    Disqualified. See the door ;)

    Look, everybody has tons of favorites, but pare it to five. No honorable mentions or whatever. Maybe you forget a major one. Pick five and live with it OR start another thread that isn’t as limiting.

    I'd love to elaborate - can only come and go (got those come and go blues!) since I'm working at the moment -- but I will add this gem from two great six string slingers, both have become a bit forgotten with time it seems - undeservedly forgotten.

    Just wait for a top 100. Or, worse, a denial of service flood of a billion youtube video posts from one member.

    times when short solos were kinda the norm but still had an impact
    01 Just like me Paul Revere and the raiders (incredible hard rocking song)
    02 Cant you hear my heartbeat Herman's Hermits (that must be some studio musician not a hermit)
    03 Its all over now Stones
    04 badge cream (short and sweet)
    05 mister you're a better man than I (guitar solo blows away the song)

    bonus live song
    plastic fantastic lover (live) Airplane
