Songs With Bad Guitar Solos

Okay guys, this is up for interpretation, but what songs do you feel have bad guitar solos in them?
For starters:
Tears For Fears - Everybody Want to Rule the World. This song did not need a guitar solo and the one at the end is super terrible. Especially if you listen to the extended mix.
Any others?

Bring me your flames, for I speaketh uncomfortable truth and accept thine cowardly disdain.
LED ZEPPLIN HEARTBREAKER
One of the worst guitar solos ever allowed on wax.

yeah... always thought that sounded like a comped solo, it has some cool licks but doesn't seem like a full solo

x a million. I’ve never understood why his lame, unimaginitive pentatonic blather was ever given a nod, much less a sig guitar.

Pat Benetar - Shadows of the night.
Great song, bad solo. Sounds like they took some other track of a person rehearsing, and put it over the top of the song.

Any Nirvana.
Also, Beastie Boys - Fight for your right. just awful.
edit: totally agree about Santana. Never thought he was a great player. Probably why Schon didn't last with him. Carlos knew he could knock his dick in the dirt.

Fwiw, I think the every rose has its thorn solo is awesome
