favorite guitar solos

the riff in the beginning of "Pride (In the Name of Love)" could possibly be one of my favorite riffs ever.
the beginning of "Where the Streets Have No Name" is also awesome.

Very underappreciated, but a player's player, Eric Johnson, by far the most exquisite phrasing in the realm of instrumental rock.
Lots of favorites, but the intro to Cliffs of Dover has got to be in the top 5 of all time.
I'm surprised no one mentioned Joe Satriani or Steve Vai yet, I would say, Flying in a blue dream and For the love of God from those two.
In jazz, anything by early George Benson, Pat Metheny, Joe Pass, Pat Martino or Adam Rogers will do the trick

Quote from rickty:
Since you asked, one of the best, if not the best solo, is by Yngwie Malmsteen in "Queen in Love" which is on the Triology album. (Apart from other qualities, it's very cleanly fretted).
Richard
Agreed, but let's be frank, we can listen to at most 1 solo by Yngwie before the saturation point is reached, lol

Amen to Always with me, always with you and Flying in a Blue Dream. Ditto on Eric Johnson's material.
Three guitar solos on Queensryche's "Empire" album come to mind: the title track, Resistance, and One and Only.
Pink Floyd's "Comfortably Numb" and Metallica's "Master of Puppets" and "Sanitarium" are also terrific.
Can't forget about Boston's "Foreplay/Long Time" and "Don't look Back."
Lots of good ones out there...
