Living Color - Cult of Personality. I know a few people that hate it but for some reason I love it.
Transit of Venus - Ragdoll. :D It's just so perfectly suited to the song. and flows nicely.
AFK.

all the solos by Jim Campilongo on The Little Willies. This guy is truly sick - if you think you dont like countryish stuff check out what a real pervert does when given a chance! :shock:

what about the guitar solo in "Owner of a lonely heart" ...so weird people think its a keyboard! (also "I want to break free" by Queen)

He's a very underrated guitarist. One of my favs is his solo on "My Best Friends Girl."

Cheesy as the song is, I love Bruce Kulick's acoustic solo on 'Forever' by Kiss.
