Deep Purple - Highway Star
Led Zeppelin - Ten Years Gone
The Allman Bros. - In Memory of Elizabeth Reed
Robin Trower - Too Rolling Stoned

Trower - Daydream
Blackmore - the whole Lazy intro & song always turned me on
Page - Heartbreaker was the first solo/solo I ever heard and sold me on Page for years then of course it was blown out of the water by
EVH - Eruption

So many to mention and all previous statements are so true. The one "guitar song" that has always left me floored, and just so fuckin' tired, I had to take a nap is "Machine Gun" by Hendrix from Band of Gypsys. Also "Voodoo Chile(slight return)" was always a favorite. And I have to second "Riviera Paradise" by SRV.

frankly Hendrix's Star Spangled Banner is as epic as it gets. was kinda like "yo people, this is how we play the guitar now"... course he did that alot back then

Many songs from "Electric LadyLand" are stunning, from the point of reference being 1968. Still Raining, Still Dreaming, 1983(A Merman I shoulf turn to be) The 17 minute original version of VooDoo Chile, with Stevie Winwood(organ),Jack Casady(bass). Crosstown Traffic, imo, Jimi's best album, next to Axis: Bold as Love. Can't forget SRV's cover of Third Stone from the Sun from SRV boxset.

Almost anything Cream did had a badass solo in it. Of course, that's because Clapton was in the band.

Br00tal statement. I prefer SRV but Clapton is a legend after his remarkable solo career and Blind Faith, Cream, Derek and Dominoes.

Dude, think about it. SRV was just coming out of rehab and put out a great album (In Step) when Clapton hadn't really done anything worthwhile in a few years.
It would have been a shame if he had died too and neither should have, but I would have rather he die than SRV
EDIT: Fuck you for editing my post, Mathias. Don't be like Dodens and fucking edit my shit for no reason

Clapton's solo career wasn't even close to remarkable. Most of his later material is pop-rock garbage (Blues Power, After Midnight, Hello Old Friend, Let It Rain, Promises, etc). The only thing close to remarkable he did after Cream was Derek and the Dominoes and even that is debatable. Bell Bottom Blues is a fucking great song though. You can't really call his tenure with Blind Faith remarkable, either, because they only did one album. Cream was the best shit he did. Every Cream song I've heard is awesome.
Cocaine is pretty sweet, too. That's about it though.
Everything SRV did was remarkable. He truly was a prodigy that was taken too soon. Clapton was past his peak while SRV wasn't.
