| Purple I would agree to be prog until their Mk II line-up broke-up. After all we got Uriah Heep in the Archives and Taliesyn is more prog than Salisbury. |

Agree with Sean, though already MKII saw a shift towards more heavy blues based metal. MKI is blues psychedelic, a bit more difficult to get into than Gillan/Glover era. ------------- I'm always almost unlucky _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Id5ZcnjXSZaSMFMC Id5LM2q2jfqz3YxT |

I agree, BTW "Sarabande a Jon Lord solo record from 1974 is another unknown Prog Gem. |

I've listened to both albums extensively during the seventies and believe me both deserve to remain "undiscovered!" I think the word "dated" could have been invented for Taliesyn !! -------------

Dated is not negative to me, Taliesyn has some real moments , so does Shades of... and their third eponymous album. Sarabande is actually excellent contrarily to other Lord solo albums |

Great album, LOVE it. It perhaps has one foot in a prog-ish approach, but not purely prog to my ears. Deep Purple are a great, sometimes sublime hard rock band who every now and then would steer toward prog but always maintained their hard rock focus. Sorta like Uriah Heep. ------------- ...it is real...it is Rael... |

Part of 60's progressive music scene, no doubt. But amongst the first of the heavy rock bands by the time of In Rock - hence considering their complete and legit record catalogue, there is not enough to qualify as progressive rock. The album perhaps should join Wishbone's Pilgrimage and Argus in the special section we are promised. |

I love DP, and consider the three Evans/Simper albums to be quite prog
... certainly DP back then shared a lot of similarities with Vanilla
Fudge who also re-arranged pop staples in a progressive way ... Anthem
(with it's bona fide classical section), The Shield and River
Deep Mountain High are probably the most prog moments ... although I
consider the epic April on DP's third album to be the song most likely
to appeal to proggers ...

I would'nt go as far as saying MK1 purple were prog,i could have accepted them as a kinda prog if it wer'nt for cover versions..''River deep mountain high'' did this album for me,really spoiled it..my vote would then go to the self titled ''Deep purple album'' i think this was Rod at his best... Even though the Mk.2, Ian Gilan is a superb heavy rock singer i think i still prefer Rod Evans as there original singer..

| From Deep Purple`s oiginal line-up I only have listened to two songs: "Hush" and "I`m so Glad". "I`m So Glad" has a very good Prog Rock arrangement. Jon Lord plays some parts from some classical music pieces in his organ, in the introduction of the song. |

As Jon Lord acknowledges ( and Its A Beautiful Day reminds) aka Bombay Calling, and before then a composition by J S Bach - which, I can't remember? |

This was also the case with Lazy from Machine Head: came from It's A beautiful Day's second album's opening track Don and Dewey. |
