My dad always told me that Hotel California was one of those songs that you should never listen to halfway. If there’s ever an interruption, you should start it over and listen from the beginning. It’s that good of a song. These days I get a bit misty eyed when I listen to it, but still I listen. Miss you dad.

[@Tyler-hs9eu]

I was hoping this would be Comfortably Numb, but this is also top tier guitar solos of all time

[@duderyandude9515]

Two different people in a row thought it would be Comfortably Numb. I was thinking of Bohemian Rhapsody but in fairness that’s more iconic than “the best” and I say that even though Queen are my favourite band.

[@kipknee]

I was also thinking Comfortably Numb when I read the title. Hotel Calif isn't bad, but I can think of several others that would kick it from the top spot.

[@edpearl5332]

Hot take: Comfortably numb solo is one of the most boring solos and it sounds like an improvisation and i literally can't remember the solo. I bet any decent modern guitarist could improvise something just as good in 3 takes.

[@Tyler-hs9eu]

@@edpearl5332 well i dont think you know just how well you used hot take as in your reply being deliberately provocative, providing a reply without any real substance or evidence to prove your point. Im no expert in music or anything but it certainly is top tier in how he articulated it and how he used the tone of the song with how he went from a major scale in solo 1 to minor scale in solo 2. Its no yngwie malmsteen, or jimi hendrix or whoever you think did the "best solo of all time" but it doesnt matter because music is personal and usually something you highlight that is the "greatest" is something that can transcend genres, usually attention to harmony and melody with blending styles is what does this best. He was a product of his time for sure and things have "advanced" but to quote the dude "thats just like your opinion man"

[@edpearl5332]

@@Tyler-hs9eu boring song, no catchy melody, no beauty, some depressive/drug state, no talent in vocals. Yeah major to minor scale, you’re just proving my point that it sounds like an improvisation. Yeah he has some good pull offs, like triplet sort of feel, whatever. Nowdays there are people who do that with one hand behind their head. If you tell me that this solo is more recognizable or melodic than hotel california im sorry but you’re musically delusional. Go ask any kid who has to perform 1-2 mind infront of his school and give him a choice this song or hotel california 99% of the teachers would go for california. I dare to ask u too, which one would u prefer ur child play if he had 2-3 mins to perform? Im sorry I just don’t get why people like this song. Another hot take: Its idolised by lsd abusers to the point that its tradition and you literally have to fool yourself into liking it.

Can’t argue with this. What makes this solo so exceptional is that the lyrics are so epic, this solo gives us time to process this journey and prepare for the next stage of the song. Which is the idea for most solos. This is quintessential.

Reeling in the years is Jimmy Page favorite solo!

[@jrpipik]

@@iamza. Which reminds me of another great solo: Martin Barre on "Aqualung." When he recorded it, Page was in the control room waving his arms, which Ian Anderson interpreted as cheering Martin on and Martin interpreted as trying to distract him. Martin said, "It was really annoying, because in those days if you didn't get it right on the first or second take, it might become a flute solo."

[@jrpipik]

Worth mentioning that the solo in "Reelin' in the Years" was by Elliott Randall.
