4 come to mind right away for me (no order):
Jungleland - Clarence Clemons - Saxophone
Comfortably Numb - David Gilmour - Guitar
Roundabout - Rick Wakeman - Keyboard
Absolutely Sweet Marie - Bob Dylan - Harmonica
I Won't Hold You Back-Toto (Lukather/Paich/Porcaro). Best song they ever created.
The radio only plays Africa, also off of Toto IV (1982). That is their best album.
Lots of descending bass lines and slash chords. Eltonesque, but more rock-driven than piano-driven. There are numerous guitar/piano solos in this song and a key change.
Rick Beato is amazing. Link does not thumbnail; it's about his breakdown of Toto's best song.

In all due respect, we can't go very far without mentioning the late, great Jimi Hendrix.
Pick your favorite, but there's no shortage as he instilled even the simplest melody lines with captivating riffs - Killing Floor, Wild Thing, Hey Joe, and though not my favorite, his historic rendition of the Star Spangled Banner. or Purple Haze.
And it would be hard to call most of these solos. His guitar virtuosity is so pervasive and prolific, it intertwines in most every song to create a sense that the freeform riffing and experimentation is more the norm, which he is constantly having to reel back in service to the song's recognizable melody.
Jimi Hendrix!
Joe Satriani has said the greatest guitar solo in rock is Hendrix's "Machine Gun", Live at the Fillmore. A sonic landscape of the Vietnam War. Astonishing power.
The greatest harmonica solo is Little Walter's "Juke", in which he wrote the book for Chicago blues harp (Ry Cooder says Little Walter is the greatest soloist in the blues), Paul Butterfield's "Everything's Gonna Be Alright" Live at the Troubador, while Stevie Wonder's "Alfie" is up there (along with anything by the late great Toots Thielemans).
Saxophone is Coleman Hawkins' "Body and Soul"- a true classic - and Charlie Parker's "Koko", when modern saxophone was invented.
Little Walter's Juke was in the forgotten 1991 gangster film, A Rage in Harlem.
