I have all of his solo material. While I don't TOTALLY agree with this statement (His self titled is pretty good) I gotta say that out of both his solo albums I only REALLY like one song off of each. Meaning I wanted to listen to it over and over.
His best stuff is definitley with Floyd. He's the G.O.A.T. And he's releasing a new Solo album with 3 instrumental tracks
Plus doing a 10 date tour in the US! I'd quit my job and blow all the money I'm saving up for a place to catch that show. That is, if he comes to Texas and it's anywhere remotely close to where I live.
Anyone mention Steve Howe of Yes yet? Listen to the begining of Close To The Edge. Maybe not the best solo but certainly the most original and innovative.
I think often times simplicity is overlooked too. Like Justin Haywards guitar solo's on The Moody Blues song Blue Guitar. Nothing too remarkably difficult but great solo's none the less.
Also John Popper's solo album? One song comes to mind "Fledgling" The song really drags on but he finishes it off with one of the best solo's I've ever heard from anyone. You should check it out.
Asta!!
