off the top of my head, if we're talking guitar, I'd probably vote for either the second solo from "Comfortably Numb" or the solos from Winterhawks "Period Of Change"

It sounds cheesy, but since we are talking 80's leads: I can listen to Vitto Bratta play the lead in White Lion - Wait all day long.

I'm so sorry.
Elmore James version of Rollin and Tumblin.
You'll never hear those common five notes played any better.

I have to say that Joe Satriani is an amazing guitarist, who has schooled numerous other great guitarists of varying puruasions. BUT, I can't think of a more boring way to spend an hour than listen to one of his albums. It's like elevator music. Being an awesome guitarist doesn't mean you can write great melodies, or chord progressions, or rhythm arragements. I'm sorry to the Satch fans, I respect the guy, but DAMN! He needs to join a band and get himself schooled on taste!
As for punk rock equalling shitty guitarists, all I need to say is BAD BRAINS. Dr. Know has fusion chops from hell and is a great reggae rythm player. Bad Brains guitar lines and solos are INCRRRRRRRREDIBLE.
Santana is a great guitarist. But is it just me or does he have 8 or 9 solos that he seems to plug into almost every tune? Okay new Santana album, let's insert patented Santana solo #4 on this one!

That version of that song is incredible.
It has this amazing vibe about it.
Elmore James was *the* man.
'The Sky Is Crying' and 'It Hurts Me Too' are two of my favorite tracks of all time.

This thread got sideways there for a while.
I gotta agree with Mr. Light..That "Relish" album has got some serious guitar on it...And TONE for days.
The Hendrix version of "All Along The Watchtower" prompted Dylan to 'never play it again since hes(Hendrix) made it all his own.. The solos' are a guitar primer....especially the 12 string slide part.....
Great solos have something about them that is so final. Its all said and done when they're over.
Steve Lukather has this ability on ANY song hes on...The middle primary guitar solo on "Rosanna" is really tight and complete and then theres the outtro soloing...what a HAM...The guy is a player.
Guys that think up this stuff are NOT generally going at it from a mathematical viewpoint. Its someplace lower.
Claptons' rendition of Freddy Kings "Someday After Awhile"
Since I've Been Lovin You....Page
Still Got The Blues.....Gary Moore
Back In Black.....Angus Young....Yeah a lot of guys can play it....but he thought of it
Train Kept A'Rollin......Joe Perry

My fave would probably be the one in 'Another girl, another planet' by the Only Ones.

Most solos Jimi Hendrix ever played. Some of the work on Machine Gun, a live version of Voodoo Child I heard was amazing and the entire work for a live Bleeding Heart was too good to be true.

About What? Joan Osborne? No, not at all. Top to bottom, that album is perfect.
About The Color and the Shape? Again, no, although I should probably say that what I like about that record is all the little additional guitar parts, and they have not been there since, so I think that what I like about that album is as much Pat Smear as anything. But the songs - songs such as Everlong - are largely Dave Grohl's, so he is as resposable as anyone.
But if you want to hear a perfect album (not just a single, but album) go listen to Relish. Absolutely amazing. It is about as good as you are ever going to hear when talking about the pop album as an artform. It is not any one song, though they are all amazing, but it is the precision of the guitar parts on each song; the unbelievable voice (William Whitman, who recorded that album, once said that you basically put a mic in Joan Osborne's general vicinaty and it sounded perfect every time); the pacing of the album; the song selection; the sound of the drums; the groove of the drumer; and feel of the bass (largely Mark Egan, by the by, who has chops for years, not that you will hear them on this album); and the tone, the tone the tone. It is not just one of the best Vocal albums of the ninties, and one of the best guitar albums of the ninties, it is also one of the best recorded, one of the best bass albums, and one of the best drum albums. It is, in short, perfect top to bottom.

Yup, he did.
And you know, I've never asked him, buy considering how much I like the record, and how much I like the AC30, it wouldn't surprise me a bit.
By the by, they have a new version of the AC30 out which, while not hand wired like the last version they had out, still sounds REALLY good. And they are only about $1000.

Do you forget Mark Farner's groundbreaking solo in "Locomotion"?
But seriously folks, how 'bout Rick Derringer's "Livin' In The USA" on Edgar Winter's White Trash "Roadwork"? That solo SMOKES, as well as Ten Years After "I'm Going Home" from Woodstock.

Yeah to The Relish record. Again. It IS the most perfect piece of ART I've ever heard. Theres a lot of details about its recording and gear on gearslutz by WW hisself.The AC30 was all over it. Several of them. Its Eric Bazilions' favorite amp. He's also in the Hooters with keyboardist Rob Hyman. He's also responsible for the guitar sounds on Cyndi Lauper's Shes So Unusual.
All you neophytes should get this record and seriously listen to it. Its a recording primer. Simple sounds done simply and mixed tastefully. Theres no tricks. No special effects. Nothing hidden. Its all there for the listening.
WW likes the Gefell mics BTW.
This gives rise to another vote for best solo...Man In The Long Black Coat.....Eric Bazillion.....or how about the guitar work on All You Zombies by The Hooters.
