Which songs include your top 5 guitar solo's people? :)

Mine would have to be:

1. Hotel California by Eagles.
2. November Rain by Guns n' Roses.
3. Seize the Day by Avenged Sevenfold.
4. Free Bird by Lynyrd Skynyrd
5. The Trooper by Iron Maiden.

Obviously there's loads that I love but those are the 5 I've been loving the most lately. :)

Thoughts?
 
some of mine are

stricken - disturbed
theme from a nofx album - nofx
warheads - extreme
deep purple - highway star (mostly because it reminds me so much of rock n roll racing on snes-epic game)
 
The Trooper by Iron Maiden
Cemetary Gates - Pantera
Fall to pieces - Velvet revolver
most of the songs on the blackening - machine head
together we are invinsable - muse
streetcar - funeral for a friend
 
Lots, but two that spring to mind immediately are the solos in Pink Floyd's Comfortably Numb and in Thin Lizzy's Still In Love With You. For the latter, if anyone's heard the 'One Night Only' live CD, with John Sykes on guitar/vocals, his guitar tone is the best I've EVER heard for a solo.

I can play some of all of them :D The Paul Gilbert one is :( though due to its difficulty level.

Paco De Lucia's solo in THIS version of Spain is literally unbelievable, shredding like that using fingerstyle is absolutely unreal (it's literally like exceptionally quick alternate picking technique but with fingers)...

Wow.. Ridiculous list... :/ I love guitar solos. :p
