It's just too hard to pick one, or a few for that matter, so here's some:
Jimi Hendrix - All Along the Watchtower, Bold as Love
Dave Gilmour - Just about all of his. This guy is godly and has that unique style that I don't believe can be truly replicated. I know people really love the Comfortably Numb solo, and it is pretty stellar, but there is nothing like cranking Time up reaaalll loud and letting the dude wail. Gilmour said in Guitar World that he likes to crank the amp up so high that it slices through you like a razor, and I guess that's how he gets that rediculous tone.
Children of Bodom - Sixpounder, Needled 24/7, Bodom Beach Terror, Bed of Razor, etc. Alexi Laiho is a madman.
Neil Young - Dude has a really strange soloing style, but I really dig the guitar work on Down by the River, though I guess it's not so much a solo as it is just jamming.
The Doors - Light My Fire
I'll also have to second Johnny Greenwood's unorthodox wailing on Paranoid Android. Great fuckin' song.

anything from jimmy page live 1970-77ish, depending. the albums are great, but listen to the stairway solo on IV then the one from 5/25/75(on the earl's court part of the 2 disc dvd) fucking insane.
maybe thank you from orlando on august 30th or so in 71 I think...

Very nice! Mr. Metheny will be at the Wiltern in Los Angeles on the 24th of February. Stevie Ray Vaughan's blusy rendition of Jimmy Hendrix's Little Wing always gets me going (see attached).

Lots of really good stuff on here. Had to keep the thread open for a while to listen to them all. I wouldn't say this is my favourite, but it's definitely up there.
Er, just realized this thread is for guitar solos. Oh well.

Glad to see some other Metheny fans here. I had the pleasure of seeing him live in Vegas a while back (7 years or so). He is pretty amazing. And he even pulled out the 'Pikasso' guitar and played a piece. Its wild to watch him play that thing!
If you are unfamiliar with the Pikasso then heres the wiki link...clicky
