14. Gilmour is the shit.
Dogs (Couple of epic solos in that one song. I like the first one, the first half of which begins at right around 1:50. Some real quick pickin' going on there. Only about 35 seconds, but a really nice feel. The second solo, around 5:32, is just plain beautiful. And I've never been able to recreate that thing he does at 6:20. Totally sick. Then at around 13:27, there's another 35 seconds of solo that's basically part two of first solo. Way to tie it up, Dave.)

Shine On You Crazy Diamond Parts I-V (Again, a couple of monster solos. He makes that thing cry like a baby. For most of the song, the guitar IS the singer.)

Another Brick In The Wall Part II (Tiny in comparison with the previous two, but everything's in there: sweep picking, quick picking double-stop comps, articulated bends, double bends, and more.)

A couple of quick notes: First, once I learned to "listen fast", I found Yngwie's playing had a lot more soul than people give him credit for. And second, the greatest recorded rock song I've ever heard is Rock Bottom (Live) off of Strangers In The Night.
