Please reply with the 3 numbers which you think have the best guitar solo ever. A vid is not really necessary but might be appriciated by the other Geeks.

Just to get it started, mine are:
1. Lynnyrd Skynnyrd - Freebird
(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wacfM3NRb_8)
2. Ayreon - Chaos
(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pMe2spCUwmM)
3. Metallica - One
(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AWwmIfy0GNE)

PS. The fact that these three records span 4 decades is a pure coincidence ;-)

Ya, I like the metallica on your posted.

I've always been a fan of Meatloaf. Now really a guitar solo, but still a good listen :)
