Some good ones mentioned there ...

One that has a lasting memory for me is Van Halens solo on Jacksons Beat It. Having more felt it, than heard it, at a nightclub in Bournemouth years back. Can't remember the name of the club, but in the 80s part of the place, the sound system was absolutely perfect for that track.

More serious though - almost anything by Tito & Tarantula.

Get's my vote rather than the Whitney Houston over-sung (played) guitar solos from the 70's / 80's stadium rock era, regardless of their talents.

Hmmm....

November Rain is brilliant if a tiny bit cheesy.
Live version of Comfortably Numb is simply incredible.
Little Wing as with most of Hendrix's stuff wouldn't cause any waves at all today from a technical point of view, but there is something truly awesome about it.
Hmmm - there must be some slightly more Leftfield ideas - RATM? Aphex twin?
On the neo-classical side I rather like Uli Jon Roth's interpretation on the Concerto D'arnajuez (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hFdCFqQEAKM) and Yngwie Malmsteen's take on Beethoven's 5th.
Could be predicatble and suggest stairway, although I think what makes the solo great in that song is the rest of the track building up to it.
Freebird?
