I still say that Yo La Tengo- "Pablo and Andrea" gives me chills every time I hear it.

Not only is the song beautiful, but the way the solo just sort of emerges, organically from the main riff of the song, is haunting. It does everything that a great guitar solo SHOULD do -- brings the song someplace else; someplace higher.

And I really need to find a stream of this song so y'all can hear it.

It's not a shredding solo. Ira Kaplan is not Eddie Van Halen, Randy Rhodes, or Stevie Ray Vaughn. But the guy has an amazing musicality and incredible instincts. I love this band.
