So ... Choose your favourite solo! If it is not in there, vote for Other and state your favourite solo (I can only put 24 choices, so I won't cover all the great ones)
I choose: Achilles Last Stand. (both solos)
So much power!!!!!!!!!!!!! Amazing soloing.

Great choice. The entire song is amazing, and I feel it doesn't get enough recognition.
I personally have no favorite guitar solo. There are simply too many good ones. For the sake of the poll I too will pick Achilles.

John Michell's solo on Arena's "Solomon" is my favourite. But Arena's "Fool's Gold", "Serenity" and "Sirens" is also excellent.
From the list I would choose Comfortably numb, from P.U.L.S.E.

how about CREAM- Deserted Cities of the Heart. I LOVE that solo.
EDIT: hearing it live this year (or "last" year) was incredible. Of course it
wasn't nearly as good as the original but I was ecstatic when they started to
play the song. It's my favorite Cream song.

My favorite from the one on the list is Comfortably Numb. However, Steve Hackett's solo on Neal Morse's ? album, song "12", has to be the best I've ever heard. Unfortunately, most people haven't had the pleasure of hearing this amazing solo.

Ritchie Blackmore's guitar solo on "Child In Time" is the best IMHO...

I would just like to thank whoever put this poll together for not putting Lynyrd Skynyrd's "Free Bird" on the list. Once you've heard that solo, you've heard it a million times. So overrated.
