1. Any hammond solo by Keith Emerson.

2. Steve Howe's guitar solo at the end of Starship Trooper from Yessongs.
 
3. Ian Anderson's solos on Crosseyed Mary.
 
And not a top favorite, but in Rick Wakeman's Return to the Center of the Earth, in the fourth track, he orchestrates what would be a guitar solo to the flute section. It sounds awesome.

For me the greatest keyboard solo is in RPWL's "3 lights".
Starting just after 5.00, it kicks in with what sounds like an inverted gasp of breath.

To me the feel of this solo is so unbounded and real, unlike any I know.
It just sounds real, unpretentious and is sublimely executed.

Check it out!

The trumpet solo in Kayo Dot´s The Manifold Curiosity!!! Even when I disliked Kayo Dot I would listen to this song only for that solo!!! Now I think it´s the best of their career... well, I havent heard the new album yet, so I better not jump to conclusions

Search for "Kayleigh" on You-Tube to find the guitar solo part played by some amateurs.  A real treat.  That's a beautiful solo, in fact everytime Rothery picks up and plays a guitar it's like the heavens opening up and angels singing.  Ok so that's a stupid metaphor, but you get my meaning, lol.  It's a wonder Steven can still play with those chubby fingers, lol.  "Sugar Mice", "The Other Half" are two more examples, but he's done so much it's silly.

How about Martin Barre's amazing blues-rock solo on Jethro Tull's We Used To Know?

Edit: and don't let me forget the bestial bass solo on Koenjihyakkei's Tzidhall Radast (from Angherr Shisspa).
