I think the Brian May solo is pretty much perfect. Not one single flaw in there, it just fits

Queen on this one.

Boston put out some good tunes, but I just never got way into them.

When in doubt, Brian May is the answer.

As much as I love Boston and Scholz (who doesn't love a guitar opera) I have to go with May. Brian May, in public circles, IMO, is one of the most underrated guitarists in RnR.

I never found it in my heart to like Boston or that one song.

They were the original Nickleback.

Brian May for a number of reasons. One being that tone. No one drives a VOX AC30 quite like May does.
