miamisammy29 4 Report post Posted January 28, 2006 Some of my favorites are "My Sharona" - The Knack Finally....somebody who agrees with me on this one!....Definitely one of the best one-hit wonders ever! I think the solo has to fit perfectly into the song to be considered "great".....not just some speedy solo or some long, drawn-out, I'm-just-showing-off-my-talent pile o' crap, or one where the producer says (in my best British record producer voice), "Boys, I think if you just added a three-minute solo, this song could be a real smash." Some of my favorites are: "Hotel California" (probably the best ever) "Stairway To Heaven" (obviously) "Civil War" "Train Kept A Rollin'" (Aerosmith's version, of course) "Iron Man" "Aqualung" "Golden Country" (REO Speedwagon's best) "Freebird" (of course) "Green Grass and High Tides" (the poor man's Freebird) "Middle Of The Road" (The Pretenders) "Hand Of Fate" and "Shine A Light" featuring Mick F***in' Taylor on the axe :guitar: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Incesticide 0 Report post Posted March 2, 2006 (edited) My list... 1. King Crimson - 21st Century Schizoid Man (this solo is the stuff of nightmares) 2. Deep Purple - Child in Time 3. Rainbow - Stargazer And the rest, in no particular order: Jimi Hendrix - Little Wing Lynyrd Skynyrd - Free Bird Jimi Hendrix - Star Spangled Banner Led Zeppelin - Stairway to Heaven (really overrated solo, but a classic to listen to anyway) Yes - Starship Trooper High Rise - Sadame The Velvet Underground - Sister Ray I'd also love to see someone make a guitar version of Beethoven's 7th symphony, there's a bit that'd sound great as a guitar solo. p.s. No Offence to EVH but i don't consider Eruption to be a solo, IMO it looks more like an exercise for advanced technique rather than anything else.
