Those that immediately came to mind:
Brian May “Bohemian Rhapsody”
Buck Dharma “(Don’t Fear) The Reaper”
These are solos that I remember well enough to play on my “mouth guitar” at any time.
Led Zeppelin- Stairway to Heaven
Pink Floyd- Comfortably Numb
Van Halen- Eruption
Oh, and the Crazy Train solo is nice, as well.
This just in from my dusty memory banks:
Rick Nielson - Cheap Trick - Gonna Raise Hell (Dream Police)
Guitar/Bass Duo:
Steve Vai & Billy Sheehan - David Lee Roth - Elephant Gun
Anything by Zakk Wylde (the solo in “Stillborn” comes to mind). The man is a badass and a living legend. I’m going to see BLS in concert on the 11th and have been listening them every day for a month straight now.
Vai and Satch are also clutch, but how has Yngwie been neglected thusfar? The man has lightning for fingers!!!

I mentioned his solos on Bigfoot and Jet to Jet from the first Alcatrazz album early in the thread.
Black Star and I’ll See the Light Tonight solos from his own band ain’t too shabby neither.
Late to another good thread. So many have been listed that I agree with.
How about this one: Half Penny/Two Penny by Styx. Anybody familiar?
Steve Vai’s solo in “Tender Surrender” is mind-blowing. - YouTube
For the Love of God,
By Steve Vai. Among many many others.
Satriani, “One Big Rush” off the Flying in a Blue Dream disc. An older disc, but the whole song is basicly one fucking bad ass guitar solo. It’s immaculate.
Awesome prowess and ability by both.

I put this right up there with one of the most emotional solos I’ve seen:
SRV- Leave My Little Girl Alone (Live):
Stevie is in another place while he’s playing this. Lok at the way he’s attacking that Strat. In his mind’s eye, he’s beating the shit outta someone.

That one has got to be the most underrated song of all times.
