Lovely tribute from Gene Simmons on R4 just now. Not the first person I’d have expected on the tribute list but all the more moving for it.

Finale of *every* school disco I ever went to - just the order varied:

Freebird - Lynyrd Skynyrd
Brown Sugar - Stones
Hi Ho Silver Lining - Jeff Beck

They obviously didn't want you snogging then.

The first part of Freebird has ample snogging opportunities.

End of Layla is long enough to encompass sex and a cigarette too!

DM - gratuitously overlong solos. Might include genres other than AOR....

Genesis had a name for the overlong ending that temporarily escapes me. 'Disney' or somesuch. Generally involved Banks noodling for a couple of minutes to fill up album space.

Switt just spawned a question. Anyone, ever, anywhere, heard a drum solo and wished it was longer? Nope. Me neither. And I've seen a *lot* of great drummers. And Ginger Baker.

It's like any other kind of solo - they simply go on too long. However, I offer this exhibit from B J Wilson, IMO the greatest of them all:
