Some songs regarded as classics are really crap....discuss

It is a classic.......shame on you!!

The guitar riff is easier than Smoke on the Water........and ten times better!!

Peel would turn in his graveif he hadn't been cremated

There's another! I am a huge Deep Purple fan but SOTW is not even close to their best tune! Highway Star, Stormbringer, Child in Time..............

What HAVE you started.........expect a barrage from Steve56 on the merits of Deep Purple and some really obscure songs only HE has heard.

Trust me !wink!
