List Your Favorite Instrumental Pieces courtesy of Music Listography : Your Life In (Play)Lists

Editor’s Note: I am a lyrics girl, without a doubt and without pause, that is who I am. Consequently, this list challenge was a bit of a struggle, but I did come up with a mixture of classical, indie and movie scores that I do love. Even still, this list will be shorter than probably any other during this project (20 songs).
