So is it really the culmination that creates the sound, or the sounds together. If that solo was backed up by, say, a mariachi band, would it be just as good? Do we know? Does its duration constitute something less than a whole melody? Why don't we ever talk this deep-down about stuff? Its where the real stuff is.

Yea, I would tend to say that while there are many great (and great sounding) guitar solos out there, the solo, while containing multiple notes, is still only one element of a larger whole. I don't define a song by its solo or lack of a solo, and tend to view a solo as only one of the legs supporting the expression of an idea. In the case of the particular solo Blastingas is talking about, I think its a leg that just stands, maybe not the fanciest leg, and it's certainly not the only leg, and one could probably saw it off and the other legs would be fine on their own.
