And then there's the first bit of Yngwie's solo on Alcatrazz's Too Young To Die, To Drunk To Live.
And finally whoever did the solo on The Beatles' I'm Down (which is also a contender for best intro).
The Black Crowes, "Descending"
SRV, "Lenny" (kinda just one long solo, but arguably the best blues instrumental of all time)
Metallica, "Orion" (kinda just one long solo, but arguably the best rock instrumental of all time)
GnR: "Rocket Queen"
Pink Floyd, "Mother" (most Pink Floyd lead playing is blissful, but "Mother" is the one I hear in my head most immediately)
Red Hot Chili Peppers, "I Could Have Lied"
Lou Reed, "Coney Island Baby" (not so much the solo but the dripping wet lead guitar the runs through the whole song)
Deep Purple, "Highway Star"
and it's hard to deny Queen's "We Will Rock You", love that energy
This below is my favourite Type of Solo
First solo is from 2:00 to 2:17 and then the outro solo, which is even better is from 3:02 onwards. Very skilful player and so imaginative with the target notes.
John De Faria: Who Knew? What a player.

at 4:15 although I think the whole thing is worth a watch...

Mastodon - The Czar
UFO - Rock Bottom
Van Halen - Ice Cream Man
Nirvana - In Bloom
The Knack - My Sharona (definitely the most fun to play!)
Tried learning that last year. It's bloody tricky!
There really are too many to choose from but I really love Bill Nelson's outro solo on Crying to the sky from the Sunburst Finish album. So tasteful.
And Comfortably Numb of course.
Whitesnake - Crying in the Rain!

So epic that Jon Sykes decided to disappear just after
I saw him on his Beyond the Astral Skies tour, his album that was an attempt to get away from completely disappearing up his own artistic arsehole. Live most of the vocals were handled by Nicky Moore ( who does some of the backing vox on the album ) and it's a pity he didn't pursue that line up after.
I'm a big Uli Roth fan, although more for the Scorpions years than his solo career. I've seen him a couple of times on the same stage as Michael Schenker and it seems like he's always "on" whereas Schenker can be extremely erratic.
He's a surprisingly affable chap, too. On the Scorpions deluxe reissues which came out a few years ago there's quite a lot of interview material and he's very jolly, not a hippy dippy weirdo at all.
