  • S6.E13: Flying Solo, Five on Five
    Jun 26 2025

    Did the art of the solo in pop/rock music peak between 1975 and 1985? And why did it become something of a lost art thereafter? John and Tom discuss the history and importance of the solo (any instrument) in modern music history, each sharing five of their favorite solos for purposes of demonstration and admiration.


    What do you think are the elements of a quintessential solo in pop/rock music? And where have all the good times gone?
