The solo halfway Opeth's In the Mist She Was Standing gives me goose bumps.

Right now I don't even care if he gave birth to cheese or whatever.

Yes, thats right up there with the best. I still prefer this one (3:18 - 4:30):

Must admit to not having heard Marching Out yet; I am the guy who hears an album, likes it, and then sticks to it in fear of listening to others. Or maybe I'm just procrastinating. Anyway, that was great.

I do the same thing. I get "Stuck" on something and nothing else sounds good.

I guess it's one of the reasons my taste isn't very diverse, I rarely take time to listen to something new.

I can identify with that too.

Machine gun by Hendrix is the top for me for pure emotion and brilliance.

Others off the top of my head:
Over the mountain - Randy Rhoads
Kid Charlemagne - Larry Carlton
Comfortably Numb - David Gilmour
Ten Years Gone - Jimmy Page
Texas Flood - SRV
Cliffs of Dover - Eric Johnson

^ Yes, I find that sometimes; the first album I hear from an artist is often the one that impresses me the most, and the next one feels like a runner-up - though come to think of it, the reverse happens plenty of times too...

I wonder if you´ll make an effort with any of these, Briks!

This has a short, sharp and sweet guitar solo in it; get yourself ready at two mins in , or you´ll miss it! :-

The Allman´s have so many great guitar solos; I´m choosing this instrumental because, by their standards, it´s pretty concise but clearly demonstrates what they are capable of:-

With this song, it´s not so much the solo that catches my attention as the cool dialogue that´s goes on between the guitar and the vocals, right from the opening bars.
"Show biz kids making movies of themselves.
You know they don´t give a f**k about anybody else!"
