Don't know if this is on topic here... but what about the entire Tomita Album "Snowflakes are dancing"?

I love the small keyboard solo in IQ's Headlong.  I know I have other favorites, but I can't think of them right now.

Actually, I have a few.  Geddy Lee's synth leads on COUNTDOWN and SUBDIVISIONS and Tony Banks' leadwork on THAT'S ALL.

I think Tony Banks had the best solos in the context of what the rest of the band was playing, particularly when Steve Hackett was providing his incredible atmosphere.  Damn, those two sounded so good together, it's a shame they only worked together for a short period of time.  For example, the keyboard part in Cinema Show by itself isn't particularly great or impressive, but what made it sound so good was the bass, the drums, and the guitar.  I do think Genesis had the best keyboard parts, up until the point Hackett left, then it unfortunately changed for the worse.

Wakeman and Emerson were more flashy, and technically more proficient.  On their own, I think they had better keyboard solos.  Wakeman shines in Awaken, Close to the Edge, and Siberian Khatru.  Emerson destroys in Tarkus, Karn Evil 9, and Toccata, but I love his piano work in Take a Pebble best for some reason.

I dunno if anyone mentioned it... (dont think they did) but the one in 'the raven' part of 'the colony of slippermen' on disc 2 LLDOB... i love it.  also firth of fifth... in the cage.... etc.

that short little one in Siberian Khatru that sounds like... a harpsicord setting i think? right? well anyway, i keep listening to it over and over, its so great! So short though, it saddens me... that whole part kinda reminds me of... pirates.. and oceanic voyages. Dunno why. Kinda wierd. Some other songs do that to me and I cant stop listening to them over and over and over. I guess its like when I first listened to 'lookin out my back door' by CCR... oh man, I mustve listened to the song 30 times over in one night ... its so happy, makes me wish I lived on a farm and I spent every single day just sitting on the porch, drinking pepsi and eating sandwiches with barbecue chips. mmm mm... BBQ ...

err...

anyways.. ill just make a list of the songs I was supposed to mention.. hee hee

  • Colony of Slippermen
  • In the Cage
  • Firth of Fifth
  • Cinema Show (I never quite liked this solo as much as the others, I know its good, but theres something about it. The other solos, ill be listening to music while playing a game or something ,and the solo will punch me right in the kidney and say 'LISTEN NOW, FOOL'... but this one just doesnt do it! it makes me kinda sad because I know I should love it and it makes me think theres something wrong with my stupid, stupid head.
  • Siberian Khatru
  • Roundabout (theres that awesome organ-y-ness after the really quiet part... and its all like... wow!... I was listening to the live version on my CD player one time at school and i let my friend listen to it... and he DIDNT like it. I shoulda messed up his face real good.
  • something not by genesis or yes
  • something not by genesis or yes
  • something not by genesis or yes
  • ^ my memory is losing its edge after all of the stupid things I sputter out of my filthy mouth hole all day long.

WwwweeeEEEeeoooOOooOoOOoooOoooz.z..
