# The Best Mick Ronson Guitar Solos > The 18 best Mick Ronson guitar solos, ranked. #1 is Moonage Daydream (1972), then The Width of a Circle and Ziggy Stardust. Every video starts at the solo. Canonical URL: Mick Ronson's stripped Les Paul and cranked Marshall gave David Bowie's Ziggy Stardust years their muscle and drama, with solos that were brash, melodic and orchestral. Also a gifted arranger, he took that same cinematic sense into his work with Ian Hunter and Lou Reed. Informed by: [Wikipedia – Mick Ronson](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mick_Ronson) 1.
