Dinosaur Jr - Start choppin
Neil Young - Cortez the killer
A Broken Horse- The Rain Parade
I Need Direction- Teenage Fanclub
I said maybe.....
3 Days by Jane's Addiction - just epic
Time by The Floyd - so smooth
Led Zeppelin - Stairway To Heaven
Oasis - Don't Look Back in Anger
Ok there's 5 but they all played a part in me wanting to play guitar.
Ringleader of the Cambridge cartel, pedal champ and king of the dirt boxes (down to 21)
All Right Now - Free. Probably the first solo I ever managed to play to any level of competency
Status Quo - Roadhouse Blues (from The End Of The Road '84). Not particularly highbrow, but I had this on a VHS video and the "Jig" section of the solo particularly appealed to the 10 year old me!

Honorary mention for Johnny Kidd & The Pirate's Shakin' All Over as well. One of the finest guitar breaks from the early rock 'n' roll era. My dad introduced me to this one, still sounds great nearly 60 years later
Van Halen - Ice Cream Man
Nuno - Get the Funk Out
Satriani - Friends
......probably, with another 100 or so waiting in the wings to take the top 3 spots!
My music:- https://soundcloud.com/hubobulous
Solos wise in no particular order
Outro on Nightrain (GnR)
Yellow ledbetter (Pearl Jam)
Red Mosquito (Pearl Jam)
2. Built To Spill - Carry The Zero (various live versions of it)
3. The Beatles - And Your Bird Can Sing
L.A. Woman
Another Brick in the Wall Pt 2
Free Bird
Black Magic Woman
and I also concur with Go Your Own Way
* Not to be confused with Al Anderson from NRBQ.
also Steuart Smith on Strat, opened everybody's eyes there was more to country guitar than Albert Lee and Chet Atkins!
and Dave Edmunds with a chuck berry solo played right!
Adrian Smith - Stranger In a Strange Land
Gary Moore - Out in the Fields
Though I'm more someone inspired by riffs than solos.
