Longing for the Darkness
That awesome driving one in Wreath. Last time I heard it I just finished exams, I nearly picked up my Tv and threw it against the wall; it's that intense.
The SINGLE best Opeth solo?

Sorry for double-posting. The look on Mike's face whenever he plays live is awesome; the way he gets so involved in the piece. Windowpane inspired me and my friends so much we covered it at a school dance gig we did. Singing it took me to a higher plane, and we saved some unenlightened souls who'd never heard of Opeth.

Missed oppurtunity for yet another pointless argument
I gotta say, either Serenity Painted Death at 3:15 or Master's Apprentices, the big riff at about 8:53 and including the buildup. I just feel like growling everytime I hear it

Hmmm, this is a TOUGH question...
There are several that spring to mind for me. Both of Mike's solos in A Fair Judgement are excellent, Mikes solo in Deliverance also sends chills down my spine. TGC has an awesome solo, and the solo work in Windowpane has the most perfect tone heard this side of David Gilmour. I don't rate Peter on the same level I rate Mike, but his solo from When is also very appropriate.
However, if I were to pick ONE solo... just one, as a personal favourite... it has to be Godhead's Lament. The way it just flows so fluidly, and leads bang into that glorious melodic vocal passage... it gets me, every time. That solo was the first time I realised Mike was my favourite metal guitarist.
It is Mike, right? It definately sounds like him... if it's Peter I'm gonna look like a total ass now

I'm with daz436. There's a really strong feeling of completion and sincerity during the last solo in AFJ. Especially that pedal-point right toward the end.

I seem to be one of the few people i know who adores all of The Funeral Portrait's solos. If i had to choose one.. it'd be the outro solo. I just think they're brilliant.
But yeh.. i love the solo for moonlapse vertigo too.
