The guitar solo thread a while back got me thinking. What are some songs that just really wouldn't work without that guitar work in them.

To me, the top one is obvious. The guitar work throughout the song is brilliant.

I'm listening to Rush right now, Working Man, so I'll go with that.

The first song that popped into my head was The Spirit of Radio by Rush.

The Boys Are Back in Town- Thin Lizzy

It was a lot of fun learning this on guitar but man it's got some chords after the intro 3 chords. Lots of great guitar parts throughout the entire song.

I kinda disagree. This is a country song. Gilmour said so. It works without the guitar. If I'm going Floyd, I'd say Comfortably Shine on you crazy diamond.

When I heard that for the first time it was like the bar for the ultimate guitar solo had raised again, and by a huge margin. Elliot Randall that guitar work on that for Steely Dan
