Another, increasingly irrelevant post from El Dingo: Head Machine were so favoured by the DJ at Dagenham (not Chalk Farm) Roundhouse in the 70s that Orgasm was standard fare before any headliner's act. Including Rory Gallagher, Thin Lizzy, Hawkwind, Man and the Fairies. Scattering Seeds was also played too. Yes there was no subtle innuendo and the pseudo sexual content was explicit but it rocked and at the time we loved it. I still have it on tape, listen to it (very) occasionally and would love to know why Heep are prog and Head Machine are not. Maybe only Ken Hensley could tell me?
It's not that I can't find worth in anything, it's just that I can't find worth in enough.

I'm sure you haven't heard Lovehunter and Ready an' Willing, and if you have you should definitely realise that these albums are highly recomended for Deep Purple fans from MK 3 and 4. If you haven't heard them, please don't bash the band just for their junky side of the 80's.
It would be like bashing Genesis or Yes just considering their 80's albums, and that would be so mistaken.
 
oh good grief, Cacho....Confused
 
You can't have been brought up liking Rock music in the UK, and be of a *certain* age without having heard Whitesmake's discography...truly inescapable, and yes, I've heard it all at one time or another and owned most of it, even though I admit they were never a favourite of mine...Embarrassed
 
I said absolutely nothing about them in relation to whether they would be enjoyed by fans of DP Mk 3 or not (and yes, I see an argument for Trouble, Lovehunter & R&W containing some of the bluesy progressiveness of Burn & Stormbringer, but with a generally harder edge) ...only that as a band, their discography cannot be considered as being 'progressive'.
 
But, all that is besides the point, because what I wouldn't want to see is for the initial idea behind this thread being subverted to become an debate on the possible progressiveness of generally accepted non-prog bands, which have had a terrific amount of exposure and album sales over the past 30 years.  It would be a pointless waste of an opportunity.
 
my (obviously misinterpreted) quip about Coverdale was a suggestion that there are many other, newer bands out there, which truly fit into the HP category, which certainly could do with the exposure.  And if a thread entitled 'Heavy Prog (and related) appreciated thread' isn't the place for that to happen, then I really don't know where, on this godforsaken forum, such a place can exist...Confused
 
Right, that's truly enough on Whitesnake...Tongue
Music has always been a matter of energy to me. On some nights I believe that a car with the needle on empty can run 50 more miles if you have the right music very loud on the radio. Hunter S Thompson

Well, David, think of what a splash we would've made by adding both Hard Meat and Head Machine.... HP would've definitely become PA's most X-rated subgenreLOL!

While the "discussion" with Fandango(Jared) isn't. From what you said, he should have known more than me, saying that Whitesnake is highly recomendable for Deep Purple fans from MK 3 and 4, talking about their early era, which Raff talked well. And I was just supposing that he hadn't heard them, and even I said if HE HAS he must know they're highly recomendable, etc, etc...

Anyways, listening to Octavarium, not heavy Prog but sort of When it's finished I'll grab Demons & Wizards
 
Yes, Whitesnake are for DP MK III and MK IV fans... Also because DP's 'Come Taste The Band' is the first Whitesnake album (for style).
 
But I think that Rainbow (because first 4 albums are HP) and Ian Gillan Band (3 studio and 1 live album in totally Jazz Prog Rock field) are better for a Progster!

*wags finger at you*bad move brother... Jared has been listening to this stuff since your parents were kids Pablo.  Never assume that a member.. and especially a a collab who gain collab status since they tend to know music pretty well....  speak on groups and albums if they haven't heard them.  The quickest way to look the fool is to shoot your mouth off and you haven't heard it.  don't mistake not agreeing with not having heard....   you wouldn't do that to Raff now would you.. trust me.. she has hard them all...LOL

OK, guys, I love those Whitesnake albums, but I think that
calling them even Prog-Related is a stretch. Though they're great
records in the great  British hard-blues tradition,their level of
progressiveness is next to nil, in my humble opinion.

I just wanted to give advice on good collectible album!


They're good recommendations! Clap

Today I will purchase 'Freelance fiend\Too many rock'n'roll times' (7" single from 2005). It is not the maximum but... I am sure that I like it. It is a live single!
 
Then I will know what I will think about Leaf Hound!
