Coheed & Cambria - Welcome Home .. best riff of our generation in my opinion
 
Lot's of great songs posted here actually. I'm surprised this section of the forum is as active as it appears to be.
 
What we have sown by Pineapple thief - 30 minutes of pure prog with a eye squelching solo.
 
Oh yeah... I forgot Du Hast by Rammstein... they're a closer second for "best riff of our generation" in my opinion.
 
Even though theres two guitar players playing it i still think it counts as a solo

Free Bird - Lynryd Skynyrd

Long train running - Doobie Brothers

Best guitar solo:
Hotel California - Eagles
