Guilty pleasure, but loved it for years.

hard to beat Dinosaur Jr for a solo
always like a solo right at the start of a song

I don't know if it counts but I like Classical Gas by Mason Williams .

Iron Maiden

The Red and the Black - guitar "solo" (4 guitars and drums) starts around 6.30. You've got to remember that these guys are pensioners.

And Nicko is the oldest of the lot!

under-rated band in my view. They somehow sounded unique in a VERY crowded grunge/post-grunge/punk field.

I guess you've still got to be near the top of your game, to have toured with Bowie?

Hard to pin it down to one, but Iron Maiden - Phantom of the Opera, immediately springs to mind.

I don't think Iron Maiden guitar solos taken on their own are necessarily remarkable, it is the songs as a whole where it is, Phantom, Hallowed, To Tame a Land, Rhyme, Infinite Dreams, Sign of the Cross, Paschendale ...

Adrian Belew is such an underrated guitar player. He got some amazing sounds out of his guitar such as on King Crimson's Elephant Talk. And I loved what he did with Zappa. That was such a great band with Patrick O'Hearn and Terry Bozzio.
