    I'm drawing a blank on this... Comfortably Numb is a good one, but too melancholy for my tastes.

    I'll go with a sleeper candidate here. The many covers of "Who Do You Love"... That song's guitar can get stuck in my head for days on end.

    Gah ... when I think guitar solo I think Page, Gilmour, Beck, May, Schon, Montrose, Travers, Lukather, Schenker, to name a few. There's just no way I could say one was my fave over another cuz they've all had their place in my life.

    The solo in Killer Queen is prety damn cool. Yeah, Heartbreaker. I like the solo in Dazed and Confused a lot. Montrose rips all over Gamma III (with Mitchell Froom, a smokin' keyboardist). Comfortably Numb is a real emotion invoker; I have to be careful listening to that album cuz I have depression and it's a bit too close to home. Pack it Up and Go rocks (Schenker with UFO). Lukather's melodies sing and cry me in a big way, all the way back to the original Toto album. Beck--this guy is just magnificent. If I had to pick a favorite soloist, he would be at least tied for 1st. His work on Guitar Shop was just badass. Pat Travers was a high school favorite. Burned one with him once. He rocks, a fairly unsung rock 'n roll hero if you ask me.

    All of the above are good but Kirk Hammet's guitar solo on Orion is pretty much gratest in my book. The whole song is pretty much a set of guitar solos all rolled into one.

    hmm...I like the Floyd solos, not quit my thing, bit sparse (though he put exactly the right notes in and used them with ruthless effeciency)...quite like the solo to since i've been loving you - I think the one that's my favourite, always making hair on the back of the neck etc - is the solo to Cherub Rock by SP, but there we are, very subjective...
