Hmm, I'd have to think about it... but I'd say the one in Cocaine (Clapton) beats the ones posted so far. :P

I thought you usually posted Sorrow.... oh well.

For me it's probably Dark Matter by Porcupine Tree.

My opinion probably doesn't count for much when it comes to this kind of music but I really like Pali Gap. It's more of a jam but I find it very pleasing to my ears.

A song that's one long guitar solo still contains a guitar solo, doesn't it? :P

I agree with lots of posts above, but to add something else, I highly enjoy these solos

Buckethead - Jordan (solo is mindblowing), Soothsayer , Too many Humans

Deep Purple - Highway Star, Child in Time

Dire Straits - Sultains of Swing

Black Sabbath - Planet Caravan, War Pigs, Die Young and Dirty Women

I like the "solo" in Don't Let Me Down. The part where Paul tried to tell John like 23 times on how to play it. It really made me like it

Black Sabbath - Planet Caravan, War Pigs, Die Young

ultamite_gamer

I always loved the guitar playing in Die Young. Planet Caravan doesn't have a particularly fast solo, but it sounds amazing nevertheless. War Pigs is War Pigs, nothing more needs be said about it. :P

Well, I don't really listen to solo-heavy music, but the solo on Geek USA by Smashing Pumpkins is pretty awesome.

Excellent choice, Gabu.

I would also consider the lead solos in their songs "Time" or "Money". The Dark Side of the Moon album is a huge seller.

I would say Comfortably Numb. Also, the solo in Feeling Yourself Disintegrate by the Flaming Lips is one of my favorites, though it's by no means one of the best.

Yup, this guy's playing is really something else, although I don't expect a lot of people to comprehend his playing.

Not really my favorite style...sounds a little too clinical for my tastes...but Paul Gilbert's skills have always impressed me: 1987 with Racer X.

Eurption doesn't count, alll of it is a guitar solo.

A song that's one long guitar solo still contains a guitar solo, doesn't it? :P

Isn't Eruption just a warm up?

Anyway for me, probabaly Paradise city- Guns n Roses. I would say that there are better solos out there but this one always comes to mind first.

I have heard a few Van Helen songs but I have never been a huge fan though that's not to say that Eddie is not an amazing guitarist.

All his solos on Death Magnetic are terrible in my opinion. And most of his material from the 90s wasn't anything great either. My favorite solos that come to mind are Tornado of Souls by Megadeth and No One Like You by The Scorpions. Honorable mention to As I Am by Dream Theater just because it's so intense.
