I really love Ritchie Blackmore's solos. Especially in Highway star or Child in time or Lazy.
I also really enjoy the emotional solos of Steve Hackett. Firth of fifth is my favorite!

There are just too many to mention, however here's a (much to short) list of some guitar solos I find amazing:
Prog:
Genesis - Firth of Fifth
Pink Floyd - Time
Rush - La Villa Strangiato
Yes: Too many to mention one in particular, maybe the acoustic guitar with piano in "Turn of the Century"
Non-Prog:
Carlos Santana - Song of the Wind, and many others
Deep Purple - Child in Time
Whisbone Ash - Throw down the Sword

Dude!! How could I forget Highway Star?? In addition to the wonderful guitar solo, that song also features one of Joh Lord's best Hammond solo's.

Not prog, but I have three:
Aqualung - Jethro Tull - Martin Barre plays an intense and tasteful solo on this one.
Too Many People - Paul McCartney - another wonderful, tastefully played solo.
All Right Now - Free - a Classic if there ever was one.

Aside from prog metal, "The Four Horsemen," by Metallica. I
don't know, 'A Stairway to Heaven's," solo is just too cliche and also
not prog. Sure it's an amazing piece by Page (which, by the way, I
mastered on the guitar) But, come on, it's Zeppelin. As for a
favorite prog solo, I would have to vote for Rush's, "Freewill."

Strangers passing in the street by chance two separate glances meet and I am you and what I see is me. And do I take you by the hand and lead you through the land and help me understand the best I can
