Deep Purple - Machine Head




Very good album. Not their fault "Smoke on the Water" became every learning guitarist's first riff and soundtracked every visit to every music store for the next five decades. "Highway Star" and "Space Truckin'" are fantastic bookends.
 
I do like this Deep Purple album better than the live thing. Not gonna turn them off when they come up in a playlist or on the classic rock station, but not gonna be seeking them out/adding them to the collection.
 
A. I forgot to update for Deep Purple.
B. Time change always screws up the 11pm turnover. I will not be staying up to see what it is. Will post as early as I remember in the morning.
 
I feel like this a band where I only know the radio hits but could probably get in to if I dug a little deeper.
I got the Mono box for a decent deal and it was my deep dive. Do not regret it at all. I bought Lola and really need to explore after that. They are a great band. I should ping @HiFi Guy so he can grace us with his thoughts.
