THE BEST guitar solo in a classic rock song.
Without a doubt is Freebird. it's a 5 minutes long, and is so ****ing good. So what do you think is the best classic rock solo?

Also, Eruption by Van Halen is sweet, I just think it's a tad bit too short.

Brian May...Brighton Rock...
Especially the like 40+minute versions he did live. Generally, I don't go for super-long solos, it's just that there's a lot of awesome shit in the live versions that didn't see through on the record. |

I like the solo in Bohemian Rhapsody. First one that came to mind. Nothing revolutionary I guess.

Maybe opinions will have changed or newbs like me have an opinion on this.
I love Eruption, but my favourite guitar solo is from Hotel California. Nothing spectacular, but it just fits so well with the song, much like the guitar solo on Freebird. |

Hotel California.
While the "solo" part of Layla isn't very long, the guitar work throughout is so phenomenal it gets an honorable mention from me. |

I wouldn't go that far, Miz, but Eruption is definitely not one of classic rock's best solos.
