Songs You Just Listen For The Guitar Solos?

Nowadays whenever I listen to Stuck in Time by The Living Tombstone I always skip to the guitar solo. :v

Hi,

Of course it's always a 'team game'. Even in soccer you need a defence and a goal keeper but generally its the strikers that create the excitement. In some ways the guitarist is the striker and the drums and bass are the defense and goalkeeper.

Not exclusively for the solo, but there are songs where the solo is the high point that you look forward to as you're listening. A good example: Home Invasion / Regret #9.

Generally I'm with those who say they don't listen to music like this, however I will mention one song, which I actually like as a whole, however it has a really outstanding guitar solo while some other elements of it are rather controversial (and let's say not all to my liking, even though overall it still makes for a great song), which is Camel's Summer Lightning.

I prophesy disaster wrote: A benefit of having a digital recording on a computer is that one doesn't need to sit through the whole song if they only want to listen to some section of it. Sometimes, I repeat bits of tracks that I especially enjoy.

I've done that myself. But the question or challenge is: Songs You Just Listen For The Guitar Solos? and to me that means sitting through the whole song while waiting for the part you actually enjoy. Solos you listen to while skipping the rest, is different.
