Both all the way! Lord and Blackmore are both legends and Highway Star is one of the best showcases of both their talents.

From an historical perspective, if you were a young rock guitarist in the 70s, you tried Blackmore's solo. It was a rite of passage. I would still place it among the top ten solos of all-time for sheer burn factor.

If dear Jon Lord wasn't in DP, I'd probably not bother with them. I used to have around 15 LP's of theirs, nowadays I only have 4 - Shades Of, Taliesyn, S/T and Made In Japan.

Although I'm not a fan of the band I am a guitarist. So, for that reason I voted for Blackmore.

Both .....I'm not big fan of DP in general..... but I had a good laugh the other day because I watch 'Ash vs Evil Dead' on cable tv and Ash played by Bruce Campbell was cranking that song in his car on the way down the highway after killing monsters.

I don't remember any witches in it, but I voted for Ritchie - that harmony guitar solo is just brilliant (and I'm talking about the studio version obviously).
Jon Lord's solo is great as well.

I love the neo-classical sound on both solos.

Watched the entire Season 1 the other week. ELP's Knife-Edge is used in the credits of that episode. Lots of great classic rock tracks throughout the series.
