There are not many guitarist (in the last 20 years) that can touch Jonny Greenwood. Too bad he doesn't get much chance to shine anymore. His live solo on "I Might Be Wrong" is incredible! then they had to muck it up on the album with all the techno stuff.

Honorable Mention...
Lets Go Crazy - Prince

According to Rolling Stone these are the "coolest" guitar solos of all time. I might agree with a couple but really?

bono, i like this list a lot. very little on this list would i dispose of. would MY list be different? maybe, probably. but it doesn't change the fact that most if not all of these are great solos.

Excellent choices eggman. I would like to add "From the Edge of the Deep Green Sea" to your list of Cure songs.
