[FretBored]

SRV TEXAS FLOOD - Whole song seems to be a solo!

[shawnsinfused]

The first solo that popped in my mind was the main solo in All Along The Watchtower. Amazing emotion. I didn't just hear that solo the first time I felt it.

"Concrete Caynon Boogie" by a guitar flat picker named Charlie Brown from the album "Rural Free Delivery" by Eric Weisburg in 1975. The whole song is a guitar-banjo duel, but the guitar solo acutally knocks me over.

I have never heard a single thing from this giter picker since.

Duane Allman's solo on "Hot Lanta" is short but fierce.

[sPiKe]

There are a tons of solos that i could mention but the one solo (the entire song is absolutly breathtaking) that has had me in dreamland since the first time I had heard/felt it is..........................."Manhatten"- Eric Johnson

[Banned]

"Raging River of Fear" by Captian Beyond.

[lonewolf]

Time - David Gilmour, Pink Floyd - razor edges melt in your ears
Hey Joe - Roy Buchanan
On With The Action - Michael Schenker, UFO
No One Like You - Doh! Scorps...always getting them and Triumph mixed up.
Eruption - Jan Akkerman, Focus

Dittos on Aqualung and Highway Star

I can never place a song title to any of Malmsteen's stuff, so I'll just add Rising Force and Marching Out.

[paul]

Hot For Teacher = VH Just a smokin solo no way around it

Since I Been Lovin You = Led Zep Classic Page fast sloppy blues but you gotta love it

Time = Pink Floyd Nothing fancy but typical tastefull Gilmore the solo fits the song perfectly

Surfing with an Alien = Joe Satriani The whole Album just pounds with a bunch of different styles packed into a single album

I am forgetting a bunch but these stand out in my head right now.
Paul

[sPiKe]

lonewof.......yea fucking Rising force is killer!

1. Black Star
2. Far beyond the Sun (sweet soloing)
3. Now you ships are burned
4. Evil eye
5. Icarus Dream suite op.4
6. As above, so below
7. Little savage
8. Farewell

Magnum opus is another great album by Yngwie Malmsteen!

[f.sciarrillo]

There are so many I liked that I couldn't even start to say them ..

If I would put it on the top of the list. I would probably have to say David Gilmour - Mother .. The tone and intonation on that is just mind bogling. Then all the guitar on the wall cd are good.

This is to hard of a question ..

[RobTheDrummer]

For the Love of God.

Hillel Slovak - Fight like a Brave

[Dave]

Sexual Harassment in the Workplace - Frank Zappa (1981 Live Version)
Watermelon in Easter Hay - Frank Zappa

[Bag]

Live version of "Dazed and Confused" by Zep/Page is UNREAL!

Studio versions of "Heartbreaker" and "Black Dog" by Zep/Page

"Eruption" by Van Halen

Live version of "She" by Ace/Kiss

I would say "Free Bird" and "Green Grass and High Tides" and a bunch of others too, but they're not really SOLOS.

[jreider]

EVH - I'm the One
Allan Holdsworth - Devil Take the Hindmost
Allan Holdsworth - Metal Fatigue
Allan Holdsworth - The things you see (when you haven't got your gun)
Pat Travers / Pat Thrall - Snortin' Whisky, Drinkin' Cocaine
Frank Zappa - 50/50
Steve Vai - Elephant Gun (DLR)
Steve Vai - Blue Powder
Jeff Beck - You Know what I mean (actually, the entire 'Blow by Blow' CD
Alex Skolnick - The New Order

[ToonaRockGuy]

Steve Vai - Elephant Gun (DLR)

That's a great solo, but for me the best solo in that song is Billy Sheehan's bass solo! But a great song nonetheless. Vai does go off in that whole album. Good call.

[Quail Whale]

I like Wesley Willis.

Maybe we should all pay homage the original rock solo:

Chuck Berry

we probably would not be here without his solos!

Long live the Chuck Berry lick!
