can't believe not a single Vince Clarke mention so far - the master of 80s synth hooks!

One of my favourites consists of just . Starts at about 2'10" but the whole thing is worth listening to, IMO.

Top choice! Still love that albumGaryG wrote: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)

As a synth head... I generally detest synth solos lol but, many synth heavy sections in Ozrics tracks totally float my boat as do many Jarre hooks. The simple 3 note synth bell hook in this has stuck in my head ever since I first heard it (I'm biased because I'm a huge Tatu - and other Russian pop like Vitas etc. - fan). It pops in my head at least once a day.
