Martin Barre is in my top five list of guitar players and his tone on Cross Eyed Mary is as unique as Jon Lord's organ tone is in Deep Purple. The word "Grind" comes to mind. But damn, He's a vague as Billy Gibbons on he gets it.
This solo appears to me as more he doesn't know what he is doing on a guitar (the guy who wrote it). Just meandering around on a blues scale. But I guess some people dig it. I've heard the song ten thousand times and I never even noticed it HAD a guitar solo, it was so memorable.
Killer tone, the phrasing and harmonics, yes one of the best guitar solos of all.

The guitar solo on Aqualung is one of my top three all time guitar solos along with Deep Purple's Highway Star and Led Zeppelin's Whole Lotta Love.

You can hum The Melody of the solo
To me the M Barre Aqualung solo is the best I ever hear .
