Led Zepplin tops guitar solo poll

(Filed: 26/03/2006)

Top 10 guitar solos

Led Zeppelin's Stairway to Heaven the been voted the best guitar solo of all time.

The anthem beat the likes of Guns N' Roses' Paradise City and Jimi Hendrix's Voodoo Child to best air guitar moment.

Despite never being released as a single, the 1971 song remains one of the most-played rock songs ever, and has been covered by everyone by artists from Dolly Parton to Rolf Harris.

Other tracks in the top 10 include The Eagles' Hotel California, Cream's Crossroads, Ozzy Osbourne's Crazy Train and Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody.

Almost 2,000 readers of Total Guitar magazine, including music teachers and professional guitarists, voted in the poll.

The magazine's editor Stephen Lawson said: "I'm not surprised that Stairway to Heaven is number one - not only is Jimmy Page's solo incredibly ballsy and a little bit flash, but it is also brilliantly structured."

Stupid poll. A few weeks back Slash was voted #1 for SCOM. Whoever put Paradise City on the list is an idiot.

I think that kind of lists sucks... today they say one thing, but tomorrow will say another different one...

BTW, from my point of view the solos in You could be mine, Don't Cry or November Rain are better that the Paradise one.

Hmm, I always thought the "solo" in Paradise City was a wee-bit.....unorganized?

I always liked the first solo in Estranged a lot.

For the record, the solo in The Eagles "Hotel California" would be my number one, though two guys (Joe Walsh and Don Felder) are involved with it.
