All of the Mike solos.

Stone's Brain of J solo beats many of Mike's solos.

sounds like you're overthinking guitar solos

Story solos include NAIS, Immortality, Alive, etc.

The energy ones are Brain of J, Do the Evolution, MYM, etc.

Discuss.

That's pretty on. the 'story solos' have a tone to them that don't make them easily transferable to other songs. You could lift the brain of J solo and drop it into MYM, and vice versa, and it would have been fine.

I don't really care for their solos, so I prefer when they either skip them or use them as sort of interludes. The more "rock solo" it gets, the more unremarkable it becomes.
I'm pretty sure I agree with you as moments like the solos in Ghost, SoLaT, Sad or even Brain of J are much more appealing to me than an Even Flow or MYM or LB.

In the true solo sense then Alive, Immortality, NAIS are great and immediately came to mind.

Sad and Ghost are both good ones. I don't really care for the overly 'lyrical' solos, though. They feel....tepid to me, I guess. Like, with NAiS, I love the sound of it and the production and the atmosphere etc, but the playing itself sounds like Dave Gilmour not really caring about some friend's track he's guesting on. Live versions of that song are just awful to me, because the writing/soloing suffers from being divorced from that canvas.

The Immortality one kind of deconstructs, so I do like that one quite a bit.

Immortality

and, specifically, the 1995 Self Pollution radio one.

The first two albums and Temple are his high water mark. Solo wise. I don't think its an accident that the more the band sounds like Bad Company the more comfortable Mike feels. He usually has one solo (post Vs.) per album where he constructs parts (I guess we are calling them stories here) that if you hummed it to someone they would know what song you are doing.

As far as the composed solos go, I really love Daughter's.

that's a good one. Not to flashy, but a great fit for the song.

I was listening to Melbourne '98, and the Go outtro solo was pretty damn good.
