Any solo that can survive a temporary key change and come up swinging wins in my book.

Always loved this one, it was one of the first solos I'd ever learned.
Also, I think Patrick would slit my throat if I weren't to mention Nels Cline ripping for ages on "Impossible Germany". Extra bonus of some really nice guitar harmonizing under the solo.

And I'd slit Pat's throat for acting like he discovered that when he wouldn't know shit about Wilco if it wasn't for me :-P
I've loved that solo since the 2006 bootlegs, goddammit!!!

I wonder what Tom Morello sounds like when he isn't feeling creative.

i'd agree with the whole "every solo on rust in peace" thing, but in terms of modern metal guitar solos, you can't go wrong with the last darkest hour album "deliver us." kris norris (who's sadly left the band since) does some of the most amazingly melodic, yet technical solos ever. the sort you can actually sing along to, and he's restrained enough to keep the ridiculously fast shredding to points where it'll really stand out. in reality, all his solos are incredibly technical, but it speaks volumes of his skill as a composer that you notice the quality of the melodies (and harmonies, man i LOVE me some harmonies!) before you realise that the shredding involved is hard as fuck.
also, mike amott's work on carcass' "heartwork" is pretty amazing. a lot of his solos are actually very simple, but so effective.
some others:
strung out - "too close to see" (simple but fast tapped melody, very effective) and "downtown" (very short solo, but still great).
racer x - "technical difficulties" (the whole song is a giant guitar-wank, but one of the few of the genre where it's catchy and gripping throughout)
opeth - "the moor" (just, fucking badass)
a wilhelm scream - "we built this city! (on debts and booze!)" (just fits the build-up and the intense mood of the song perfectly)
