@ Woodroar: before you remove a lot of work another editor has done to alert them to the fact that you'd like to see a reference or references. I just started this section because the article needs sourced material and a more organized way of presenting a lot of material, and had spent most of Christmas Day doing it, but had not quite figured out where to put the sources, which are, Whitburn, Joel The Billboard Book of Top 40 Hits, Billboard Books, New York, 1992, Whitburn, Joel, The Billboard Book of TOP 40 R&B and Hip Hop Hits, Billboard Books, New York 2006, and Brown, Tony, Jon Kutner & Neil Warwick, The Complete Book of the British Charts: Singles and Albums, Omnibus Press, London, 2002. If I reference every entry it will get very messy Feel free to offer a suggestion. Carptrash ( talk) 16:03, 26 December 2017 (UTC)
because although it might appeal to some rock fans it is not rock music so out of the scope of this article. Carptrash ( talk) 04:26, 27 December 2017 (UTC)
As I mentioned a couple sections above, I'm wondering if we should spin-off the "1950s and 1960s chartings" section into its own article, maybe List of charting instrumental rock songs or something similar? It's encyclopedic information, but such specific detail is pretty UNDUE for a general article like this. Ideas? Woodroar ( talk) 02:57, 3 January 2018 (UTC)
The entire "Instrumentals by vocal artists" section strikes me as original research. Carptrash, do you know of any third-party sources that consider these songs particularly prominent examples of instrumental rock? I'm asking because the sources that I'm familiar with tend to focus on exclusively instrumental bands, though they'll usually include bands that record an occasional song with vocals (say, Pelican). Sometimes they will mention bands known for their extended instrumental tracks ( The Allman Brothers Band, Metallica, and Phish come to mind) but not much else.
