I think soloists are given a huge bump if they're surrounded by great songwriting as well as the other members in the band who add something great/unique.
I can't think of any. I'd imagine saving the best solo for the best songs.
Perry Mason - Ozzy Osbourne

The song really isn't bad, but the lyrics and subject matter -- a TV show lawyer lol -- are kind of goofy.
The guitar solo is absolutely killer. The main guitar riff and bass lines are great too.
EDIT: Zakk Wylde played guitar on the album.
That is kind of goofy now that I think of it.

Such a dumb song, but I've always loved the guitar solo and the hybrid fingerpicking during the verse riffs.
A lot of people hate Fred Durst and Limp Bizkit but their Guitarist Wes Borland has always been the best part of their songs.
