Scandalous Sex Suite, Part III: The Rapture sends me into orbit whenever I listen to it, and I'd really like to get out there and find some other standout guitar solos I might put onto a compilation. I want stuff that'll just send me soaring. I'm a fan of fuzz, feedback, etc., but I don't necessarily need it.

What would you guitar aficionados recommend?

...And mind you, rather than wanting names of great guitarist (because I know many), I'm looking for names of specific songs or albums wherein their best solos appear. Any genre.

Anyone?

small club live - "just my imagination"

septimo live - "motherless child"

"the war"

last npg ahdio, live, "undertaker/question of u"

Grand illusion- eric clapton
What does it take-chicago

Some favorites (excluding Prince):

Love Struck - Jesse Johnson
Liliquoi Moon - Me'shell Ndegeocello
King of Rock - Run DMC

Dag, too many to name, but off the dome . . .

ICNTTPOYM -- Live

Interactive

Hello 12" (intro) (but I hear that was Wendy)

Endorphinmachine

Purple Rain, in Atlanta, March 1993

Rock Hard In A Funky Place

Bambi
