It doesn't matter if they are 1, 2 or 3. Mention them and if you want to you can also especify why.

Mine are:

Black diamond
Coming home
Distant Skies
Visions

There are more I'd like to add but especially these make me wanna cry

Ones that I consider very good are probably

Dream with me - So much feeling it brings tears to my eyes
Liberty - Quite the same here

All of the afore mentioned are good, but what about DESTINY, and WILL MY SOUL EVER REST IN PEACE? Those are played with obvious very much feeling.
And, the solos in SOS&KISS OF JUDAS are very lively, and intense. Very good.

Will The Sun Rise.

Great solo battle ending with sync between them into a high note. Awesome.

You are so right. Just listened to Will my soul ever rest in peace and thought that I definitely have to add that to my list!

And Season of faith's perfection is pretty nice!

I don't really like the real shredding solos. That's why I can't stand Yngwie's playing. And that vibrato ugh. But just my opinion and I must admit that Yngwie is a hell of a guitar player!

more power metal to you

some of my favs are

wings of tomorrow
anthem of the world
we hold the key
paradise

what the guys come up with live is what really makes the solos and singing special. even when they miss they miss with grace for me, some of it would drive others crazy though. fun stuff

one of my favorite parts of the stratovarius solos are when they are played under the lyrics or as a ending, or have the squeals or are held while they start the chorus.

run away has both

All solos in Destiny (the song) are fun-tastic.

One of my favourites is the keyboard solo in Why Are We Here?. Also, the second solo in Night Time Eclipse (after the part that says "Waiting for the dawn soon to arrive, so few options that I have, that I can use. Life's circunstances can be so cruel. If I take a chance I just might make the wrong move.") is great (though too short).

Oh, and also the solos in Legions, Will My Soul Ever Rest In Peace? and Soul Of A Vagabond are awesome.

Well, perhaps a better question would be "what Stratovarius songs aren't among your favourites?", heh.

the end solo of Twilight Symphony from Visions of Europe is one of my favorite solos ever. Also Stratosphere, A Million Light Years Away, Stratofortres, Lord of the Wasteland and the demo version of Fantasia are brilliant.
