I know Ronnie sucks and Mick Taylor is the new Jimi Hendrix.............. Errrr... He's actually the old Mick Taylor who was on the level of the old Hendrix.

Hmm... rather hard question. Usually I don't listen the old bootlegs with that ear, not even Taylor ones, but with the latter one some solos just sound so distinctive that they tend to stand out. With Ronnie it is different, since his solos are like what one could describe with the term "fitting". I'm with Mathijs's list that the most distinguished ones are from 1975 tour when Wood was filling Taylor's shoes with his own take. There sre some surprisingly strong ones. But as the "weaving" era started properly, the nature of his solos changed, and more and more "suitable" they turned out to be. Somehow the idea of finding their "greatest" does not sound appropriate to me. Never listen that 1978/82 era with that ear. If I should find the best one it would be some relatively short, a'la "Miss You" and "Beast of Burden" where Wood's tone is unmistakenly original. But out of memory I can't say where and when - I don't do notes, and those things don't stick to my mind.
Personally wittnessed my highlight live was "Can't You Hear Me Knocking" in Glasgow 2003 (can't recall the date or show number any longer). Simply stunning - both fitting and distinctive.
Of records, I think there is some great stuff in UNDERCOVER, such as "Too Tough". But that's very random. Wood's slide guitar soloing is generally tasty and very "fitting", but can't think any real highlights.
Too hard issue for me!

And that is why he was such a huge success, creating so many great albums and songs after he quit the Stones, right? What were the names of all of those albums and songs again?

I know Ronnie sucks and Mick Taylor is the new Jimi Hendrix...............please Ronnie has had some good moments over the years. He is not Mick Taylor but he does not suck either as some people on this forum think.
Exactly what? If you intend to rewrite history and counter the facts that even the RS website is glad to call their greatest era go ahead. Taylor in an artistic sense died when he left the Stones. He could not manage the drugs and fame. People like Keith, Jerry Garcia, Gregg Allman, Rick Danko, were superhumans when it came to partying, many musicians, roadies and hangers on died trying to keep up but it is near impossible. Taylor was damaged forever by this lifestyle. It's beautiful to see him healthy and alive in 2013.Quote

Exactly what? When did I ever say I was trying to rewrite sh*t? Although Taylor attempted to play and collaborate with some world class musicians after quitting the Stones it never seemed to really pan out. Taylor is NOTHING with out the Stones. I was simply commenting on Max'sKansasCity brilliant post.Quote
