Your top 5 solos

GeneticKiss · 07.01.2011, 01:41 PM

Could be guitar, keys, drums, bouzouki, shamisen, oboe, whatever. Any kind of lead break on any kind of instrument.

I'll start with my top 5 electric guitar solos, in no order beyond as I think of them:

1. Pink Floyd: Comfortably Numb
2. Radiohead: Paranoid Android
3. Sonic Youth: Unmade Bed
4. Pantera: Walk
5. The Vines: Outtathaway

The Watcher · 07.01.2011, 01:52 PM

This is going to require some careful thought from me......

Off the top of my head:
Child In Time
Revelations
Communication Breakdown
Powerslave
Every David Gilmour from Saucerful Of Secrets to DSOTM

More thoughts on this important matter to come!!

EVOLghost · 07.01.2011, 02:43 PM

Genetic Outtatheway? Really? I love the Vines(only their first 2 albums really..). But I don't think that solo would EVER! show up on someones top 5. Nice picks though....

Torn Curtain · 07.01.2011, 04:45 PM

Pink Floyd - Comfortably numb (on a par with Time and Echoes)
Television - Torn curtain
Neil Young - On the beach
David Bowie - Teenage wildlife
Joy Division - New dawn fades

The Watcher · 07.01.2011, 06:12 PM

Deep Purple In Rock/Fireball/Machine Head every track Ritchie Blackmore ever played...... perhaps I've changed my answer? They are the greatest band to ever exist!!

"Digital Love"

YES!!

Even though it's got some awfully cheesy lyrics, I love Andromeda's ''Return To Sanity'' because of the guitar parts.

EVOLghost: I love the Outtathaway solo because it's simple and adds so much to the song...it's also one of the only Craig Nicholls solos that isn't just some sort of paraphrasing of the vocal line.

SteveOK: If you're talking about Daft Punk, definitely...

the ikara cult · 07.02.2011, 02:05 PM

The Vines?? Now thats a daring pick on here

the ikara cult · 07.02.2011, 02:08 PM

The lead guitar in Go with the Flow by QOTSA sounds brilliant throughout the song, even though it doesnt really have a solo.

Archives Of Pain by the Manics just for the length and the general bleakness - edit: starts around 4.00 in

I'm sure ill chip in with more as they come to me

GeneticKiss · 07.02.2011, 02:09 PM

The Vines, if you ask me, are the most underrated of all the early 2000s "The" bands. Totally never got their due outside of Austraila.

eh? They were very popular in the UK for a while, granted they faded in popularity after their second album, but they sold out alot of good sized venues in the days before EVERYONE would go to see a band of their size. I distinctly remember being crushed by thousands of people trying to fit into the big tent at Reading festival to see them.
I bought their first album, and I do like it, im just saying that theyre the kind of band that give alot of posters on here epileptic seizures (ironically)

EVOLghost · 07.02.2011, 02:29 PM

I used to be a huge vines fan....I really like their album Winning days, I mean TV Pro, Autumn Shade 2, I dig it. Their 3rd.....not so much.

chicka · 07.02.2011, 03:08 PM

Yo Watcher, nice to see another Deep Purple fan. Live in Japan is definitely a top 5 live album of mine as for the solos:

Elizabeth Reed - Allman Bros. at the Fillmore 71 version
Tin Pan Alley - SRV Montroveux version
Sampa Ti - Carlos Santana Live in South Africa version
Space Truckin' - Deep Purple Live in Japan
Diamond Sea - who else? any version
