Are they the worst?


Most reviews I read of "WDWTWA" and "Burn" list "Our Lady" as the worst song on WDWTWA and "A200" as the worst song on Burn. I disagree. I think Our Lady is excellant with a great vocal from Gillan and A200 is one of the best songs on Burn. Lord and RB are excellant. Any opinions? Thanks!!

Both are brilliant songs. "Our Lady" is a touching, bittersweet piece that closes Purple's most classic and innovative period with a aching feeling of absolute longing. "A 200" is a long-overdue instrumental that is atmospheric, progressive, and features killer musicianship from all involved. I can't even begin to imagine either album without these closing tracks.

Our Lady is one of the most beautifil and evocative songs I have ever heard. It has an almost late Beatles feel to it. Can't understand the worst song tag at all. My only critisism of A200 is that it could have been extended and expanded, but impressive all the same.

Both are great tracks IMHO and a long way from being the weakest tracks on either album which for me are Super Trouper on WDWTWA and LDSD or WGOH on Burn.

For me Our Lady is one of DP's finest moments, would love to have heard a live treatment as I feel it had great potential. As for A200 there a couple of contenders for Burn's worst track, in no particular order, it and MJTYL, WGOH for me are filler. But then I much prefer to WDWTWA to Burn anyway.

Both brilliant tracks. I love the heaviness of Our Lady. A200 has one of Blackmore's best solo ever.

Anyway, there isn't a single track to throw away on those 2 albums.

Our lady is a wonderful song, especially when you think of the chaos surrounding the recording of the album

I love A200, it would have been fantastic if MK III had played it live.

Our Lady is my favorite song from WDWTWA and I love A200 as well. I agree, to me WGOH is the throwaway from Burn and I don't say that lightly.
