I like the synthesizer solo of Queen's song "I want to break free".
It was played by guest musician Fred Mandel, who also progammed the synths for several Queen's albums. |

Brian Eno on Roxy Music's "Editions of you" from "For your pleasure" is the track that made me want to buy a synth. As they were the price of a house then (72/73), I had to wait a while before I got my first one - a casio! |

Everything on Al DiMeola's "Tour de Force Live"
Being that I'm a geetar maan, I had studied and jammed with this record endlessly as a kid. I love Jan Hammer's Moog work on here. _________________ Too much equipment. What a bonehead. |

Five come to mind:
Vangelis: "Bladerunner Blues" (performed on a CS80 or possibly a CS40M)
Vangelis: End section of "See You Later" track on album of same name (performed on CS40M).
JMJ: "Oxygene Part 5" (fabulous middle-eastern style lead line) - (NOT his recent live renditions of this which are not very good) (not sure which synth).
JMJ: End section of "Magnetic Fields II" on live "Concerts of China" version (on Moog Liberation).
Rick Wakeman, opening track from "Whiterock" album (best Minimoog lead line I've ever heard).
They don't make them like those any more.

I can't pick a favorite, but what Matt Guillory does over "Toccata" from Encores, Legends & Paradox (ELP Tribute)...bad-ass. _________________ Kronos 61, Kronos2-88, Hammond B3, Baldwin SD-10 |

Plus one to this! Jan Hammer is sick! DiMeola is sicker! _________________ http://soundcloud.com/ronf-3/sets/ronf-music

The original melody lines from the album are not from a synth,Its one of the Tabs off the Eminent 310,like so many other sounds he used off the 310 he didn't use it solely for the String ensemble section,like most beleive he also used sounds off it for Oxygene 2 and Equinoxe 4 Plucks as well as the floaty organ pad at the start of Oxy 5,even though he replicates them on other synths for concerts like the Memorymoog of recent times and the liberation for Oxy 5 _________________ --Korg Nautilus~~Korg Modwave--Korg SV-1-Korg Wavestate-- |

One more vote for Tony Banks. Both "Riding the scree" and "In the Cage" solos from The Lamb. Good chops and very melodic at the same time.
Man, Genesis... I'll be 75 and i think i'll still listen to that music, if i can hear something at that time!!

Eddie Jobson's Mini Moog solo on Zappa's "I promise not to come in your mouth." To me, it is the most expressive synth solo of all time and the song has the coolest title. |
