Guitar solo´s in popsongs

[MindRuler]

In this thread you can post links to popsongs with a great guitarsolo.
So no punk, hardrock or metal adjacent songs!

If you want to go straight to the greatness? 2:19!

@MindRuler I hope you won't be bothered if I start spamming the thread with Bollywood songs as there are some really good solos in there!

(at the mark of 3:07!)

I love the guitar solo in, Hey Hey Copenhagen, b-side of the Black Lace single, Do the Conga ...

Depends what people call pop music, but these are pop songs with great solos:

Basically every John Mayer song
Carpenters - Goodbye to love
Michael Jackson - Give in to me
Duran Duran - Ordinary world

Easily the guitar solo in Beat it by Michael Jackson., Originally by Eddie Van Halen. That solo just elevated a already classic song to absolute stardom!

A run through of the different performances of the solo through the years!
