Personally, I listen to music just for the solos. AC DC, Rush, Cream and The Jimi Hendrix Experience have always been some of my favourites. Anything from a drum solo by Neil Peart, Guitar by Angus Young or Bass by John Entwhistle. To me, you're not a good "band" or guitarist/drummer/bassist until you have a decent solo.
From one of my more recent concerts, I saw Def Leppard. Lets just say that for a guy with one arm.... that dude rocked. When I went to my Alice Cooper concert, the drummer had a 15 minute solo which was nothing short of amazing. I love them all and they will never die. Though rock (imo) has lessened in quality lately, one day the great solo will rise again!
