GREAT Guitar Solos:

Robert Herndon said:
Having considered solos by Friedman, Moore, Jabs, Schenker, DiMartini, Hammet, Lifeson, Emmett, EVH, Sykes, and just about everyone else I can possibly think of, my vote was for Vivian Campbell's solo in "The Last In Line" because it really delivers everything in my evaluation criteria.

For those unfamiliar, here's my submission. Solo begins at 2:52

There have been some very good points made above about the relative merits of solos and what they represent in some genres of music and so on, but if I had to pick a solo from the ‘era’ and ‘genre’ in which it falls, this solo by Viv Campbell would be right up there with Iommi’s solo on Over and Over from the Mob Rules album.

There are many other solos that I love from many different players as well, and as much as I love listening to technically proficient guitar players even I switch off when it gets to ‘gymnastic’ playing that doesn’t, serve the song, to me at least.
