List your favorite synth solos, artist and song/album. (sorry if this topic has been posted already, I ran a search and didn't find it.)

Some of my current faves are:

Aloha-The Sound Between

The Dismemberment Plan-The City (not really a solo, just a cool sound throughout the song.)

Steve Winwood-The Finer Things (Does anyone know what synth is used for this solo?)

Weather Report-Herandnu
(again, I don't know what synth Joe Zawinul uses on this tune, on a website they list Joe's instruments for the album "Black Market" as: Josef Zawinul: Two ARP 2600 synthesizers, Rhodes electric piano, Yamaha grand piano, Oberheim polyphonic synthesizer )
