Post your favorites, preferably with a link. Comment why you like it so much. ONE AT A TIME PLEASE!!!!
I'll start with Budgie - Wildfire. John Thomas takes this heads down boogie blues and elevates it into the stratosphere with a tornado of red hot licks. High energy thrill ride.

Iron Maiden - Somewhere Back In Time
It's fucking awesome, one of the best from the seventh/somewhere era.

You know, I could *easily* repost Hizaki's "Race Wish," but no.
What do you get when you combine neo-classical virtuosoism with Bosnian Folk? Somewhere between incredible pace and melody and a tone that you feel like you should be doing the Kalinka to (that russian dance where your crouched and shove your legs out in front of you). Complete with accordian and piano breaking up the traditional scales he frantically paces, its unusual in style and tone and yet completely addictive. (the actual solo begins around 2:40 and ends around 8:10, but to be fair the whole song is great).
