Good choice Keith, you're quite right about the amount of Radiohead (although I like them  ;)), I think my top 5 would be 'ish;

1) Since I've been Loving You - Led Zeppelin.

2) Comfortably Numb - Pink Floyd.

3) Freebird - Lynard Skynard.

4) All Along the Watch Tower - Jimi Hendrix.

5) Like a Hurricane - Neil Young.

1,3 & 4 in NME Poll, could have picked 50 !  :)

I was coming on to this thread to add the greatest ever 'Flawed Masterpiece' Like a Hurricane by Neil Young and I see that Valleyboy has already beaten me to it.  Good choice and excellent taste Tony :) :)

Classic songs Valleyboy  
 
 Surprised    Samba pa ti by Carlos Santana or Parisienne walkway by Gary Moore were not in the mix :(

Been giving this some serious thinks over the last couple of days, and this is my list to add to many of those above:-

Jumpin Jack Flash (Live) Johnny Winter

Moonage Daydream from Bowies Ziggy Stardust - guitar work from the sadly missed Mick Ronson, an awesome musical talent.

I suppose you can't have guitar solos without Clapton so

Crossroads - Cream (hugely complimented by the bass work of jack Bruce)

And you can't mention the guitar without considering George Harrison and Pete Townshend.  Now whilst not really known for spinning out an elongated guitar solo, their great guitar work can be heard in

While My guitar Gently Weeps - Beatles

Quadrophenia (track from the LP of the same Name) - The Who
