The oddest of 'em all...


Here's something we might have done already, but I don't remember...

What's is for you the oddest, most different dP track (all marks, any song).

Does it please you? Do you hate it?

Here's mine:

"Painted Horse": I think it's an incredible track, very smooth yet heavy and very graceful. I just love the vocals (very different from the other vocal lines-which is what TmiB didn't like if I remember correctly).

I also think they should go for songs more in that mood, now that they've reach a certain age emoticon
I also love the use of the harpmouth.

Anyway, Painted Horse has always been a favorite of mine, non-classic Purple-style.
Very classy!

Painted Horse is fantastic. One of my faves from that session.

A rather obvious one would be Anyone's Daughter. Great song, but very out of character with the band, especially after In Rock.

The version on Come Hell Or High Water still floors me. Fabulous.

Then there is Love Conquers All, which Is a horrible rock ballad, the kind of which would have had Survivor or Foreigner laughing as they put it on to a b-side.

The main reason that I choose "Painted Horse" as a username, was the way that it stood out in the DP catalogue, not the sort of thing that anyone not familiar with the band would associate with them. Anyone's Daughter is another good example, DP do country, who'd a thunk it emoticon And more recently, we have The Aviator, a lovely little song, completly out of character with the rest of "Purpendicular". And theres bound to be more, but that's all i can think of for now

I think "Never A Word" from Bananas is in this category. I couldn't stand the song when the album first came out, but of more recent times the song has grown on me and I quite enjoy it. Definitely one of Purple's more peculiar tracks.

Difficult for me to pick out any oddities from the Morse era as it's all very different to what went before anyway. Agree that Anyone's Daughter is the obvious one, but most of Fireball is actually very untypical of Deep Purple. Another oddity for me is Soldier of Fortune which with the benefit of hindsight was very much a foretaste of Rainbow with hints of both Temple of the King and Catch the Rainbow.

I agree with most of the thread. I wouldn't pick SoF as odd, although at the time it may have been. But since there have been many Blackmore or Coverdale songs that echoed that one.

Of the worst/oddest, Love Conquers All, bar none. DP never did anything like it before or since (thankfully). Not only is it a bad song, it isn't characteristic of DP.

A Touch Away is probably my favorite/oddest DP song. Ah, but then there's Anyone's Daughter too. Tough call.

River Deep, Mountain High. Actually most of the MK1 covers seem rather bizzare to me.

I'd also go for "Anyone's Daughter" and "A Touch Away", but "Smoke on the Water" still bluffs me: a song about how it has been written...! Brillant!
