It's King Rick vs Donk!!!

This is Ry Cooder with 'At the Dark End of the Street'

Here's Thin Lizzy with 'Whiskey in the Jar'

Ry Cooder was good but I wasn't expecting it to win going against a band I like singing a traditional that I like. However, "At The Dark End Of The Street" had a better guitar solo, AND I have heard much better versions of "Whiskey In The Jar". Winner this round is "At The Dark End Of The Street" .

Going purely and only by guitar solo I'm going for Ry Cooder.

I've been listening to whiskey on a jar for 20 years or so and never thought of it as a guitar solo song

Yeah, as much as I love Whiskey in the Jar, that's not a solo, it's just the riff. Ry Cooder for me by default.

The vocals on At the Dark End of the Street are legit. Would’ve been a better song without the three minutes of slide wankery. Whiskey in the Jar(o) might legitimately be the second most boring song I’ve ever heard.

i'm fine losing, but feel the field's definition of solo is a bit too abstract

if you google "whisky in the jar solo" there's literally hundreds of websites talking about it, dozens of videos teaching it, even interviews with the thin lizzy guitarist specifically about the famous solo

i'm a bit flummoxed you guys don't consider a classic song known for its iconic guitar solo one that qualifies as a song with a guitar solo
