    "Right Now" on "For unlawful Carnal Knowledge" is the quality of Eddie solo that "Beat It" should have had but never got close to.
    I'll agree that it's not as great as it is unexpected.

    I was thinking about this just the other day when I was listening to the radio. The 90's band Concrete Blonde actually had some good solos.

    Mankey, their guitar player, had an interesting tone and sense of phrasing. I thought Joey and God With A Bullet had some nice tasteful solos.

    For sure, Mankey was so melodic, Joey is a great solo.

    Maria Muldaur's "Midnight at the Oasis" comes to mind - excellent solo (Amos Garrett).
    Also, "Wicked Game" by Chris Isaak - hauntingly simple but memorable lead work (James Calvin Wilsey?).

    The solos in the Beatles song "The End".
    I have always expected good solos from George Harrison and have never been disappointed, but I never expected good solos from Paul McCartney and John Lennon as well. The solo sequence is McCartney, Harrison, then Lennon........repeat twice.
    Not Carlton or Lukather-esque...........but tasty stuff.

    All very pop tunes, which is why it's "unexpected" I guess:

    Cars - "Bye Bye Love" & "Just What I Needed"
    John Mayer - "Wheel"
    Fleetwood Mac - "You Make Loving Fun"
    Boston - "Hitch a Ride" and "Peace of Mind"
    Bryan Adams - "It's Only Love"
    David Bowie - "China Girl" (sure, it's SRV, but SRV + Bowie = unexpected)
