Wow! I can't beleive there's not even a mention of a Lifeson solo. He gets no respect!
I saw Geddy was even mentioned in this thread but no Alex!
What about Tom Sawyer? Over odd time and it still shreds and grooves.

Better Than You
Does anybody else remember when a guitar solo was part of the formula for a good rock song? As much as I love the music of today, I miss the time when a band had to be able to play thier instruments. Problem was that the pressure to be able to play them brought on the disgrace of things like Warrant (gutiar players in the band didn't play a lick on the second album).

I posted a lifeson solo. It held #1 in my book for quite a while.

I don't know the guys name, but the band Candlebox has a song called "You". The lead is played mostly on 1 note. One of the best I've ever heard.

Roy Buchanan - In the Heat of the Battle
with Stanley Clarke......I never knew that guy could play like that
The solo on Dios' Last in line is gripping.
MSG - Gimme your love - I think it was Pat Hughs??

Re: LAZY is one of my favorite songs!
Absolutely! I feel so fortunate to have had a father that pushed this kind of music on me as a young child. I remember when he got new speakers for his stereo, and he put the machine head vinyl on the player, I was absolutely stunned. I was like 7 y/o. That organ solo intro sounded so creepy to me, it sounded so "trippy". I never needed drugs growing up when there was music like this that gave me a buzz naturally.
Now, trying to pick one single guitar solo is not easy. I refuse to pick one.

Tom Sholtz(Boston) solo on "Gonna Hitch a Ride" is one of the most melodic and rockin solos ever.
A couple more memorable ones that I really like are mark knopflers main solo on "Sultans of Swing" and the solo on "Games People Play" by The Alan Parsons Project.
........tons of great solos out there from the PAST.The lead guitar and the art of the "solo" seems to be a dead art these days.

I was just listening to SRV's Mary Had A Little Lamb solo. Made me feel good.
My dad has been playing Hideaway alot lately, he's learning it, and it's stuck in my head now 'cause he plays it all day.
But it's a great song. For his time, Clapton was very very ahead of anyone.

I agree with a couple of others that thing the solo should "go" with the song and not just be a fast quick shrilly thing that goes in the middle of the song.
"Crazy Little Thing Called Love" Brian May (Queen) This song has tone all over the place.
"Shake It Up" Elliot Easton (The Cars)
"Hotel California" Joe Walsh/Don Felder (Eagles)

Lots of great posts, here.
SRV "Little Wing" makes me stay put until the song is over. The dynamics and feel that Stevie puts into that song is incredible.
As far as the bass goes, Geddy obnoxiously solos through everything.... perfectly.

The guitar groove on Nothing To Loose - KISS ALIVE always grabs me by the booboo and makes me want to play guitar! Its simple, but its movin' & grovin'.
I saw the Kiss Army tribute band last year, that was pretty cool since we don't have a snowball's change in hell of Kiss ever playing our little town. They totally looked and sounded like the real thing. Some pyrotechnics too, which kind of freaks me out after the Rhode Island nightclub incident. I was standing in front of the stage with about 200 - 300 people between me and the front door.
