Those great ideas we all have when at a bar, drunk? Well Deep Purple's Black Night proves that they're not all garbage because that's exactly how it was conceived. This was a surprise hit in England and even made it to number three in the charts. Of course, Smoke on the Water is the preferred song by the heavy metal forerunners in this country, and therefore it's woefully overplayed.
Crank this one loud, as they were once called the Loudest Band on Earth by the Guinness Book of World Records, and though the new(er) kids in town, My Bloody Valentine and Swans have unofficially taken the title, the band would probably still appreciate it.
But what do you think?
