The Bash - Dixie Dregs/Steve Morse Goodbye To Love - Carpenters/Tony Peluso Electric Reflections of War - Mahogany Rush/Frank Marino (gotta have an SG player in there) Firth of Fifth - Genesis/Steve Hackett Jesus Just Left Chicago - ZZ Top/Billy Gibbons MRK
I'm not that bent on solos, but here's a short and cool one at 0.53. Ben Carter of the Screaming Blue Messiahs. [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=53baYQPcC4s[/youtube]
Yo Mama - Frank Zappa Samba Pa Ti - Carlos Santana Theme from an Imaginary Western - Leslie West Moonlight Drive - Robbie Krieger Hotel California - Joe Walsh & Don Felder ( sorry, that makes 6) I'm feeling a sense of deja vu, have we done this before?
Hendrix-Electric Church version of Hear My Train A Comin' on the Blues record ( #1by a long shot). Hendrix-Third Stone From The Sun (start to finish). Angus Young-anything from the Bon Scott era (can't pick just one) Jeff Beck-Let Me Love You (start to finish) EVH-Eruption (I have never even tried to learn this-not my thing-but I love to listen to it. Still hard to beat for pure guitar pyrotechnics).
Cliche but Stairway, like the tune or not, that's a great solo Highway Star-Deep Purple/Ritchie Blackmore Third Stone From the Sun-Jimi The Attitude Song-Steve Vai Mediterranean Sundance-Al di Meola, Paco de Lucia and John McLaughlin
All Along The Watchtower - Jimi Hendrix Always with Me, Always with You - Joe Satriani Crossroads - Eric Clapton (with Cream) In Memory of Elizabeth Reed - Dickey Betts & Duane Allman You Shook Me All Night Long - Angus Young
Rock Around The Clock - Bill Haley & the Comets (Danny Cedrone on guitar) Bold As Love - Jimi Hendrix Eruption - Eddie Van Halen The End - The Beatles (Paul, George & John) Something - The Beatles (George)
Short is best. Ricky Byrd with Joan Jett at 1:38: [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cRkiqbXblcM[/youtube] Well, for 'real' solos, I can at least come up with two: • Frank Zappa – Packard Goose • Manny Charlton/Nazareth – Love Hurts
Every lick in Jeff Beck's version of Going Down especially the climactic build and release after the 2nd break. Zappa's solo in Movin' to Montanna The Beatles The End

Check out the drummer's Ludwig Vistalites! 8)
[quote author=Tom link=topic=19916.msg241321#msg241321 date=1257285447] Blue Oyster Cult - (Then Came The) Last Days Of May (Buck Dharma) [/quote] Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! +1 from me. (although I think the solo in "Golden Age of Leather" is also wicked pissa) To make it Five, I'll throw in: Phoenix by Wishbone Ash Poppy by Mahogany Rush Funky Dogs and Nasty Kings by ZZ Top And Montana By FZ, but then I'd nominate every song by Zappa.

I went back and listened to Band of Gypsies/Hendrix/Machine Gun the other day. That one has got to be pretty high up anyone's list. :)
Damn, ya'll are hitting the highlights and have already mentioned a lot of great solos. I'll add: Brian May's solos on almost anything Queen did Martin Barre's classic solo on Aqualung Steve Howe - lots of great stuff all over the place but I'll go with his acoustic solo on Clap
