Best Guitar solo:

Alvin Lee and Ten Years After Live "Hey Little School Girl"

Best Drum Solo (NO NOT IRON BUTTERFLY);

"Soul Sacrifice" Santana Live at Woodstock

Led Zepplin "Stairway to heaven." - Guitar
Blondie "Dreaming" - Drums

Since there is more than one Joe great Zeppllin choice also Guitar "Locomotion Breath" Jethro Tull. You haven't lived until you hear that guitar solo done with 10,000 Kazoos (If he hasn't brrn in your area nad you are a fan Rubbing Elbows with Ian is an awesome concert) Now I will have to check out Blondie's Dreaming

The summer song by Joe Satriani. (not a true solo but man can he play the guitar!)
Best drum solo I have to agree with Joe "Blondie Dreaming"

Surfing with the Allien is one of my all time favorites, don't forget Eric Johnsons "Cliffs of Dover" and anything by Stanley Jordon

Just listend to dreamming, another good solo. A drum solo that I don't think made the record "I am Sparticus" from the movie "That Thing You Do"

I forgot about Eric Johnsons he does some great guitar work too.

Another cat: Songs with the best bass line?

My choice, Suzanne Vega - Tom's Diner.

When I was younger I went and saw a concert in NY which had Eric Clapton as the headliner and Santana as the guest band. This was in the mid to late 70's. At the end of the concert Clapton was set to play Layla. Out comes Carlos Santana and John McLaughlin (arguably the 3 best guitarists of the era) and the three of them just wailed through the song. Never made it onto a record but was an absolutely amazing moment.

I love Eric Clapton's guitar work...

I like the guitar solo in Pennywise's Bro Hymn Tribute.

Song with the best base line has to be Lou Reed's 'Walk on the Wild Side'. I saw Herbie Flowers a few years back and he was as entertaining talking about his work (the base line on Mancini's Pink Panther theme was him, and he also formed Sky with John williams et al.) as when he was playing.

Hmmm Peter Gun is a good one but the one I can't get out of my head is Herbie Hancocks Camileon though uts Stanley Jordens version I am hearing right know

Best guitar lead? the bridge in Comfortably Numb.
speaking of Bridge, Bridge of Sighs by Robin Trower
is no slouch.
Best Sax in a rock song? Can't you hear me knocking
The Stones.
Best Drums? SWALBR (?) Cream? Al Di Meola the drum intro before Mediteranian Sundance.
I haven't heard ten years after in ages. . . gonna have
to dig those out.

Hendrix's solo on All Along The Watchtower would be my choice. It's from another dimension.

ELP at a live concert during the 1970s. The stage was revolving around during the extended drum solo.
