Stormbringer the album
is so, so bad, in contrast to how good the song is. Burn is probably my favourite Purple song. Fireball is my second.

I don't think Hush is that good, especially since it's a cover version.

that is reassuring
also, Burn and Fireball are probably in my top 5 Purple songs.

What does being a cover version have to with whether it's any good or not?
Only a cloth-eared cretin would try to argue that Hendrix's All Along The Watchtower isn't as good as Dylan's.

Even Dylan admitted it and changed the way he played it to be kind of cover of Jimi's interpretation.

is Kula Shaker's version a cover of the original
or a cover of the cover?

It's a cover of the Purple version
Most people haven't heard the Billy Joe Royal version - indeed I'm surprised Al has.

It's a cover version
which sounds almost identical to the original, and the original wasn't that good to start with.
