Just thinking about the fact that all modern popular music has lyrics. There is very little popular music without a singer. And then it's just one or two pieces by a group that normally has lyrics (like Metallica's Orion).
Compared that to the times of Bach and Beethoven when orchestral was the most popular. Even movie scores (the last home of orchestral music) are no where near as popular as the "inspired by the movie" soundtracks.
Are there any "underground" bands you listen to that DON'T have a singer? No lyrics?
