OK, there was a song on the stereo last night, old 70s/80s instrumental, it was/is popular and the music sounds very similar to Rush - Tom Sawyer.

Any help here my youngest wants it.

Nice work! That would be an excellent guess. Funny I didn't think of it. I must have heard it at least a million times.

If it's not Winter's "Frankenstein", maybe it's "Hocus Pocus" by Focus.

Two of my favourite songs as a kid.

I had Frankenstein (if I recall) on 45. I listened to that song over, and over and over. I probably know it better than Edgar Winter.

That's the one I was trying to think of but couldn't remember the name.

You said it sounds like Rush, could it be YYZ or La Villa Strangiato?

My 5 year old thanks you, I think he had a booger on his finger but it's the thought that counts.

That was an excellent call then. That sounds nothing like Rush.

This song always reminds me of My name is Earl, one of the only TV shows I would actually take the time to watch if it's on.

I was thinking Stranglehold by Nugent.

But that's maybe just cuz I'm under the influence of certain substances.

he did say in the OP that it was an "instrumental", which means "no words" to me... so i linked up the only 70's instrumental that i could think of... but i couldn't remember the name, either, so i googled "70's instrumental" or something like that and it was the first result..
