Not necessarily of all time, just out of these three songs which is the best?

Edit: **Sigh** I told it to give me a poll... it was between "Freebird" "Comfortably Numb" and "Stairway to Heaven" anyway...

Comfortably Numb for me Stairway's is overrated and Free Bird's solo sounds great, but I like Comfortably Numb's more

Ah, the three amigos of guuitar solos, eh? Very close for me... hmm. Was gonna say stairway but now I think about CN it's swaying.... um.... Oh hell, Stairway for me. Just bridges the song so well. It's almost a verse unto itself.

There are other Led Zeppelin songs that have better solos than Stairway. But from this list, I pick Comfortably Numb.

Comfortably Numb all the way. Although I'd say a little Sweet Child O' Mine would be a good 4th choice. But even so, Comfortably Numb it is.

Augh! All these songs are too long for me! I usually listen to songs that are 5:00 minutes or under!

My Answer:
Stairway to Heaven

Stairway, Freebirds good and I don't particularly like CN at all.

I always use correct grammar and spelling, too (aside from incorrect grammar and misspelling).

Comfortably Numb. Freebird's is cool, though. Stairway's defines mediocre.

Comfortably Numb out of those. My favourite is probably High Hopes, Burn, or Rock Bottom though.

Paul Gilbert - Technical Difficulties easily destroys all 3.

Out of the three, I give it to Freebird. I rabidly love Zep, but it's hard to deny the awesomeness of Freebird.

Free Bird's solo is so jammy, but in over all bone-chilling-ness, Comfortably Numb takes the cake. Stairway's is just memorable, not really....good.

... I think most people don't realize how difficult it is to make a memorable guitar solo... it's easy to make a catchy chorus, a guitar solo is a different story.

I think Eruption is the greatest.

Comfortably Numb Is in my opinion by far the best. Both Solo's Are great, and involve a lot of talent.

Stairway To Heaven has an amazing build up to the solo, but the solo isn't really that amazing.

Freebird's solo seems to go on a bit to long for my liking, although it is a good solo.

Out of those 3... Free Bird, with Stairway close behind.
