The first 6:50 of Rockets Fall On Rocket Falls by Godspeed You! Black Emperor are catchy to me for some reason. I love the tune and the way it builds up.
And I shall check out the songs from those lists that I haven't got already, since there are some artists I really like on there, like Prefuse 73, Ambulance LTD, Mogwai, Broken Social Scene, RJD2, and Four Tet.

All my stuff is instrumental.
Some people say some of it is catchy.
>_>
A Day In Black And White - The Illusion To The End
is the best instrumental I've heard. The drumbeats is what makes it so incredible.

Add to that "Textures" - Cynic. Not necessarily catchy, but a very beautiful song.

I have "Honey, You're Wasting Ammo" and it's the only thing I've heard from them other than the "Kids in the Hall" theme song. Both are great :)

Yeah, I'm pretty upset about never being able to find their albums in stores.
Anyway, sound Tribe Sector 9 has some great instrumentals.

Ornette Coleman - Blues Connotation
The album it's on is overall a little underwhelming, but the opening track remains one of the most immediately likeable pieces of music I've heard.
Also, Halfway To Gone have made some of the catchiest instrumentals I've ever heard, though they'd probably fit better in rock/metal. A lot of their best songs are amongst them, actually. If you like heavy, catchy, Southern rock, I'd definitely recommend checking them out.

Lots of the Daft Punk album Discovery is very catchy musically, for instance Aerodynamic, Crescendolls, and more.

Liquid Tension Experiment has just about some of the best instrumentals out there, check out Black Light Syndrome as well if you want something experimental

Dirty Three is goodness, even though it may not be the most uplifting music in the world.
I like John Frusciante's - Murderers. The beat gets stuck in my head all day.
Good song.
The Pogues - Gridlock
Little intro on the cymbals, which leads into a full drum intro. After a while, the guitar comes in, then some cool horn/trumpet work.
