Emotionally evocative guitar solos

One of my favorites is "Still Got The Blues" by Gary Moore. Superb.

Depends on how you define "solo" in the context of a song, off the top of my head:

Led Zeppelin- Since I've Been Loving You.
Led Zeppelin= I'm Gonna Crawl
Led Zeppelin- Achilles Last Stand.
Jimi Hendrix- Voodoo Child (slight return).
Jimi Hendrix- Little Wing
Prince- Purple Rain
GnR- Sweet Child of Mine
AC/DC- Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap
Funkadelic- Maggot Brain
Beatles- While My Guitar Gently Weeps
Carlos Santana- Black Magic Woman

Since I've Been Loving You is a simply incredible blues tune. It blew me away when I bought the album when it came out and all these years later, I still love it. A song I have a very difficult time playing on my guitar. I've never even come close to mastering it.
Voodoo Child is superb.
Purple Rain is as well.
I will run as fast as I can from Sweet Child of Mine. No offense but I hate that group and really, really hate that song.

I still think Gilmour's solo in Comfortably Numb is the best ever.
Well, technically he has two solos. I prefer the first one.

Is aggressiveness an emotion ?
