From time to time, i think about great solos in music. And when i do i always want to make a compilation playlist with songs featuring these beautiful solos.
Some of the solos that come to mind is the building crescendo of Unforgiven by Metallica, that ends in a beautifully unforgettable cacophony of sound that elevates the song to another level.
Or Sultans of Swing by Dire Straits, which have a fantastic wonder-scene that gives great attention to the incredible mastering of the song.I would love to hear what song featuring what you believe is the most unforgettable solo.
Thank you all in advance, and have a great day!36 votes -
