tried this thread in the music addicts club but failed D:
think i might get a better response here heh
let's see what you guys come up with.

my favorite is the third solo in Sweet Child o' Mine by Guns and Roses, played by Slash.

another good one that comes to mind is the bridge of Seize the Day by Avenged Sevenfold, played by Synyster Gates.

and then of course Eruption by Eddie Van Halen is always fun to listen to.

wow fail :(

bark at the moon- ozzy osbourne
eruption- van halen
bat country- avenged sevenfold
poison- alice cooper

I'll add more later but for now:

'Stricken' by Disturbed has a pretty awesome solo in it. Plenty of feeling in the playing, which can often be missing in guitar solos.

'Trippin' on a Hole in a Paper Heart' by Stone Temple Pilots has a cool solo. It really fits in with the rest of the song due to its scattered nature.

'Little Sister' by Queens of the Stone Age. What can I say? It's really catchy and the peculiar timing just makes it so much fun to play.

'Voodoo Child (Slight Return)' by Jimi Hendrix. Do I really have to explain! :)

I do like 'Sweet Child O' Mine' as well, you've got to show Slash some love! ;)

Totally missed this thread. ;_;

There are quite a few I'm fond of

- anything with a solo by The Red Hot Chili Peppers, Jimi Hendrix or Stevie Ray Vaughan
- Thoughts of a Dying Atheist and Knights of Cydonia, by Muse
- the second solo in Estranged and the solo in Don't Cry, both by Guns 'n Roses
- the solo at the end of The Mosquito Song, by Queens of the Stone Age
- the solo in Jolene, by Cake
- the opening solo in Crazy on You, by Heart
- the solo towards the end of Things We Do, by Indigenous
- the solo at the end of Rick James, by JUDE
- a bunch of stuff by Led Zeppelin, but particularly Stairway to Heaven, White Summer/Black Mountain Side and Fool in the Rain
- the solo at the end of the acoustic version of The Last Rebel, by Lynyrd Skynyrd
- the solo in the live version of King Without a Crown, by Matisyahu
- Mother and Comfortably Numb, by Pink Floyd
- I Still Remember, by Blackmore's Night
- Jacob's Ladder, by Rush
- Smooth and Put Your Lights On, by Santana
- Blue Jeans, by Silvertide

I'm sure there's plenty I missed, but that's a start.
