Best Guitar Solo of All Time?

What? James Burton on "Hello, Mary Lou" doesn't even place?

Guardian Unlimited Arts | Arts news | Pink Floyd guitar solo sits comfortably in first place: "Pink Floyd's 'Comfortably Numb' has the best guitar solo of all time, according to a new poll. It was chosen ahead of the opening riff from 'Sweet Child O' Mine' by Guns N' Roses. Third was 'Freebird' by Lynyrd Skynyrd, while 'Eruption' by Van Halen was fourth and Guns N' Roses' 'November Rain' fifth. Led Zeppelin classic 'Stairway to Heaven' was in sixth place.

The radio station Planet Rock asked listeners to come up with a top 40. The rest of the top 10 featured 'Sultans of Swing' by Dire Straits, 'Aqualung' by Jethro Tull, 'Hotel California' by the Eagles and Child In Time by Deep Purple."
