O C'mon, the first part of the solo wasn't really a solo. It was Jordan have sex with his keyboards  |
Yeah its almost pornographic esp. when he goes back and forth and back and forth

The thing that annoys me the most is when a pop/rock band choose going up a key as their bridge: no solos, just a key-change.  boring boring boring.
Can't say I know any prog-rock BAD solos! I don't tend to look for the bad stuff- I just let it wack me in the face.  It's only when it begins to HURT that I know it's bad.

yes, that is a terrible solo ... especially whenever I compare it to the solo in 'Schooldays' from the same band.

The pipe organ interlude in Close to the Edge is really tough for me to listen to. I don't know if Wakeman thought of it as a solo or not.

Everybody (Except my dad) hates it whenever I grab a keyboard, and play that part.

The Synth solo in "Invisible Touch" (the song) by genesis. Haha, its actually not bad but its horridly out of place. I like to imagine the brainstorming for it. Phil and Mike "What would make this straightforward nothing elaborate pop ballad better?" Tony "Innapropriate synth solo".

yes i actually think thats it  it rings a bell. I have nothing personal against him but i just cant stand his music  even worse his solos  well that is his music but it stands out more than the cheap cliched chords he uses

The guitar solo in 'How Many More Times' is one that I could put in a top 10 guitar solo list ... I never heard anyone outside a led zeppelin forum talk about the solo.
