Perhaps a bit obvious but I have to go with Ray's "Light My Fire" section. Everyone's heard it hundreds of times but that does'nt dilute how great it is.

My fav drum solo. It sounds a bit tinny here. Best to hear it on vinyl!

One of my all time favs! I used to play this on piano, myself - God it took a looooong time to learn that with no sheet music, just going by ear. LOL. I added the guitar part as well. The only part of the song I didn't play was the intro for some odd reason.

A tour de force from Mr Bruce...
The groundbreaking "AS YOU SAID" (Jack Bruce/Pete Brown)...
Jack Bruce--vocals, acoustic guitar, cello, Ginger Baker on high-hat.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?NR=1&v=aMnZ9lStWgA
This one always stood out for me on Wheels Of Fire....of course when I saw CREAM live in 1968, they didn't perform it....Jack is not THAT much of a magician!!

Maybe not the GREATEST solo ever, as the titles suggests, but this is a nice cover of Dhani's father's classic....While My Guitar Gently Weeps.
At R&R Hall Of Fame. Dhani looks so like his pop in the early daze!.
