Guitar:For my personal favorite I'd have to go with "Tornado of Souls" By Megadeth. There's alsi "Alive" by Pearl Jam an- I'm going to go on a tangent soon at the rate I'm at. Too. Fucking. Difficult to just choose one.
Other instruments/vocal.
Feel free to list more. Also feel free to split em up into genre's or mood or whatever poop like that.
Oh yeah and feel free to discuss other solo's other than Guitar.
Define solo. Are we talking vocal solo, instrumental solo, solo album, solo artist...?

Guitar/Instrumental solo
But I'll use this thread for any solo in the instrument category.
Heartbreaker & Livin Lovin Mad - Led Zeppelin
All of my Love - Led Zeppelin (is that an organ? whatever it is, it sounds beast)
Paid In Full - Sonata Arctica keytar solo
Off the top of my head...
Give Into Me - Michael Jackson (Slash)
D.S. - Michael Jackson (Slash)
Here are just a couple of guitar solos that come to mind (not in any order):
- "Dancing Through Sunday" - AFI (so psyched that it's on GH6) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dm1xc_d_FVA&feature=channel (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dm1xc_d_FVA&feature=channel)
- "Nocturnal" - The Black Dahlia Murder http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CfBauFhIKRY (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CfBauFhIKRY)

- "The Air that I Breathe" - All That Remains
- "Torch Song" - AFI
- "Lazy Eye" - Silversun Pickups
- "She Wolf" - Megadeth [live version] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=USiBoja76yo (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=USiBoja76yo)
- "Hitch a Ride" - Boston

- "Voodoo Child (Slight Return)" - Jimi Hendrix
- "Testify" - Stevie Ray Vaughn and Double Trouble
- "Tell Me" - Stevie Ray Vaughn and Double Trouble
- "End of the Line" - Metallica

Hopefully all of the links will work. I'll probably link a couple more later, but you can look them up yourself I guess.
Anyway, those are just some. I don't have the time right now to list other instrument/vocal solos. Maybe I'll do it later.
Rage Against The Machine, Pantera, Candlemass, and Metallica have some of my most favorite solos of all time.
