Am I Evil - Diamondhead

Sweet Leaf - Black Sabbath

Dance Of Death - Iron Maiden

Heartbreaker - Led Zeppelin

Rock Bottom - UFO

At Least some of my favorite anyway...

There's a band called paragon that has some good guitar work, one solo in particular that stands out in my mind is one off their song "Impaler".

Oficina G3's first album indeferencia has a sick solo on almost every song- I don't know bout their newer stuff. Guitarist is Juninho Afram- really talented guy.

Anyways, some random obscure stuff thrown in there.

I know it's probably trite to say this, but the guitar solo on Pink Floyd's Comfortably Numb seems to be perfect in every way, and I don't even really like the song... just the guitar solo.

I think I posted this in this thread when I first joined the forum, but here's a vid.

My personal favorite of all time, the work with the picking hand alone is enough to make it great.

It's just a darn fine guitar solo, that seems to echo throughout the decades... there's nothing trite about that!

Lines In The Sand by Dream Theater. The little solo partway through the song gives me craaaazy shivers everytime. It's not super fast and may not even be all that technical.. but damn, is it ever good.

I still LOVE the guitar solo in the middle of the Genesis song "Firth of Fifth", it may not be an all balls out guitar wankfest, but its a subtle, moving, that takes that particular track to all new heavenly heights... Steve Hackett's guitar playing is both subtlely beautiful and creative all at once...

Cosigned. But I prefer the work towards the end just a bit more.
