My Cosmic Autum Rebellian by The Flaming Lips

Listen to the whole thing for context, or for the impatient from 2:30 for a fuzzy bass pre-curser to the organ solo (2:52) which is sublimely chaotic, distorted and atonal in an otherwise pretty song, genius (IMO). In fact, one of my fav musical moments full stop.

The organ in the intro to Child In Time.

"Favourite solo that is not a guitar solo." Sorry, computer says no...

Phil Woods on Steely Dan's "Doctor Wu" at 1:30-odd. The undisputed best non-guitar solo ever.



Greg Phillinganes on piano at 1:45:



Something of a weird choice this, but Devin Townsend does a couple of amazing vocal solos on "Sex and Religion" by Vai - this one in particular is quite something - starts as a string of vocal fills in the background at 3:40 but progresses...

Does steel guitar count? Because 5:15 onwards...

viz

Jools on that The The song
