Hard to argue with the twin solos in 'Comfortably Numb'. They're certainly Dave's best, but I think I'd put Page's 'Since I've Been Lovin' You' at the top of the heap.

Dandelion don't tell no lies
Dandelion will make you wise
Tell me if she laughs or cries
Blow away dandelion
I'm afraid there's no denying
I'm just a dandelion
a fate I don't deserve.
