Awesome thread. I had exactly the same thing going on before I got into modern surf. Here's one of mine.

The Mystery Men?
El Capitan and The Reluctant Sadists
SSS Agent #31

Not a surf band, but have some surf licks. Hematovore might be my all-time favorite non-surf instrumental band.

THE KBK ... This is the last known signal. We offer Sanctuary.

Non surf? Riviera Paradise - SRV

Canon Rock. Warts and all, I absolutely love this! I capped and converted this to MP3 so I could hear it in the car, too!

A bit closer to home, James Wilsey's wonderful El Dorado.

Honorable mention to Ken Woodman's "Mexican Flyer":

That was excessively violent and completely unnecessary. I loved it.

No 1 is Moonlight sonata :

I have also always had a fasination for spagetti western music

Like the rest of you, there's probably too many to list easily, but just off the top of my head I've always enjoyed these (the last one's been my unofficial theme song for years):

I also always thought this Stray Cats song would have made a great theme for a spy movie soundtrack.
