As big a Zeppelin fan as I am, I think Whos Next is probably the greatest rock album ever made. At the very least its in the top five.
I have both of these on vinyl.

...ending Baba O'Reilly with a violin solo was inspired!
I've heard live versions with Daltrey doing harmonica. Not the same.
And unless a genius shredder like Satriani or Vai played a violin-like solo, I don't think a guitar solo works.
Just a perfect choice of instrument.

(432 posts)4. Agree. I think my favorite violin outro is on the following Ultravox song
I want to be a machine-Ultravox. Strings pretty much start at 4:40 and the outro at 5:40. The bass line tone is pretty awesome too. Steve Lillywhite and Brian Eno coproducing might have helped.
