The Tom Dowd produced Layla outro is amazing. Clapton with Duane Allman on the slide guitar part.

[random stupid trivia that some people might not know]

The piano coda was written by Jim Gordon, the Dominoes drummer (maybe the most underrated drummer of the era, the guy was amazing). Gordon later went nuts, killed his mother, and was sent to an insane asylum (still there I think).

When Clapton released the acoustic version of Layla from his Unplugged show he had to share the writing credit with Gordon, even tho the outro does not appear on that version of the song at all.

The slide guitar part of that by Duane is considered one of the best slide solos of all time. Most of it is played above the fretboard, so he is hitting most of the notes 'by ear'.

Rolling Stones, "Sway", of course. The long fade out with Mick Taylor's guitar and that Richards-Jagger wall of sound coming at you.

The 2nd solo in Comfterbly numb is BYE far my favorite. Its puts you in the mood of the song, and into that "state of mind", Pink floyd did this so well.

The ending of The Grudge, the middle section of Ticks and Leeches by Tool. (Can you tell I'm a drummer?)

Echoes.. oh dear lord. I can't hear that first note without getting all giddy for the intergalactic mind trip I'm about to enjoy. I need to get that on mp3 so I can listen to it at work and totally trip out. Once I do, expect to be getting other people's mail for a while.

How about some love for the synthesizer in Jump? Let's hear it from the Van Halen fans. If you're not into synthesizers, there's a pretty cool part in Right Now. I'm thinking it's a piano.

If you like pianos, I think every Bruce Hornsby song I've heard has some cool instrumental parts.
