Solving polynomials of arbitrary degree

Is there any general method of solving polynomials of arbitrary degree $n$? By ''solving'' I mean expressing solutions in terms of some reasonable special functions and coefficients in a computable manner.

I suppose that the answer should be 'no', since otherwise no one would care about solutions to the polynomials of degree 5.
