Whilst there are so many outstanding Edge guitar solo's to choose from, do you have a favourite? I've just rediscovered my love for his masterpiece during 'All I want Is You' which I believe is up there with his best work. What's your favourite?

No question about it for me .. Silver and Gold. The studio version of the solo is great, but the live version on Rattle and Hum with the great intro by Bono after his diatribe on South Africa, well, you just can't beat that in my book. "Okay Edge, play the blues."
Hence my handle.

New Year's Day is my sentimental favourite. Also The Fly, AIWIY, WILATW. I don't really think of him as a man for solos, actually. The Fly probably is his best solo.

Not that it's technically a solo, but the beginning to "One". That or maybe his fabulous work in "Mysterious Ways." Either one is quite enjoyable.

The Fly, hands down best solo (though live Bullet from Sydney Zoo Tv show is pretty mind blowing).
Also i like New Year's Day, Twilight and Electric Co. (UABRS version).
Some neat solos:
If You Wear That Velvet Dress (very moody)
Some Days are Better Than Others (haven't heard that guitar sound from Edge that much...very unique for him...though i can't tell if that's a messed-up guitar or a weird synth doing the solo)
