You know you've got one... One of those songs you get so into that you REALLY wish you knew how to play it. Whether it be a song with a killer drumbeat and you don't play drums, or perhaps the standard mindblowing guitar solo you wish you knew how to play.
So what's that song for you?
One of mine is the guitar track for "The Crowing" by Coheed & Cambria... It's not hard to find, so go look. The part that absolutely gets me is at about 2:50.
Also, and I know no one here listens to this band but me, but go check out the beginning to "Alaska" by Between the Buried and Me. It's really weird metal, but I think just about anyone can agree that the intro to that song is moving.

I'd play any Fall Out Boy song. Because i'm just a lonely emo girl at heart.
I wish I'd learned to play the guitar or the piano when I was little, but no one was offering to teach me (my parents weren't big on lessons, even if my dad does play both instruments).

I wish I knew how to play this 'standard mindblowing guitar solo' like the master himself does.
Old musicians kick ass -- solo starts around 4'50"

On a holophonor, of course.

Anything insanely advanced by Andres Segovia. Now that old man kicked some classical guitar ass.

I take mine back and echo Gnorb. I totally want to play the holophoner. I can't believe I forgot all about that
(and the best part was at the end when Fry got his human hands back.. but that's just the cheezy romantic in me)

Pretty much any solo by Steve Vai
The technique and ear benefits alone would make you a much better player!
