What is your favorite synthesizer solo, or song hook?
A video, name of song and performer, or link to the appropriate tune are all good.
I think my favorite from back in the 80's was this one.

The mellotron solo in this is one of my favourites (followed by some awesome Hammond playing)

It'd have to be either "Constant Motion" or "On The Backs Of Angels" (which is piano, though, but I categorize it as a synth solo anyway), both by Dream Theater.
My solo projects:
Hekkräiser (experimental) | MFG38 (electronic/soundtrack) | The Santtu Pesonen Project (metal/prog)

The one in the song Jump by Van Halen. And the one in Any Colour You Like by Pink Floyd.

I saw Chick Corea in the early 80's in Springfield Mass, also playing that night was Hot Tuna and Bobby and the Midnights....fantastic night until exactly at 11:00 pm they pulled the plug on the show B&TM were still playing. City ordinance was it must stop at 11:00 and they meant it. Never went back to Springfield again Still it was a great show
The highest form of knowledge is empathy, for it requires us to suspend our egos and live in another's world. It requires profound, purpose‐larger‐than‐the‐self kind of understanding.

Funny, when I read 'synth solo' that's the first thing that popped into my head. Smooth and fits the song so well.bluedad wrote:steve winwood's solo in Valarie
Maybe this is more a favourite middle 8 than a synth solo per se (being on a piano and everything...) but I always get a little shiver during the piano run in this...

(You can ignore the video though. Because 80s )
