Let’s Go Crazy—Prince (Guitar: #Prince)
When you’re talking solos, it's not ‘if’ with Prince, but ‘which’. And this astonishing break, sampled later to great effect by the Bomb Squad, is an ideal answer

In My Life—The #Beatles (‘Harpsichord’: George Martin)
In quotes because it was actually a piano sped up to sound like a Harpsichord. Is credited with creating the entire Baroque Pop subgenre.

I could never take the place of your man
(Guitar: Prince)
Ending as we began, on a slice of Prince genius. It's a long but never boring solo: the way he plays call and response with himself is just inspired.

Call me Al—Paul Simon
(Bass: Bakithi Kumalo)
As anyone who's tried to play this can tell you, something rum is afoot. It was Simon's idea to reverse the solo halfway through, producing a uniquely cool moment.

I just wasn't made for these times—Beach Boys
(Electro-Theremin: Paul Tanner)
This mournful, keening solo is the saddest part of an incredibly sad song and, in a complex piece, a moment of sublime clarity.

Start Choppin—Dinosaur Jr.
(Guitar: J Mascis)
There are two things I love about this song: every time J stretches for that ludicrous high note, and this wonderfully chaotic, joyous solo.

Supergirl— #XTC
(Guitar: Dave Gregory)
Played on Eric Clapton's famous Gibson SG, courtesy of Todd Rundgren, this musically witty 8-bar solo is amongst my favourite things Dave ever played.

Old and Wise—Alan Parsons Project
(Sax: Mel Collins)
It would be remiss not to include an 80s sax solo, so here's a favourite. Yes, it's 'gutsy', but it contrasts with Blunstone's wispy voice beautifully.

Another Nail in my Heart — #Squeeze (Guitar: Glenn Tilbrook)
If you didn’t rate Tilbrook as a guitarist, this incredible display of technique and pure shreddery might change your mind. 32 bars of pure magic.

Runaway — Del Shannon
(Keyboard: Maxfield Crook)
Crook not only co-wrote the song, he also played this outstanding solo on the Musitron, an instrument of his own creation. Which is damn impressive.
