For me this might be it, if what you are looking for is emotional
content, musical sense, allusion to the song's lyrics, etc. I'm
speaking of the second solo (the long one ending the song), not the
first solo:

Second place for me might be Tony Peluso's solo on the Carpenters tune
"Goodbye to Love". No kidding!

Best rock guitar solo I've heard live was at the Whiskey in Hollywood
when I was in college in 1977. I never did learn the guy's name; he was
backing up Graham Nash. I should email and find out who that was. I
just remember the solo knocking me out.

Any other nominations?

(sorry to bring this up; as an "elitist" I'm probably not supposed to
discuss such things)
Rock'n'Roll ?

Hmmm.... pretty unimaginative playing, IMO. But, I'm gad that you enjoy!
It inpired me to watch a bunch of Robert Quine.

To old for rock'n'roll Stephen. :-(


Robert Quine isn't rock'n'roll?


I didn't know about him before watching to the vid you have posted. I
must recognize that he is very creative.

I liked your guitarist's sound and
attitude, but others have done more with similar styles.


Chuck Berry ? I agree... ;-)
My point was that, IMHO, most of *rock'n'roll* guitar solo shouldn't
last more than 1 minute or so...
...."with a short imagination" and in 30 seconds and "my" guitarist
(Wilko Johnson) says more about *rock'n'roll* than all those mass media
proclaimed guitar-heroes "à la" Clapton & Co who have been reference for
years.
The worst I've ever heard ?
....Lou Reed "Rock'n'Roll Animal". :-)
