Once upon a time, in the late '60s and early '70s, British music magazine Melody Maker ran a weekly column titled Blind Date, where guest musicians would be invited to share their opinions on a selection of Tracks of the Week, without being told who had recorded the songs in question. This led to some honest and forthright opinions being shared, as the members of Black Sabbath would discover when two of their early singles were included in the feature.
In the January 10, 1970 issue of the paper, Pink Floyd's Roger Waters offered his thoughts on songs by, among others, his former bandmate Syd Barrett, Canned Heat, The Rascals, New York Rock & Roll Ensemble and Black Sabbath. The Sabbath song in question was their first single, the Birmingham band's cover of Crow's Evil Woman: Waters was far from impressed.
