Best SID instrument?

Well, topic kinda says all.
The tune itself doesn't have to be good at all, only the instrument(s). ;)

'Impulse' by Taki has some pretty awesome 16x drums.
And just to make it a bit less complicated to choose instruments: NO SAMPLES.

Nice ones folks :)

http://www.c64.org/HVSC/MUSICIANS/G/Galway_Martin/Times_of_Lore (subtune1) - Actually, it emulates guitar, I learned so many things about playing back in the time and that's it. Different picking positions. Switching neck and bridge pickups. Some applied picking techniques. Realistic bending and vibrato. You can hear frets as you pull down your fingers on the fretboard. Even distorted bass guitar. Tried it all while playing along...

http://www.c64.org/HVSC/MUSICIANS/G/Galway_Martin/Game_Over.sid - despite the fact that it probably never sounded exact on my 8580 SID, the filter mayhem (especially at the end) was the most inspiring thing I've ever heard on C64. Emulators kill that tune.

http://www.c64.org/HVSC/MUSICIANS/T/Tel_Jeroen/Invest_intro - Lots of non-C64 multispeed sounds from the golden age. You know the man.

http://www.c64.org/HVSC/MUSICIANS/A/Agemixer/Da_Shit_Eastwood_J.. - Can you hear ya violins and smell the dung? yeee-haa :)

http://www.c64.org/HVSC/MUSICIANS/A/Agemixer/National_Park_jong.. - Pretty minimal but as far as you can go with djideridoo, it is pretty close.

http://www.c64.org/HVSC/MUSICIANS/J/Jammer/Broken_Circuits_Part.. - Lots of my fav 'better-than-sampling' contemporary sounds were created by Jammer (Mr Marvellous, Hot Mommas, Club Stylier, Floatee, my Own Hyperspace etc-etc-etc) but Black Spark tunes contain a shocking amount of SID rape, even for me :)

http://www.c64.org/HVSC/MUSICIANS/W/Wacek/Artificial_Intelligen.. - Among so many inspiring sounds by Wackee, the intro of this one is unearthly. Can you hear the SID bleeding?

Ghost Escapes Body (Kjell Nordbo) - At the end of this demo, the C64 dies (deletes memory realtime) while SID is still engaged and screaming digital agony as it tries to find meaning in between the irreversibly collapsing data patterns. One of the most staggering moments I've ever experienced on C64. After it reached SID registers and sounds stopped, I stared at the blank screen for a while before turning off the power.

http://www.c64.org/HVSC/MUSICIANS/T/Taxim/Keine_Musik.sid - Gritty SID at best, oooozes guitar riffs.

http://www.c64.org/HVSC/MUSICIANS/R/Randall/Ill_Be_a_Pimp_in_Ca.. - Hi-Finesse, great clarity and mixing. Okay this thread is not about melody but what a catchy one for that!

sure thing i forgot a lot, forgive me:
Intrinsic - in terms of clarity and mixing, i'd say Conrad is the master. almost all of his tunes, except the earliest, are the very definition of hi-fi sound. here, for example.
Automatas - _all_ instruments are unbelievable. not a chipmusic anymore, but a piece of real electronica.
Last Aproach - same applies to this one.
Drop it - and this one. suffice to say it has won an mp3 compo on some party.
Egy Szippantas a jobol - the kick drum makes me envious. also check: Together Before.
Patterns - the whole drumset, snare in particular, makes me a retard.
Evolver 6581 - ORGEL sounds in here, well, what can i say.
Manky - The Toilet Warrior - scream!!! i'm scared.
Electric Jesus - looking for a completely new sound palette? heeere.
and of course almost everything Linus and Jammer do these days :)

The best didgeridoo ever. Period.
