Absolutely, but when discussing music, it's nice to provide an example of what you're referencing.

I'm partial to Baroque music, of which Bach is the master IMO.
Modern instrumentals are great too. Paul Hindemith is a favorite who fused modern harmonies with baroque-like counterpoint.
I enjoy a genre sometimes called 'math rock' that usually consists of talented instrumentalists having fun with time signatures. Tera Melos, Don Caballero, and By the End of Tonight are some examples. Mahavishnu Orchestra was awesome too.

Mozart's requiem.....
I can listen to that over and over and over and over again....
as far as modern music goes there is numerous:
Godspeed you black emperor, Eluvium, Jesu, dark ambient examples tor lundvall, coil
eschatological music or neo folk: current 93, sol invictus etc etc
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OP2mpnBuZWI
there is of course neo classical genre...of whioch the Band Unto Ashes is a fave thsi band from New York City employed a classicaly trained Opera singer, violinists, hurdy gurdy etc etc...and drew references from modern paganism, death /black metal......and one to put Crowley's Hymn to Pan to music....
electronica... I particularly like the minimalistic output of bands like Pan Sonic...and of course Throbbing Gristle.

I love Brahms Hungarian Dance No. 5.
I don't know why, but it takes me straight to a place where dust swirls slowly in a beam of afternoon sunlight. A room with heavy furnishings and weighty curtains, sash windows and bone china. I was never physically in this room, but Brahms takes me there

am currently listening to Tchaikovsky's Symphony No. 6 in B Minor, Op. 74 'Pathétique'

Musopen - Music Overview Page
they have a pretty good selection of music.

Music has it's own syntax.
There is nothing like instrumental music that takes you on a fabulous ride,
a most awesome journey.
I like SO MUCH instrumental only music
there's no point in beginning a list.
Actually I generally like instrumental only music MORE
than music with lyrics.
Often it is the Lyrics themSelves that make a song.
Instrumental music must stand on it's own
and as a result is often actually more interesting
and wonderfully complex,
on a purely musical level.
(that's not to say of course that there isn't wonderfully interesting music with vocals/vocal parts.
I'm just making a general statement. )
