Wow, that's pretty much a "none of the above" list for me, save for perhaps Brian May and Queen at #10. Without thinking about it too hard, and limiting the list to one entry per guitarist...

1) Steve Vai: "For the Love of God"
2) Joe Satriani: "Flying in a Blue Dream"
3) Yngwie Malmsteen: "Black Star"
4) Eric Johnson: "Cliffs of Dover"
5) John Petrucci (Dream Theater): "Under a Glass Moon"
5) Steve Howe (Yes): "The Gates of Delirium"
6) Steve Morse: "Quantum Soup"
7) Alex Lifeson (Rush): "La Villa Strangiato"
8) Roine Stolt (Transatlantic): "All of the Above"
9) Vinnie Moore: "Fear and Trepidation"
10) Ed Wynne (Ozric Tentacles): "Pixel Dream"

Joe Satriani: "Flying in a Blue Dream"

The problem with Satriani is that 95% of his work is "the world's greatest guitar solo". The man's guitar skills ain't natural, I tells ya. Must be the devil's work.

EXCELLENT choices........but my favorite Vinny Moore number HAS to be "Meltdown".

It will do just that to your speakers, too........
