You know, there are a bunch of great solos in rock, picking the "best" one
seems kind of silly to me, I'd rather enjoy them. In no particular order:
Jay Graydon's solo on Steely Dan's "Peg"
Paul Kossof's solo on Free's "All Right Now"
Denny Dias on Steely Dan's "Boddhisatva"
Steve Howe does some great solo work on Yes' "Roundabout"
Danny Cedrone on "Rock Around the Clock"
Carlos Santana on "Yours is the Light" (where he actually has to blow over
changes)
The list is endless...
Cheers,
