Umm, where's Jimi Hendrix's 'All Along the Watchtower'??
The solo on that is killer and obliterates anything Pink Floyd can do.

Comfortably Numb, you reckon? David Gilmore's solo for "Money" off "Dark Side Of The Moon" is waaaay better than Comfortably Numb!

What about Randy Rhodes on Ozzy's Diary of a Madman? Lie down in a dark room, turn it up and close your eyes - your spine will shiver!

Slash's solo from November Rain and Eric Clapton on Phil Collins' I Wish It Would Rain Down' should be on the list!
