In retrospect no, would switch that and "I Want To Know What Love Is". Would also move "Midnight Blue" down a notch or two, maybe replace "Tooth and Nail" with "Heart Turns to Stone".

Yeah, I've always thought IWTKWLI (Long abbreviation!) was his best.
You should add "Lost in The Shadows" from the Lost Boys soundtrack, hahaha. :lol:

Well you're keeping discussion going at least, but I'm not sure there's any point. Wanted seems to have all but vanished into thin air...

Sherick · **Posted:** Sat Jan 14, 2012 7:32 pm

Tim's still here.

Timi · **Posted:** Sat Jan 14, 2012 7:35 pm

I wonder why Wanted disappeared too. Probably busy with school or something?

Prolly yeah.

Anyway Gillan's list needs a reworking...Space Truckin is cool but it shouldn't be there. And Speed King really needs to be there...

1. Child in Time
2. Gethsemane (I Only Want to Say)
3. Disturbing the Priest (Demo)
4. Fighting Man
5. Men of War
6. Speed King
7. Abbey of Thelema
8. Bloodsucker
9. If I Sing Softly
10. Mr. Universe

Sherick · **Posted:** Sun Jan 22, 2012 11:28 pm

Born Again should still be on there though.

Is it better than Mr. Universe?

I'm thinking Into The Fire could maybe sneak in somewhere too. In Rock is just so vocally mind-blowing...

Bloodsucker is better than Speedking.

In Rock truly is one of the greatest hard rock albums ever. Needs more respect and accolades.

Timi · **Posted:** Mon Jan 23, 2012 11:20 am

Bloodsucker > Speed King

Not at all.
Bloodsucker only has screams at the end of each verse. The verses themselves are nothing impressive at all.
Speed King is sung entirely in rough chesty voice with falsetto screams and lots of power. It has much more to it than Bloodsucker.
