All it takes is a little evangelism on your part and, who knows; there may be one more Blackmore's Night fan in the world. Merely presenting a list of tracks you happen to like isn't going to do it, I'm afraid. It's up to you.
 
yeah to honest i was drunk when posted it all lol,now i,m thinking oh god  bloodey drink lol.

keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen

On second thoughts, don't bother. It would take someone with a little more linguistic prowess to impress me. I'll check out Youtube instead.

For someone who obviously has a very low regard for Americans, (the Netherlands is in Europe btw) I find it ironic that you have spelled 'favorite' without the 'u' in the title of this thread.

Perception is truth, ergo opinion is fact.

i,ll give the others to say what they got to say to ya,,basicly i think deep purple needs blackmore cause steve morse cant play for sh*t[sorry],and yeah blackmore needs  the others if he wants chart bigger success but quite honest i dont think he cares and good on him,cause hes had it and chart means sh*t nowadays,quite honest i,m a little pissed at moment lol[had a bit o purple on to],mate,i like what you say,but are you a blackmore fan NO.no offence,i get where ya coming from cause i was like you blackmores night took me few times to get it,but listened to some songs and kind of made me really like it,maybe have a joint or a beer or few[lololol] with  "way to mandalay" of ghost of a rose nd you might enjoy,maybe you dont like it cause blackmore has got a woman singing to his music lolol,just joking,i respect your views just ppl in life do like and love different music and like all the samne music is boring and its really nice when someone plays something different what they done before,anyway what do you think of deep purples "when a blind man crys" then,i bet you dont like it as its like slowwwwwww.

Please give reasons for your choices of favourite songs, that I may know where to start looking. Perhaps I'll give "that banjo player", (as Gillan calls him to this day) another chance.
 
 thought i,d say heres some other bands i like,porcupine tree,led zeppelin,deep purple,pink floyd,after forever,hawkwind,ozric tentacles,ayreon,bob marley,johnny cash,judas priest,eninem[think spelt right lol],astralasia,amon duul2,gillan,kasabian,matallica,and few others to,my mrs likes hiphop but she likes and loves blackmores night to she says to say to you its nice calming music so wake up .

basicly the song"locked within the crystal ball" is a good song,shadow of the moon,fires at midnight,diamonds and rust,i think there not to bad to start with,but it seems that you listen more more what gillan has to say,quite honest give blackmore a chance as he got fed up of playing the same old songs and music for 30 years like,so i take my hat of to blackmore for playing music which he loves as i said he used to play renaissance music in his hotel room in the 70s,dont think i dont like purple i love purple just i think they are better with blackmore and same back basicly as i think both need each other,as purple have lost something to,but same goes with blackmore to,so fair is fair,let them both all do what they love i say.
