Omg forgot the best of all time: My Sharona.
I cut my teeth on Van Halen, Page, Clapton, Hendrix, Gibbons, SRV, Santana, Iommi. Instead of playing sports, I came home from school everyday and stood in the mirror and tried to figure out all the greats.
Today I look for the gems outside of the more typical guitar hero.
One more: Bye Bye Love / Eliot Easton.

One of my all-time favorite solos is the work by Tony Peluso in "Goodbye to Love" by the Carpenters. The lead break and outro are icing on the cake made with Karen's fantastic voice and drums.

Oh, yeah ... The Carpenters. The only sibling singing act where he was prettier than she was. And that was BEFORE she went all Anorexic.
OMG...
Almost all of the above (My Sharona?), and add...
Randy - Revelation Mother Earth/Steal Away the Night (and about 7 or 8 others that Randy did, but to me that is "definitive Randy")
Young - Thunderstruck
And not truly "solos" but instrumentals:
Alex Lifeson - 2112 Overture
Uncle Ted - Hibernation and Stranglehold

+1 to 2112 Overture.
My fav would have to be any version of "I'm So Afraid" by Lindsey Buckingham. Its more like a 6-7 minute guitar solo with some words thrown in for effect than an actual song

No love for Buckethead here I see. Say what you will about his wearing a KFC bucket on his head but he can really play. I'm not saying he competes with Gods (Paige,Clapton,Hendrix etc.) but check out his track Broken Mirror off of A Real Diamond in the Rough (a personal favorite of mine).
Stone Roses "Tears"
Pink Floyd "Time"
The Black Keys "Ten Cent Pistol"
