It's Skunk, Becker plays bass on that and most everything on Countdown and Can't Buy a Thrill

Becker started playing more guitar after Katy Lied.

The solo on The Royal Scam really blazes, though it's very short and simple. I love that opening pull off lick.

It's always cool, and one of the jazziest things about the Dan, how the guitar solos (mostly in the later albums) lay on top of totally different chord progressions than the verses and chorus.

Haitian Divorce one of the most hilarious solos ever

"Aja" (the song). Isn't it technically impossible to play? And Denny Dias had to overdub himself in order to get it right?
