Fave Deep Purple Song?

[Hot Tub]

Maybe I'm A Leo is a definite contender for me too, and Lazy from the same album has some wonderful bass work. But if I had to pick just one, probably Place In Line from Who Do We Think We Are.

Thats the first time i have listened to Demons eye in over 40 years, but i can now hear how and why I found and got into Led Zep after that, that sort of incidental rambling vocal commentary at the end that runs under the band, not sure its supposed to feature as a main lyric really, it seems to be a very British Prog Rock style other bands adopted too.

Sooooo many good songs, but I do have a soft spot for this one....

[/quote]Great choice from a criminally underrated album.

[spectoremg]

Really tough one but it's got to be Highway Star from Made in Japan. Blistering.

[dmccombe7]

Got to be Burn for me.

Burn is a classic.

I'd personally go for Lay Down, Stay Down or Dealer.

But TBH, it would be everything Mark 3 and 4. That's Purple for me. Much prefer that time to Mark 2.

Might Just Take Your Life for me. Love that keyboard.

On another day it might be a different one though!

Demon's eye was always mine - it was a B side of Fireball so was accessible on the pub juke boxes and i think my most selected song ever. If you were ever in White's Bar Oxford in about 72

Demon's Eye for me too.

[SaxyBassist]

Lazy

[Bass Culture]

'Into the Fire' from In Rock. Always loved 'When A Blind Man Cries' too.

[Paul S]

Another fave for me, but not best and favourite, is 'No One Came' - love that pulsing rhythm. Sums up some of my gigs.

I used to like jamming along with Bloodsucker from Deep Purple in Rock but I still go back to Burn occasionally.

Do you have any empirical data to prove this?

While the MkIII version may get some stick, I don't think you can ignore the groove of Mistreated and I doubt Glen Hughes on his own could give it the same soul.

Better or different?

Different of course. All three had a lot to offer. Hughes impresses me most.

Burn and Mistreated were the best Deep Purple tracks for me, and Burn the best overall album.

[leroydiamond]

Perfect Strangers is my favourite DP track.

[Mykesbass]

I'm with Mrs Blackmore - this was her favourite, hence the band name.

 

[Marillionred]

Today?

 

Child In Time

When A Blind Man Cries

Perfect Strangers

[fleabag]

Demon's Eye,  Flight of The Rat,  Speed King.

A difficult one to call, but I think my favourite is ..........................

 

 

 

And one of the best covers of Deep Purple's  Highway Star is ..........................

 

 

 

[Dr.Dave]

Default mode tells me to pick something from Made in Japan but my thinking head says Perfect Strangers

[Stub Mandrel]

1. Hush
2. Child in Time
3. Perfect Strangers

[dmccombe7]

Stormbringer is another track i always liked playing when i was in a DP tribute.

Dave

[Paul S]

On balance they are prob the band I like the most.  Anyway, I can't choose but here's a great live version of the Nos on Beat Club.
