Comfortably Numb. This still impressed me after 32 years. Perhaps he have more technical solos than CN but this is "The Most Emotional" Dave solo for me. AND one of 2-3 fade outs that I like, happened in this song. Normally I don't like Fade Out in the end of songs.

The guitar work that starts around 5:30 on Dogs is one of my favourite musical moments. PERFECT!
Anyway all of them are absolutely magic.

It's impossible to pick. If someone asks me my top 10 favorite guitar solos, 6 or 7 are Gilmour's. I'll try to make a top 10.

1-Time
2-Comfortably Numb
3-Pigs
4-High Hopes
5-Echoes
6-Shine on you Crazy Diamond
7-Mother
8-Castellorizon 
9-Dogs
10-Money
I shook my head and smiled a whisper knowing all about the place

No votes for High Hopes yet? Well, I'll have to give it the first one then. Though it is actually a bit difficult to choose between several of them.

Ahhh... No excitement about Money?!?! Wink
I like the dynamics in the solo and the spacey feel at certain points.

Sheezus........
.......every time this guy touches a guitar, it's magic. I always love what he does on Raise My Rent, but really impossible to pick. He does some great solos on Atomic Rooster's Headline News album (from '84). Generally, his tone is PERFECT. Thinking about it, there's not one single solo from him I dislike. Another Brick II would possibly be his definitive solo for me.........

But every listed track is great. Echoes is my all-time favorite Floyd song followed by Atom.
I stand with Roger Waters, I stand with Joan Baez, I stand with Victor Jara, I stand with Woody Guthrie. Music is revolution

Comfortably Numb, but the fading off final of Fat Old Sun is one of his bests.

Hard to pick one over the other but for today I'll go with Pigs. I do prefer the live version that I've got, but the original is also quite a beautiful piece of butter guitar.

Dogs is the better solo but nothing speaks to me more than Echoes.

Yeah it's a tough choice, I don't know yet.

Btw, choose your favourite solo of there are more in one song (for example for shine on or dogs).

Comfortably Numb does it for me.
