Albums With the Best Guitar Solos
by 
Goliath 
In my little world there's nothing like a great guitar solo. This is my list of the solos I enjoy most. These are not on the list for the guitarist's technical skill, there are other solo's out there that are extremely difficult to play, but don't sound as good as these. No particular order after the top 3.
Top guitarists, in no particular order.

Eric Clapton
Jimi Hendrix

The best guitar solo of all time is in the title track. I only came across this track when I saw it voted the number one solo in a guitar magazine.

Guitar solo in Rock Bottom. The live version from Strangers in the Night is different and nearly as good.

John Wesley's guitar solo in the title track is outstanding. I wish it wasn't faded out for so long at the end, so unnecessary.

After you visited the chart that I posted thought that I'd check out yours. Excellent chart and you're right, there's nothing like a great guitar solo. Some great choices here.
