This was my original favourite when I was a kid. We would skip the first part of the song just to get to the solo

Paranoid by Sabbath has always been one of my favorites. Oh and Wicked World, too.
There's a solo in Powerslave that always f*cking demolishes me.
Some of my favorite solos are in Dogs by Pink Floyd.
Limelight by Rush is up there too (but Alex Lifeson played a ton of my other favorites, too).
Lucretia by Megadeth.
I'm sure more will come to me later.

Vivian Campbell's solo on Rainbow in the Dark is great. It's very John Sykes-ish.

All the solos are great. I recall, the first time I heard the speed run on Don't Talk to Stranger. I had to rewind my cassette tape about five times to believe it.

This song has the greatest solo ever written. Surprised it hasn't been brought up yet.
This one is also great. Right around the 5 minute mark is when it starts I think.
Plus just about every solo mentioned above are all great.

I was gonna bring up Floyd - Another Brick in the Wall. Comfortably Numb works, too, though.

David Gilmour's solos are the perfect example of the old saying "less is more". Great player!

A little twist on this thread. Solos at the beginning of a song.
Scorpions - The Sails Of Charon
Gary Moore - End of The World (With Jack Bruce on vocals) I remember hearing this on the radio with my brother and we were blown away!Who is this? Back in the day when radio ruled!
