My opinion: 1967: Purple Haze - Jimi Hendrix 1970: Layla - Eric Clapton 1976: Hotel California - Don Felder/Joe Walsh 1980: Crazy Train - Randy Rhoads 1982: Beat It - Eddie Van Halen
Steve Vai, Eric Johnsson, Gary Moore, Peter Frampton, Jason Baker, Dave Murray, Adrian Smith, Steve Morse, Adrian Belew and the list goes on and on.....
Exactly. Love him or hate him, Black Star by Yngwie is a masterpiece. Skipping Vai, Satriani, and a shed load of other players is laughable, too. Kirk over Marty or Chris Poland? 😆 Petrucci, anyone, Pull Me Under? Iconic. Waiting until 1998 to mention Satriani is absolutely criminal. Well, at least they get mentioned, eventually.
Sure, that could be true. It could be argued that numerous players over the years were more naturally skilled. However, look at the level of playing that was already happening by the time Rhoads and Van Halen entered the scene. Consider all the guitar playing and variety of music and sounds and even effects they had to draw from by the mid-late 70s. I’m simply saying that in 1967, Hendrix did not have anywhere near the same amount or level of existing players nor music to influence him. Yet, he came out playing and sounding like no one had ever heard before. Even McCartney and Clapton admitted that they were basically deer in headlights when they first heard Hendrix play. I agree though that the next person in history, after Hendrix, to do the same thing at that level was probably EVH.
Finally someone?? Don’t you mean a huge chunk of the population recognize that he revolutionized guitar playing forever? Isn’t he most often considered the greatest and most influential guitar player ever?

@@Mns291. I have. I can't stand the vocals on that song. The guitar solo is the best part of it, but I prefer "Cliffs of Dover" because it's much more melodically distinctive to me.
Agreed. It's impossible to compile a list that everyone will agree upon. But at least a list like this, that had some thought behind it, gets people thinking about playing guitar and the music industry in general. And THAT is the best that anyone could hope for.
Don Felder is criminally underrated. One of the most melodic players ever. Agree with Hotel California comments. Eric Johnson deserves some love. Good list though. I’d also put Clapton Crossroads in 1968. I still think that solo is the gold standard for blues rock. The all time greats - Page ,Clapton, Beck, VH, Blackmore, Gilmour etc can fill a top 100 easily because their solos are so memorable.
To Leave Out Master Clapton in the 60's is a Real Slap in the Face! And None Should Have Been Given More than One Slot! I Have Been Studying Guitar and Its History for Over 50 Years , So I am an Expert!
I love the fact that Jimi made Clapton and Townsend shit their pants after hearing Jimi. Clapton ripped off black blues players which is ironic coming from the “Keep Britain white” Clapton who is at best, boring and predictable.

@@CalebthegiganticMariofan well it should because in my opinion it's better than stairway. Of course stairway is more popular. Not knocking that solo either. But maggot brain is cosmic bliss
1973 should definitely be "Time" by Pink Floyd (David Gilmour), imho. I would also give 1969 to Robert Fripp of King Crimson for "21st Century Schizoid Man", although George Harrison for "Something" is still a great choice. Nice list- thanks for posting!
1970- Since I've Been Loving You - Jimmy Page. Perhaps the greatest guitar solo in rock history and that's saying something. So good that it draws outside the lines of just another blues solo into a new category of its own.
Genuinely surprised there was nothing from AC/DC, Clapton, ZZ Top, Black Sabbath, Aerosmith, KISS, Santana, Slayer, Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Green Day or any Metallica past the 80s, definitely a lot of really good stuff could’ve been added here
My opinion, some changes: 1967 - Purple Haze (by Jimi Hendrix) 1977 - Hotel California (by The Eagles) 1980 - Crazy Train (by Randy) 1982 - Beat It (by Eddie) 1984 - Purple Rain (by Prince) 1996 - Don't Look Back in Anger (by Noel Gallanger) 2020 - Selfless (by the Strokes) But still solid list though, always like your video.
I like how once the 2000s started, the guitar solos were no longer derived from popular songs but just obscure metal bands. Guitar solos just don’t exist anymore…
They do, there’s just an overwhelming amount of music now. OP probably just mostly listens to metal music post-2000s and that’s why we get this result when there are so many other styles. Lately we’ve seen a lot of jazz-rock artists (Geordie Greep, Maruja, King Gizzard to name a few) and really excellent solos to come out of that. Also lamenting the lack of Frank Zappa on this list.
Let It Be was recorded January '69, Abbey Road was recorded later that summer and released that September. Let It Be was released in 1970 to coincide with the film.
There are two solos from Craig Ross of Lenny Kravitz band that were killer in the 90s. 1) Solo from Believe (Pagesque but beautiful) and 2) Are you Gonna go my way. IMO those were 2 of the best of the decade
As I always say, there is no solo that comes close to Blackmore’s Stargazer solo among solos from 1976. And as for 1974, I think that his Burn solo is also quite an obvious choice.
I just wrote the same thing before i read this. Those are the two that jumped out at me. You could also throw in any of a number of Blackmore solos in 1973 from the Made in Japan album. Blackmore dominated the 70s pre-Eddie Van Halen.
John Friuscante's solo on "Tetragrammaton" by The Mars Volta is his best solo of 2006. Way more interesting than what he was doing on "Dani California"
1969: Be Careful With A Fool - Johnny Winter 1970: Machine Gun - Jimi Hendrix 1971: Stairway To Heaven - Led Zeppelin 1972: Highway Star - Deep Purple 1973: Free Bird - Lynyrd Skynyrd 1974: Rock Bottom - UFO 1975: Green Grass & High Tides - The Outlaws 1976: Hotel California - Eagles

