Pumpkins make it twice in 100 greatest solos of all time 1 Year, 11 Months ago  
Video: http://cityrag.blogs.com/main/2007/01/100_greatest_gu.html
list: http://guitar.about.com/library/bl100greatest.htm

#54 with Geek U.s.a. and #97 with Cherub Rock. I thought it was cool they honored Billy for his guitar and music writing skills, which aren't respected too often.

While we're at it, what's your favorite Smashing Pmpkins Guitar solo? I like Starla and Hello Kitty Kat best.

Well I've listened to Tribute to Johnny fairly recently and it definitely surprised me. However I would have to say Geek U.S.A is the greatest because if it wasn't for that song I wouldn't have picked up the guitar.

Thats really cool. My favourite solo is the intro solo to mayonaise (and all the other solos in that song for that manner.) However, Stand inside your Love is a close second; its absolute bliss.

"Untitled", "Drown (Extended Version)" or "XYU" from "Exit Mellon Collie"...

the Hummer solo, beyond any doubt. both the solo before the "Ask yourself a question, anyone but me, I ain't free" part AND the clean solo at the end of the song.. Those are imo the best pieces of guitarwork ever

The Geek USA solo is pretty amazing. Watch a clip of it on youtube and you appreciate it more. I've always liked the riff on Hello Kitty Kat as well.

I like the solo in Blew Away, but all the others everyone mentioned are great.

And if I can add a Zwan solo, I love the one in Settle Down.
