Here are just a few of my favorite solos:

Unearth - Zombie Autopilot. I love how the solo starts out super fast and technical by Buz, then switches over to Ken who plays it a little slower, but with an awesome wah and great taste.

Metallica - Welcome Home (Sanitarium) - I absolutely love the solos in this song, most of all the first one at the beginning. I like how it stays very interesting and moves back and forth. This is one of my favorite solos to play on the guitar too.

X Japan - Scars. This is just one of the most interesting and cool solos I can think of. I love how it starts out kind of slow with wah and a cool theme, then goes super fast, and at the end is going into crazy trem bar convulsions before going into the bridge.

At The Drive-In - Invalid Litter Department. I love the solo at the end of the song. More than a solo, it's just crazy awesome lead that's being played over the awesome rhythm guitar while the singer screams his lungs out.

Alice In Chains - Them Bones - just one of the coolest solos ever in rock/alternative history

Led Zeppelin - Stairway To Heaven. I just think the solo in "Stairway" is one of the most awesome solos in rock history. Love it to pieces.

Hide - Dice. I just love the solo in this song. It's so raw and vicious.

Jimi Hendrix - Purple Haze. No explanation needed.

John Petrucci - Lost Without You. I'm trying to avoid using solo guitar artists, but I wanted to include this one just because the solo is so packed with powerful emotion and... yeah, dang good stuff.

Megadeth - Tornado Of Souls. The solo in this song is probably my favorite in any Megadeth song. For the specifics of why it's so great, ask HBer.

Orgy - Fiction (Dreams In Digital). This whole song is great and the solo completely fits in with the rest of the song. Just an awesome solo.

Red Hot Chili Peppers - Aeroplane. Great song and once the solo comes in at the end, it just blows you away.

Sevendust - Black. Personally this is one of my favorite solos ever.

Yamaarashi - Next Round. I like the way the jazz style bass and jazz style guitars go well together with the cool jazzy solo over it. All on 7-strings with a Japanese nu-metal/rap/jazz/etc. vibe.

That's it for now, but I have about a million solos I love.
