For me Bohemian Rhapsody>We Will Rock You, but I think the greatest thing Brian May ever did was The Show Must Go On.

And I agree with what Elph once pointed out about the solo in Can't Stand Myself by James Chance and the Contortions, that would be my third favourite
Yeah, I'm very far, too, in the end I value more the feeling.
That one is freakin' amazing. When I listened to it for the first time on the radio thinking that it was a song by Cream, I was like "ohhhhhh my, ohhh my I can't believe it". That may sound a bit exaggerated but it's true.

And the best solo of all time apart from that one imo would be Still Got The Blues, Since I've Been Loving You, Hotel California, Heartbreaker or Voodoo Child (Slight Return).
