: I would have to say Tom Sawyer by Rush... though that's includes a lot of bass to drive the solo, I have to say Alex Lifeson really makes that solo sound amazing.
I have a bunch of favorites, but my top ones are:
1 - Another Brick In the Wall Part II - every note is perfectly selected and placed.
2 - Hotel California - it's perfectly set up by the verse/stop that precedes it, and the doubling at the end gives me chills.
3 - U2's New Year's Day - not the hardest to play, I'm sure - but it's got a huge sound that just makes the song. And sounds even better live.

+ 1.
And also Eric Clapton in While my guitar gently weeps.
Plus a controversial one: Live Forever, by Oasis' Noel Gallagher.
+1 to that.
Don't know if you've seen/heard THIS version of that song. Prince did some solo work that is just amazing.
Nevermore - Engines Of Hate
It is extremely epic. It's what we would hear if the world was ending.

And yet, some folks think Prince is a hack
. Or maybe he was just stealing more Hendrix licks 
.
