Burn is a real nostalgic favorite for me.  Every time I hear it, it takes me back, I feel like a kid ready to cause trouble (but not get caught).  LOL

Come Taste the Band deserves a little more love, IMO. This Time Around / Owed to G is so good. It's interesting that the album is aging well where the 70's isms were disliked in the 80/90s now are just historic.
You are quite a fine person, and I am very fond of you. But you are only quite a little fellow, in a wide world, after all.

Not sure I could pick 7 by Purple...I own the first 4 on old vinyl because I collect early prog and rock on vinyl.
I play the 1969 ST one  and In Rock now and then for the early proto prog sound/feel but I don't care for their brand of  hard rock on the later ones...an unpopular stance I'm sure.  Stern Smile

I listened to Eric Clapton Unplugged for the first time today, but to be honest, I prefer it when he has his guitar plugged in. Smile

I discovered today that the three top-selling live albums of all time are 1. Eric Clapton Unplugged, 2. Garth Brooks Double Live, and 3. Peter Frampton Comes Alive, which really surprised me. Shocked

1 Machine Head
2 In Rock
3 Fireball
4 Deep Purple
5 Book of Taliesyn
6 Shades of Deep Purple
7 Who Do We Think We Are

i.e. all the Mk I and Mk II studio efforts - their music never interested me after that. If we were allowed to include live albums then Made in Japan would top my list!
