Rick Wakeman - Roundabout and Close To The Edge (near end). These two are so important to me ...

For those who do not mind venturing beyond prog and into jazzy territories, these 2 are jaw-dropping

Same as with guitar solos, I like best when the solo is innovative in terms of composition, melody or sound instead of showing artistic but meaningless virtuosity. Bank 's "Cinema show" certainly is the all-time classic. But I Like the strange ones even better: Minnears piano-madness on "Interview", Hammer 's screaming E-piano on "Stratus", and Joachim Kühn 's distorted Jupiter 8 on "Information", the best guitar solo that is none.

John Evans when he was with Jethro Tull had a great solo in a song called With You There To Help Me
in the DVD called Jack In the Green Live in Germany. The solo is actually a song called By the Kind Permission of.

It isn't exactly a full blown solo or anything, but I absolutely adore the little keyboard lick in Burden by Opeth, about 2:20 into the song.

Eddie Jobson on piano, organ and synth on Metamorphosis by Curved Air
I never post anything anywhere without doing more than basic research, often in depth.

For me this is the best solo of New rock progressive, it's not just keybaord but is a crossing between guitar and keyboards, go at 4.03 to hear it, it's marvelled!

I've always loved this song but nothing beats the studio version IMO.

I also love the Hammond solo about three minutes into TAAB. It's so raw and pornographic. And the piano intro to Locamotive Breath.

I'm sure I'm at least the fifth to mention Firth. Both pianos and synths are lovely.
