Janick's solo in Ghost Of The Navigator is one of my absolute favourites. People often praise his calmer, slower solos, but this one is quite aggressive. It hits the nail on the head, so to speak. I love those sharp high notes, which he only can make. They not only go through the ears but also through the heart. I'll give the second vote a... second thought.
In case you guys want to know what's going on here, please do read on:
-------
1. You may cast 1 or 2 votes on the song(s) which contain(s) your favourite guitar solo(s). The winner* will come back in the final where all albums will be represented by the strongest songs (solo-wise that is)!
2. In this poll the word solo may be interpreted as broad as you like. E.g., the lead guitars / harmonies / licks (whatever you like to call them) in Iron Maiden & Running Free are imho not really solos since they are repetitive motives, but you can still vote for these tracks in case you like these moments better than others.
3. I will also do the B-sides, so when an album title is mentioned in the subject, this should be interpreted as the "era of that album", not only the album songs themselves.
4. Every poll will run for one week.
5. Only studio tracks.
Last but not least: Thanks a lot in advance for your contribution!
*In case of a tie, a tiebreak will be done to select one song for the final.
