Favourite instrumental breaks/solos
Sorry if this one has been done before but how about a list of favourite instrumental breaks/solos in EC songs.
N.B. I haven't included any Steve Nieve solos because I've created a different thread especially for those.
Here's my Top 10 (in no particular order).
Any King's Shilling - instrumental verse with uillean pipes (sp?)
Ship of Fools - guitar solo
15 Petals - brass near the end of the song
I Want You - demented 2-note guitar solo, reminds me of Boredom by the Buzzcocks & the homage to that song in Rip It Up by Orange Juice.
Sweet Pear - guitar solo
Shipbuilding - Chet Baker trumpet solo
God Give Me Strength - the fantastic section just after the "I want him to hurt" line.
Chewing Gum - Marc Ribot guitar solo
The Invisible Man - intro
Lipstick Vogue - the bit in the middle where all the Attractions go a bit mad

I like many of the solos all of you have mentioned. Lots more that I can't seem to think of. Here are a few in no particular order:
1. Hidden Charms - Marc Ribot guitar solo in the middle
2. My Thief - the coda at the end, the gal singing
3. Goon Squad - the Bruce and Elvis only section, one of my favorite parts of Armed Forces
4. Juliet Letters -- loads of solos in the whole set from the Brodsky's that are very good. Romeo is Calling - very technical intro and throughout the song, they pull it off.
5. The Delivery Man - the funny rythmic picking on the guitar sound at the very end, goofy, I know.
6. River in Reverse - loaded too, and not just with Toussaint piano flourishes. Particularly like the trombone solo in Whos Gonna Help a Brother Get Further -- floors me everytime.
7. Watching the Detectives - Elvis' guitar
