Best guitar solos of the 90's

Tough decade right! 

Eric Johnson - Desert Rose
Holdsworth - Level 42's A kinder eye 

All I got so far, maybe something from Shawn Lane or Satriani's the Extremist?

Big Jim (Martin) solos on FNM Angel Dust. The rest of the band hated him so cut his solos down to minimum. They are still superb.

Graham Coxon's solo on Coffee & TV and Jonny Greenwood on Paranoid Android.

Probably one of my favourite solos ever.

Get the funk out - nuno bettencourt

Brian May agrees, and he's a professor of wizardry and hairdressers or something

I always thought the Manic's 'La Tristesse Durera' had a great solo.

The Fly - U2

Bellycaster

Best Pop Song Solo of the 90's is by whoever played the solo on "The One and Only" by Chesney Hawkes.

Solo at 2:34

It was written and co-produced by Nik Kershaw so I’d assume him. I saw Nik live, long time ago now but my memory of it was he stuck a blazing solo in the middle of every song.

I thought it was Nik Kershaw as well @EricTheWeary but I was once informed I was wrong, but I've forgot who the actual real player was that someone corrected me with.

Phil X's is closer to the recorded version. Spent ages and ages trying to learn to play that as a kid. So yeah gets my vote for  nostalgia reasons alone.
