Another thread where I can post Rime of the Ancient Mariner. I seem to be able to fit it into a bunch.
So many good ones.

Stevie Ray Vaughan - Texas Flood (Live at the El Mocambo)
Clapton - Have you heard, Steppin' Out, Hideaway, White Room

 

[TheDean]

ANY Angus young solo. I don't want ot list them all because ti would have to ist every single Ac/Dc song

 

[GonzoGamer]

Steve Hackett w/Genesis "Firth of Fifth"

 

[Leaper]

Not like these are the best, but really got stuck in my head:

Meshuggah - Entrapment
It's as if alien from another dimension came to our world, with totaly different understanding about music, and wrote this solo. Phenomenal.

Eluveitie - Inis Mona
Ok, this is flute solo but it's still amazing

Necrophagist - Ignominious & Pale
Necrophagist. Muhammad's solo. Not much else to say.

[tacomonkey 360]

Like The solo in hallowed be thy name-Iron maiden, or Stair Way to heaven by led zeppelin is really good to.

 

[speedcoreXdandy]

Any of Tony Iommi's solos from Paranoid, he understands that soloing isn't just about fretwanking for 10 minutes its about doing something that adds to the music.

Either that or the live solo I saw Ruyter Suys do which ended in her shredding all the strings off her guitar.

 

[Jeebz]

Slither - Velvet Revolver
The Last Fight - Velvet Revolver
Whole Lotta Love - Zeppelin
Nightrain - Guns n Roses
Stairway to Heaven - Zeppelin

 

[JohanGasMask]

I woud say...Eruption.

 

[laikenf]

"Orange County Lumber Truck" (live version): Frank Zappa.

 

[tehdanzorz]

the first solo in Boston's longtime

I like you sir


Although the guitar solo in Metropolis by Dream theater is brilliant, as is Under a Glass Moon...

The solo in Freebird is the one of the most boring recreations of the pentatonic scale ever (except for every AC/DC solo)

 

[Neosage]

Rather orgasmic one is this:

 

[saintchristopher]

This week? I'll go with Silversun Pickups' "Lazy Eye."

All-time is easily "Cliffs of Dover."

Did anyone know that song BEFORE it showed up in that music game that jumped the shark?

 

[Pop_Tarts]

Muse - Citizen Erased

When the solo changes and the bass goes back into the chorus, the synths return... makes my hair stand up on end.
