The 1970's was a great decade where it was possible for rock instrumentals to make it to a mainstream audience. There are also countless excellent instrumentals out there that are either very obscure, or only had any popularity in their native country.
Excellent albums with instrumentals are still being made today. They are just not going to be on any major label.

the keyboard players of the 70s are awe inspiring - one hand on each keyboard and one foot on the moog keyboard bass while their head is completely turned to face the other band members to stay in sync and THEY NEVER MISS A FREAKING NOTE!

Well if you include keyboard players, there's the theme to weekend world, and the theme to world in action.
