Solo or no solo, personally I've found that 95% of the rock music post 80s is 100% boring to listen to. Or, if they are exciting to listen to, their singer opens his mouth and ruins it. Sounds more like their trying to pass a turd the size of a log in most cases.

It's amazing how a singer can take a band from great to awesome, or take an awesome sounding band and make them sound like pure trash.
