Thanks for all your opinions, i have discovered the Gilmour solo which has made starting the thread worthwhile !!
Another I missed is "Still got the blue" by Gary Moore.

I have a friend who thinks its the best piece of music ever written in the world, ever.

It was good listening to it in the sixth form block all those years ago, but its off-the-shelf standard formula guitar playing in the same style as many American "rock" bands are.

Wasn't there a horrifc 80's version with it mixed in with Stairway to Heaven or something? A bit like taking your favourite dog outside one evening for a walk and for no reason at all hacking it to death with a blunt axe.

Once there is a definative version i.e Rolfs. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IPOIy4Kb ... re=related All others artists should be banned from re-recording.

Most epic solo for me is La Villa Strangiato, the way Lifeson takes it from slow and mellow to fast and brutal is unmatched. The live version is truly extraordinary.

Great lyrics on that track as well.

Nice to see Rush get big shouts, a very underrated band, but then I'm a bass player so no wonder I think they're great.

You can't make a claim like that without telling us which Kitten and 'Babes line ups you mean.