To me All Along the Watchtower is the greatest cover song ever made. But in my opinion the best solo from ‘68 was Clapton on Crossroads. And agree with all those who say Hotel California should be there
@@ColdApe02 yeah, I just read David Cross's bio of Hendrix. Dylan comes up to him on the street in Greenwich Village and tells him how much he loved his version which made Jimi's day as Dylan was one of his heroes.
Saw Hendrick twice. Lead Zep once. Knew Stevie. See a dozen or more playing with their case open for money on a given weekend night in Austin, Tx as good as most of the rest.
My opinion:
1967: Purple Haze - Jimi Hendrix
1970: Layla - Eric Clapton
1976: Hotel California - Don Felder/Joe Walsh
1980: Crazy Train - Randy Rhoads
1982: Beat It - Eddie Van Halen
Clapton didn’t do the best solo in Layla, Duane Allman did with his slide.
Was thinking about Layla as well for moment
After the piano starts in Layla, the song goes down hill for me..
Does purple haze even have a guitar solo?
Crossroads in 68 instead of Hendrix
Impossible thing to attempt. Maybe describing this list as " SOME good guitar solos " !!
Completely agree. Might be better to do the 10 best for any given year, and still might leave a few out.
And get less views and comments? No

1970 - Jimi Hendrix: Machine gun
its much much more than a guitar solo
Yes. It’s beyond this list in so many ways
nailed it 👍
Oh. Yes. Specifically at the seven minute mark.
Mad respect for including limelight. I don’t know if I would count eruption as a guitar solo and in its place would have put sultans of swing
What is eruption if not a solo??
Piano ballad
I would also say mad respect for death and pantera,
Love that my man Alex Lifeson was on this list twice. Always been underrated.
it is the wrong answer it is not on the same level of a Flying High again
Buddy guy still kickin in 2022 mans a legend
Jimi Hendrix got inspiration from him and so many others. Buddy Guy is the guy.
Amen to that !!
glad to see the freebird solo get recognition! love people supporting small unknown songs such as that
The category is
"Best Solo for Each Year".
Not "Solo With Most Overuse of One Note for Each Year".
Amazing how so many of those Solo's sound exactly the same.
Too much shredding, not enough feel.
The same thing stuck out to me. So few truly unique and original players on this list.
Ear rape
Too many fiddly diddly.
Amazing how you think that
Respect for including Dogs, Comfortably Numb and High Hopes
Well, but it's Gilmour, it's obvious he had to be here, hehe.
I might have gone with the end solo on Pigs (Three Different Ones) over Dogs but really can't go wrong with either
High hopes didn't really use a guitar it looks like one but it's not considered a guitar
Comfortably numb is the best guitar solo
These lists are so subjective.
So many amazing solos leftout 😢
Appreciate the effort it took to compile all the clips.

Agreed. It's impossible to compile a list that everyone will agree upon. But at least a list like this, that had some thought behind it, gets people thinking about playing guitar and the music industry in general. And THAT is the best that anyone could hope for.
I agree with @Barbarrabay : these solos sound all the same and according to me they're not well played, not doing justice to the players.
It morphed into an ear splitting shredfest.
@@BarbarraBaywhere?
I really was NOT expecting to see Death make the list. Im really glad they did though, Trapped in a Corner is one of the best death metal songs
I know some of you probably don’t think too highly of it, but I think the guitar solo from Prince’s Purple Rain deserves a mention for 1984.
Actually never thought Telegraph road nor Brothers in arms would reach this list. All though, I totally agree. Amazing solos!
Ritchie Blackmore was way ahead of his time
He still is. I would like to see "Stargazer" on this list, too.
