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.

Haven't thought so much about this, but have to agree with Steppe and PAL on that FAME tune. Listened to it just for the whistle. A very good tune too. Had to check the music driver back then I remember, it does some quick pitch slides checking high notes in the vibrato routine. Clever done and gives the little extra lively expressions in the sound.
Also Cybernoid snare drum (thinking nostalgi, have to come back to new stuff later, thinking Linus:), back in 1988 that was a really good snare. lol ;) |

What a great topic!
I've always liked the ring modulated (?) lead on this one, especially in the bit starting from 3:20...

Back in 1991 it sounded like nothing else I had previously heard coming out of SID. Still one of my all time favorites. |

I agree with pmc, the bass in Sinful is really a double bass like tone... I recently bought a real upright/acoustic bass, and I've had the thought a while ago to remix Sinful with it :) I'm already able to play the main theme, but I had not enough
time recently to start the remix...
On percussion side, the bassdrum, clap and cymbal together is very realistic in Thiefklang (by Gangstar in Plush demo).
Apart from realistic tones, the ringmodulated sweep of the relaxation part in the middle of Compleeto is very unique before doubled-fast-bassy part. I can smell it, not joking, I feel a smell of animal corpse while listening to it ;S
(Interesting, but sometimes there's interference between different human senses. We often feel a tone 'materialistic' or we visualize it inside. At least me and some of my friends tell this.)

Nearly forgot about awesome sounding classic:
http://hvsc.perff.dk/MUSICIANS/O/Orcan/Mexico.sid - orgy of brilliantly filtered percussion
Add to that anything by LMan - it's no use to focus on separate instruments and tunes as almost everything shines in that department :D |

Those LMan tunes... I can recognise many classic synths and sounds from there. And they're done on a damn SID. :O
Thanks for the tip Jammer!
