    Are you trying to tell me that you can get music without guitars in?! I thought that was just urban legend.
    Always be yourself! Unless you can be Batman, in which case always be Batman.
    My boss told me "dress for the job you want, not the job you have"... now I'm sat in a disciplinary meeting dressed as Batman.

    Atomic Rooster, The Nice, ELP, a lot of Rick Wakeman's solo output, Ekseption ...

    some of which may contain traces of guitar ...

    These 2 spring to mind, although there is a shitload of classic synth pop music with no guitar



    (EDIT: actually, listening nice and loud this one actually got a tiny bit low in the mix. Feh!)

    Way too much to list individually... I might actually like more music *without* guitars in it than with.

    Enola Gay is a good shout for just one though.

    +1 for 'Enola Gay' (and I'll add 'Messages' too)

    In less poppy territory, 'Man-Erg' and 'A Plague Of Lighthouse Keepers' by Van Der Graaf Generator

    I like a lot of Gill Scott Heron, not sure there's much ( any?) guitar in his entire catalogue, some of it was spoken word and percussion, lots of keyboards, bass, flute,all sorts. I'm generally less keen on anything that's primarily synths or samples but some Human League or OMD is good for a bop.

    Messiah, by GF Haendel
    St Matthew Passion by JS Bach

    and similar

    ... they're more musicals than single songs. But there's lots of vocals and no guitar
