Poll: What is the best "Unknown" guitar work?
It's been a while since I've seen a poll/survey/opinion type-thing on here, so let's start one! In your opinion, what is the best guitar work you've heard that isn't a song that was ever considered a "hit?" For example, "Stairway to Heaven" and "Hotel California" wouldn't count. Great fret work, but also very well-known songs.
We'll do it like this - over the next couple weeks, we'll take nominations - no more than 3 nominations per entry, please! Then, we'll do an elimination round and whittle it down some more, and see if we can't come up with a "Top 10" list.
At the very worst, maybe you'll be exposed to some music you wouldn't have even known existed otherwise! When making your nominations, feel free to elaborate as to what you think makes the song so outstanding. Be sure to include the name of the song, the album, the band, and of course, the guitarist, like so:
"The Prophet's Song"
"A Night at the Opera"
Queen
Brian May on guitar.
There's nomination number 1!
Have fun!

Camel-The Snow Goose-
Andrew Latimer plays guitar beautifully through this concept album, which I consider to be one of guitars most important 20th century rock works.
Not one extra note can be found and his tasteful legato. The technique while playing changes between structured work and improvisation is beautiful. Spot on!

"Theme of Laura"
"Overdose Delusion"
Composer: Akira Yamaoka
Guitarist: Unknown
Album: Silent Hill 2 OST.
From the opening bittersweet acoustic strums, to the chorus/tremolo-fueled outright spookiness the solo's crescendo, "Theme of Laura" is an emo-odyssey.
"Overdose Delusion" has some of the best lead tones contained in its 4:35 of driving, multiple-guitar-layered menace.
I urge each of you to hear them for yourself at www.silenceisbroken.com, in the sound of silence section.
