There's no question that this is not the most technically impressive or face-melting guitar solo, but an entry into "guitar solos that get me every time I hear them" category: the short solo at the end of the three-and-a-half minute instrumental section in Weezer's Only In Dreams. For my money, it is one of the greatest rock songs of all time (many definitions of rock). Even though I'm expecting it, that short solo right before the song ends just blows me away.

Too bad Weezer hasn't released a good record in over a decade, now.
