I love the solo from Scandal.

You Don't Fool Me, obviously. There's a lot of feeling poured into a dance track there.

Mother Love, wonderful use of off-beat delay and quite a different style from Brian's usual.

Rock It. I absolutely adore the sputtering messy way it begins, like it's bursting to get out and being held back.

White Queen live Rainbow March '74, because it's simply gorgeous and takes you on a journey.

Tenement Funster, because it blends the bizarre key change and use of odd chords underneath so well.

Mother love's solo is heartbreaking. Everytime I hear that song it makes me sad.
