1. Free Bird - Lynyrd Skynyrd (Great guitars, best solo in a song ever. Also has great meaning to the lyrics! All around GREAT!!!)

I'm surprised only one person mentioned this one. I'm not much of a fan of rock as a whole, but I find some of their songs surprisingly enjoyable to listen to, mostly for the instrumentals, and this song is a real showcase as far as that is concerned.
