Villa Strangiato
Suspyre - Galactic Backward Movement
Santana - Song of the Wind
Arena - Riding the Tide
Metallica - Call of the Ktulu
Riverside - all Reality Dream tracks

But what about the genres of electronic prog like Tangerine Dream and Klaus Schulze or post rock? They are all allmost without vocals... I could fill a whole page with great instrumentals from there genres...
