Synth solo in Led Zep's "All My Love"?

February 17, 2011 7:49 PM

Led Zeppelin's "All My Love": where else has that synth solo been used?

Okay, this is probably a stupid and obvious question, but it's been bothering me for a few weeks. The synth solo in "All My Love": I know it, but from where? I tried to Google sampling of the song and come up with nothing. Who else has used that synth solo? Other songs? Commercials? I suspect this question will be answered quickly but I'm itching to figure it out...

The Hood Internet uses it with the vocals from TLC's No Scrubs over it.

Ronald Jenkees did a really pretty version of the solo.

On the off chance that you're a Ween fan, they did a nice cover. Maybe that's what you heard?

The Cars did a solo that's kinda sorta in a similar vein, in Hello Again.

Man, that Zep solo is great, though. It makes me proud to see this question on AskMe.

Oh hey.

John Paul Jones griped that Chicago used his solo from All of My Love in "25 or 6 to 4." So I looked it up. I think this solo is what he's talking about, and it's a pretty good match.

Is that where you heard it?

Response by poster: These are all great suggestions, but the only one that seems close is that obscure 90s song. However, I swear I've heard the solo sampled in full in something, either a song or a commercial, but if the HiveMind is coming up empty then maybe I'm just imagining things?
