Freebird, like there's any question. That song is such an epic and has the greatest solo EVER.
I faced death. I went in with my arms swinging. But I heard my own breath and had to face that I'm still living. I'm still flesh. I hold on to awful feelings. I'm not dead... My chest still draws breath. I hold it. I'm buoyant. There's no end.

"Eruption" changed music forever, it gets my vote.

I voted for Freebird, but just because its so difficult to pull off a solo like that, I think Comfortably Numb or even Stairway are better sounding.
Ride the spiral to the end, you may just go where no ones been.

I voted Stairway to Heaven, because it's Led Zeppelin and Jimmy Page had some really excellent solos. Stairway wasn't his best, though. Just the most popular.
