Bleecker Street - Simon & Garfunkel
Fire & Rain - James Taylor
Operator - Jim Croce
The Stone/Rhyme & Reason - Dave Matthews Band
Little Wing - SRV
Lonely Stranger - Eric Clapton
Blackbird - The Beatles

These come to mind first, but each song I learn usually adds something new.

Pretty much every song on Trey's self-titled album. I learned that when you are soloing there is no point in trying to shred the whole time, like Jimmy Page, and create a solo that people who are not all stoned will get into. One has to make every note count, and worry about tone as well, and Trey's tone is second to none. Cayman review is a perfect example

Listening to the Rolling Stones, the way that Keith Richards and Ronnie Wood are always perfectly weaving their guitars together and never overplaying the other. Listen to a song like Beast of Burdon or their live version of Wild horses (with dave singing) for great example.

You've got to be kidding me. Listen to him live on songs like Since I've been loving you and dazed and confused. how the guy keeps from breaking all his strings I will never know.

i'd rather name players that made me look at guitar differently, because anybody could get lucky by writing one cool song. most of these just made me look at compostion and music in general in new ways

Don Ross
Wes Montgomery
John Scofield
Pat Metheny
Tom Wolfe (my guitar professor)

Yep, jessica is an amazing tune.

Umphrey's McGee - Miss Tinkle's Overture
Incubus - Pyschopsilocybin and Just a Phase
311 - Lifes Not a Race
Led Zeppelin - California Song
Ted Nugent - Stranglehold

Thats all I got for now

I never said shredding necessarily makes solos sound better. On the contrary, you are right in saying that, because Page often dribbles off key when he shreds. Listen to Jack Black's solo on that lame song his band plays in the first scene of School of Rock (right before he stage dives and lands on the floor). He tries to shred a solo in the key of Dm, along with the song, but fails miserably, goes way out of key, and sounds like shit.
