I think it Denny Dias.
 
That whole album is just stuffed with great guitar solos, mainly by Larry Carlton.  The one on Kid Charlemagne is Carlton btw not Denny Dias.

<<Schenker>>

I remember a solo on MSG's Assault Attack on a song called "Dancer" as being out of this world. I had the LP as a kid, but might have to find it somewhere on disc. Good disc. Like to have seen Bonnett with them a bit more.

The solo on "Peg" is pretty magical, too. Same goes for "Black Friday".

I think that's actually a pretty damn good list, although Sultans of Swing or Aqualung should be #1

A ton of stuff by BOC has jaw-dropping solos - a favorite of mine was "Veteran of the Psychic Wars" off Extraterrestrial Live.
 
I saw BOC one time in the late 70's, and they did a version of "Then Came The Last Days of May".  Buck told a story before the song that it was the anniversary of the day that his friend in the song died.  He dedicated the song to him.  He then played the song with a slow, emotional solo that must have lasted 10 minutes!  He is one of the best to ever pick up a Gibson! 
The beatings will continue until morale improves.

How about Hacket's solo on 'Firth Of Fifth' then? Any version you like, really, SEBTP, Seconds Out or my personal favorite from the Archives Vol I box set.

No mention of Zappa? What about 'The Ocean Is The Ultimate Solution', 'Sexual Harrassment In The Workplace', 'Watermelon In Easter Hay' etc etc etc?

Also, an honourable mention to everybody's favorite vegetarian feminist, Ted Nugent - 'Hibernation' or 'Stranglehold' come to mind.
