I will actually have to agree on that. The song has never done much for me.

What would you do, if I sang out of tune?

WABMC definately, if for nothing else Gillans vocals and lyrics are superior to Coverdales, although SOF is one of his better efforts.

Actually I really like all these songs metionened here, they could easily play Wasted Sunsets, Walk On or even Don't Make Ke Happy isntead of Blindman.

I like all the songs previously mentioned (except Lalena) and if I had to pick a favorite it would either be Haunted or Wasted Sunsets.

When a Blind Man Cries has always been one of my favourite songs -along with Wasted Sunsets actually.
SOF never did much for me, although it sticks out because the rest of Stormbringer is so weak. (It could have been a great track if they extended it a bit, but it sounds a bit unfinished)

"Wasted Sunset" is hardly an album filler, it's the best track on that album !emoticon WABMC wins over SOF anyday it just oozes with atmosphere, SOF is not bad but I'd love to hear Gillan do it. (Never liked DC's soapy voice on ballads.) -I realize DC wrote the words but Blackers wrote that tune a couple of years too late. emoticon

I prefer WABMC over SOF. And Wasted Sunsets is truly an awesome song.

I guess I'm the only one who prefers Soldier of Fortune...by far. No contest.

 Nope. You and Rahul Squarepants both seem to share this preference. Favorite song-wise, not necessarily wardrobe-wise. emoticon / emoticon
