Yes I think that's what I meant to say, not Reasons for Waiting. Another one - Pavlov's Dog Theme for Subway Sue.

If you haven't watched Mike Oldfield play, watch this



I saw Mike Oldfield few times in early 80's, with Moerlen Bros and Maggie Reilly. Fantastic gigs, I must say! Oldfield is one of the greatest guitar players, he has so unique, own style. And Pavlov's Dog, you're absolutely right! I think it's Pampered Menial time, right now Smile

Amen to that!

I think Hackett's Firth of Fifth is the greatest prog guitar solo ever as it is so perfectly and exclusively a prog guitar solo---

Never been a Pertucci solo fan. I like his riffs, his solos are shred-lite.

Hackett's Dancing with the Moonlit Knight is my fave in prog.
Zappa's Inca Roads
Devin Townsend on Deep Peace
Alex Lifeson on Limelight and Strangiato
You are quite a fine person, and I am very fond of you. But you are only quite a little fellow, in a wide world, after all.

Every Day, Firth of Fifth - Steve Hackett
Lunar Sea, Ice, Stationary Traveller - Andy Latimer
Jigsaw, Easter - Steve Rothery
 
There are many other brilliant ones by those artists and also people like Dave Gilmour, Dave Bainbridge, Andy Powell/Ted Turner and Brian Josh, but those seven stand out for me.

'What's New In Baltimore' by FZ stands out for me.

But I'll go with the solo on 'Yo Mama' instead.

The solo towards the end of "One Last Goodbye" from Anathema's Judgement album boasts a great emotional delivery.

The second solo of comfortably numb on Pulse
I stand with Roger Waters, I stand with Joan Baez, I stand with Victor Jara, I stand with Woody Guthrie. Music is revolution

Anything Allan Holdsworth has ever done. 
 
Any Fripp solo up to and including Beat.
 
One of my favorites (out of way too many to count) is Fripp in Sartori in Tangier.
 
I am starting to appreciate Hackett's Dancing With a Moonlight Knight solo over Firth of Fifth.
 
Yeah, anything by Holdsworth.
