I'm a huge Nirvana fan, but Smells Like Teen Spirit? He just follows the vocal melody from the verse. Rolling Stone continues its practice of stuffing its preferred bands into any rubric it can dream up. Comfortably Numb is the best one I can think of. Both solos in that song are incredible, and way better than the Stairway solo.

The fact that Fleetwood Mac's The Chain isn't on this list is insane to me.

Would be nearly impossible. For example, let's say Metallica is on this list multiple times. They have hundreds of songs, 99% of which have solos, most of them kick ass. How could we possibly guess in time? Thats just one of the 100 entries. The greater crime is the lack of Megadeth and Avenged Sevenfold on this list lmao
