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

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."

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.

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.

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

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!

Some of my favorites : Dire Straits - Brothers in Arms, Blind Guardian - Noldor, Eloy - Castle in the air.
These are some of my faves but not the most obvious ones

I agree, anybody who loves Hackett's work should listen to this piece of music. I actually prefer it to any solo he did with Genesis!
But my actual favourite solo is Steve Howe 'To Be Over'. Still makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up on every listen.
