One of my favorite solos of all rock music is Gilmour on (Pink Floyd's) "Comfortably Numb". It must also be one of the slowest solos of all rock music. And no shredding wanker out there could ever pull it off. I've tried a few times myself, and it's one of those cases where you could know every note - and play every note exactly in time - and still not manage to get anywhere near the statement Gilmour makes. His remarkable emotional feel is exactly right for the song.
Another of my favorites is Glenn Tilbrook, Squeeze's "Another Nail for my Heart". Now there's a speedy romp solo that flies all over the place, but that's exactly what the song is too so it fits perfectly.
