Deep Purple by a million miles. Everyone knows that song and its iconic guitar riff, but between Jon Lord’s organ timbre, Roger Glover’s driving bass line and Ritchie Blackmore’s licks between the verse stanzas, there is so much more going on in that song that nobody talks about.

Bobbie Markwick

So hard to choose just one of these. 0-3-5 absolutely needs to be done at some point. But I'll use my vote to attempt to keep Dr. Feelgood alive

Kylie McInnes

Gotta go with Deep Purple. The background of the song. The guitar riff to end all guitar riffs. The rumbling Hammond organ and bass.

Kylie McInnes

Yeah, I'd vote for either that were incorporated into a polka medley by Weird Al Yankovic.

It's My Life isn't even in my top 20 Bon Jovi songs I'd want to see deconstructed. Everything even tangentially related to the Beatles has been done to death. Dr. Feelgood is okay, but I'd prefer something else from them.

Evan Satinsky

Maybe I'm Amazed is one of my favorite songs, I consider it the perfect pop rock song, I can't wait to see it taken apart!

Kevin Darling

I’m betting as usual that McCartney has more going on than I seem to hear.

If I had not recently seen a really good parody of "It's My Life", I'm not sure I'd have immediately remembered it without looking it up. (Check out "It's Not Rice" by the Holderness Family on Youtube. It's a hoot *and* a holler.)

Kylie gets it. The timbral choice of running his Hammond thru a Marshall tube head into his Leslie cab, literally nobody else was doing at the time — Leslies come with their own solid state amp heads. The thought of using an organ to emulate a second electric guitar, by way of guitar amplification equipment, was truly novel, groundbreaking and noteworthy. The full spectrum of Jon Lord’s tonal palate is on display in the song immediately following Smoke on the Water on the record. It is an indelible part of my musical DNA.

Went for Maybe I'm Amazed. Not the song I like the most, but sounds like the most harmonically complex & I think I understand the others better.

I voted my heart, but McCartney's definitely got the chewiest music theory in this bunch.

Just joined, finally! Also finished watching the Smoke On The Water analysis, nicely done. It's My Life gives me the impression to have a bunch to unravel, as well as being an inspiring song from my early teenage years. Dr. Feelgood strikes my fancy just a bit more, but It's My Life is probably more transversal in terms of audience relatability. Cheers from NJ
