I never got McLaughlin on "Birds of Fire" - it just sounds like directionless noodle to me. I love the album, I just wish he'd stop playing so I can enjoy the great music!

All Lifeson's solos are great......
but some great one's by Steve Howe and Andy latimer also grab me by the throat.
Non-prog:
Frank Marino-Something's Comin My Way (What's Next)
Michael Schenker - Rock Bottom (UFO-Strangers In The Night)
Gary Moore - virtually anything-but Black Rose (Thin Lizzy-Black Rose) is brilliant.
Carlos Santana - Europa (Moonflower)

Steve Hackett- Return of the Giant Hogweed
Greg Lake- Karn Evil 9 First Impression
Steve Howe- Beginning of Gates of Delirium

Gary Green- Peel The Paint/ The House, The Street, The Room/ So sincere/ many others. I feel he was second best in the catergory of guitar solos. The master is of course Frank Zappa. Look at 'Shut up and play yer guitar (all three parts)'. That is amazing. And don't forget about "Guitar". Another bacth of awesome solos. Robert Fripp as also had alot of fantastic solos- Starless, Larks' Toungue, Dinosour, The world is my oyster kitchen..., just to name a few.
Three legendary guitarists, IMO.

Almost all Fripp solos are very pleasing. But to name one:
"Sailor's Tale" I love that grouchy solo.
I also like Zappa's solo from "I'm the Slime".

Barre - Aqualung
Fripp - I wouldn't call it a solo but his acoustic guitar playing on the second verse of Cirkus is mesmerizing
Hackett - Firth Of Fifth and live version of The Knife
Howe - Starship Trooper
MMEB's Mick Rogers - Father Of Day, Father Of Night
Procol Harum's Robin Trower - Crufiction Lane

Rush - YYZ
ABWH - Brother of Mine
Yes - Sound Chaser
Camel - Lady Fantasy
Pantera - 10's
I know I probably get flamed to death for this, but Trevor Rabin's from Rhythm of Love is good, imo.

Just to add some unmentioned: solo in Roger Waters' What God Wants III (in Amused To Death) is powerful. MOSTLY AUTUMN is my latest discovery and the best moments tend to be guitar solos (in Floydian style), for example in'The Last Climb'. But maybe I'd be so unimaginative and vote Firth of Fifth as THE ultimate classic guitar solo.
