Good lord. I think I would burst multiple blood vessels in my head if I even got close to reaching those high notes... |

Those were the good old days singing along to Child in Time and I could actually reach all those high notes.
In Rock was an amazing album for that reason alone and of course Speed King where i learned air guitar

The first three don't get the love that the In Rock thru Machine Head run get, but after digging the band for 40 years, they're the albums I reach for when I want to hear Deep Purple. I also have gotten back into the Who Do We... and Taste the Band LPs over the past few years after overplaying them as a kid.

Concerto For Group And Orchestra (especially the 1999 version). Gemini Suite - a similar idea. Songs? Fools from Fireball.

Uriah Heep weren't a band yet in 1969 when DP was releasing their 3rd album. How could they influence Deep purple's April?

As several have already said 'Child In Time' which makes 'In Rock' probably their most interesting and 'proggy' lp...but as Elf said Made In Japan is all you really need since it contains their best tracks done live.
'April' as Jean said is an interesting one also...Deep Purple meets Uriah Heep with some symphonic stuff. Personally I have never thought of DP as prog but they are listed here on PA as proto prog .

^ Yes, the extended organ solo that comes after Space Truckin ends is the best, and most creative keyboard solo you will find in the world of rock music, prog or otherwise.

Buy Made in Japan and call it a day. No need to go further. Extended versions of every song that are better than the studio releases, and in addition to the proggy "Child in Time", listen to the 19:54 "Space Truckin'" with quotes from Holst and Dvorak.

Shades may not be the most "prog", but had a huge hand in "progressing rock music". Lord's incorporation of orchestral epics into existing pop songs was epic. Using Scheherazade to make an otherwise unlistenable Cream song a

Having listened to every album by Deep Purple recently, I'd say The Book of Taliesyn is the only Deep Purple album that comes close to being a bona fide prog album, and I'd agree that Child in Time is the definitive Deep Purple prog anthem.

that's nonsense, but that's youtube comments for you. Have you ever listened to the Rod Evans era albums of Deep Purple? |

Also, this might be a bit off topic, but according to youtube, November rain is considered prog, what do ya'll think of that?

I've heard that deep purple is considered to be a semi-prog band from many sources, how ever the only definitive prog song I can I say know of theirs is Child in time. Do ya'll know what other songs they have in the prog roster?
