A window to the west, a blazing star above
Time to get in on this “oddly specific poll” trend!

In the blue corner, we have David Ellefson and Jeff Scott Soto’s entry “Celebrity Trash”, from their debut album Vacation In The Underworld:


…and in the red corner, we have Dave Mustaine’s entry “Célebutante”, from Megadeth’s latest album The Sick, The Dying…And The Dead!:


Who will win? Only you can decide!
 
Anyhoo…

The Megadeth track has a better main riff and verse, and a better instrumental section. I also dig the callbacks to “Skull Beneath The Skin”.

That said, the Ellefson-Soto song is no slouch, with far better vocals, a strong instrumental section and pre-chorus, and an absolutely sublime chorus.

This is actually really close overall, and I could probably go either way — but that killer chorus in “Celebrity Trash” is enough to tip it in the challengers’ direction for me. Winner: Ellefson-Soto
