That majestic serenade even inspired Anthrax to go hair metal for one song only:

 
Maybe a bit mainstream but for me it would have to be sweet child of mine. Slash has to be one of my all time favorites and while November rain was epic, Sweet child was just super awesome to me and the most memorable.

A close runner up would have to be Youth Gone Wild. That (those) solos are bad ass. Dive bombs in and out, shreds in between with high energy and a perfect trade off, that one is killer.

Lukather in Rosanna's what sprung to mind immediately. There are so many great solos from that decade 'though.

3:14 & 4:48

Honestly those are great. I was never into the band but man if that isnt some of the more technically proficient playing.

Not just technically-proficient but emotionally-evocative.

Lukather really gets that feeling of oomph / Hell yeah / positive energy / enthusiasm / inspiration across in the outro I reckon. A real mood-lifter.
 
This is another contender. at 430

Jon Drenning out EVH's EVH on this solo, with 10 times more emotion and feel.

 
Look man, if we are gonna get into that....

I'm going to pretend the question is 'best solo from an otherwise cheesy late 80's rock ballad' - otherwise this thread is making me rethink the entire universe as I understand it.

The answer, obviously, is I Remember You by the Skids.
