Synthezisers & Rock

Now I first payed attention to the syntheziser bit on "Maxwell's Siver 
Hammer". Yeah, they did before the Who, as a solo instrument, and it 
worked pretty well. Most of the time synths are used as a solo 
instrument, the result is ridiculous. Listen to "Tom Sawyer" (The song 
was made famous in Brazil due to the series "McGyver, which had it as 
the opening song), from the album "Moving Pictures" (In my opinion the 
last Rush album worth listening). It is an amazing song, with great 
drumming from Neil Peart (which is in my opinion the best metronome 
drummer). But that synth solo just spoils the song, it's awful... But 
the silver beatles used it well 10+ years before. Ok, nothing can be 
compared to Baba O'Riley or Won't Get Fooled Again, but Maxwell had it 
and it worked well, that's my opinion. Any comment?
