Poll: Guitar Solos better than their Songs

Fischman · 2019-12-28T16:07:01-05:00

It struck me that there are some songs which either were not taken seriously in their time or have become passé/targets of ridicule over the years, yet they had pretty awesome guitar solos. Or maybe the song was always good, but the solo still better. A great guitar solo should support the song, but in some cases it is simply just so much better than the song that it becomes memorable in its own right. Which of these is your favorite solo? Which outshines its song the most? And does the best solo belong to the best song?

Here's another killer solo. It's a great song, but the solo is truly one for the ages.

Alan Parsons Project - Games People Play; solo by Ian Bairnson @3:10.

Gotta' go with the album version as the single version is badly truncated.
