21. Joe Walsh
Blessed with the middle name “Fiddler,” Joe Walsh of the Eagles appeared destined for a musical journey right from birth. Joining the band at a later stage, coinciding with the release of their mega-hit “Hotel California,” it’s his guitar wizardry that shines through in the song’s original recording—widely hailed as one of the most iconic guitar solos ever. Apart from his contribution to “Hotel California,” his musical repertoire boasts gems like “Rocky Mountain Way” and “Funk #49.”

20. Pete Townshend
Pete Townshend initially served as the guitarist for The Who. Despite his exceptional talent, he refrained from performing any solos during his tenure with the band. Nevertheless, crafting the guitar sections for tracks such as “My Generation,” “I Can See for Miles,” and the rendition of “Summertime Blues” alone would suffice to position him prominently on our rankings, even disregarding his subsequent solo endeavors.
