Thanks! A first place (6 point) vote always helps to give a song a bump up the Top 5 charts.

Yay, glad I helped Hard Lovin' Man make the top five Paul. It's an amazing track with a relentless galloping bass and drums rhythm (I've always thought they took this from Rondo by the Nice), snarling Hammond, a great guitar solo and Gillan's banshee wails.

Okay here is my take. 5. Burn File it under GOAT Openings in Rock. If anyone had doubts whether DP will survive Gillan and Glover departures, here's the answer... 4. Fools Maybe a favorite track from criminally underrated Fireball. Everyone is hating on Anyone's Daughter, but nobody takes notice of fantastic B side, with Fools leading the charge. In terms of atmosphere, it's one of their best ever. What a shame the band moved away from Fireball material rather quickly. 3. Hard Lovin' Man Deep Purple In Rock is intense AF, at least by 1970 standards, and this song drives the point home. 2. Highway Star Pace, vitriol, rock. If 1 out of 10 "rock" bands had this much cojones, the world would be a better place. 1. Child in Time It has to be somewhere up here, huh? It's simply a sensational tune, one of rock defining moments. I have a soft spot for Deep Purple's formative years as well as 1980s, up to The Battle Rages On..., but after Blackmore's departure they lost much appeal. I mean, this whole band is about Blackmore and how his riffs/leads/solos coalesce with Jon Lord's amazing sound and Paicey artillery barrage. That's why Burn is much more interesting than anything from Morse era. Sorry! |

I hate smoke on the water too, but only if my boat catches fire.

Made In Japan, though a great Live album, I find is overated.
The MkI line-up is my favourite, though Gillan and Glover added more fuel to the uncontrollable fire. It fizzled out a bit with Coverdale / Hughes. |

Thanks! I like all three Deep Purple line-ups, and it's the first line-up that appeals to me most of all. The Shades of Deep Purple album and the self-titled third album are top of my list to acquire next.

PP, if you've heard Taliesin and liked it, than Shades Of and their third s/t are the way you should go first , because they're the prime reasons why Purple is on ProgArchives. Indeed, those years with Simper & Evans (usually refered to as MkI) are their proggier works. I suggest that for the MkII line-up (Gillan & Glover), you can first check out the live Made In Japan or the studio In Rock For the Mk III line-up, (Coverdale & Hughes), the live Made In Europe will be a good introduction to that era
