Lotsa rock music nowadays have no solos in the music and the music flows and is structured right for the song. Solos fit where the song needs them, not always but as a song progresses in dynamics (or story telling) the guitarists can shine, but if you have to think about what you are doing rather than say it, you aren't a very good soloist.
When I think of some of my favorites, which are older artists they know exactly where to solo and what melody needs conveyed, artist like the late Stevie Ray Vaughn and Eric Clapton, for example, both guitarists and singers, they didn't start out singing well, but developed both their singing and guitar abilities, and let's face it, both know how to solo well.
Being well rounded as an artist is important, if your talent level isn't developed to its fullest give yourself some time, and practice and frustration, it all will come to you, if you are deligent.
Personally I love to watch a band that has a "hot" guitar player, that can do it all....tastefully.
