Rainbow by default (eventually the double live Whitesnake a distant second and Gillan's Budokan third)

For the next three (maybe 5), it will be Purple 
let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword

That Rainbow album is a solid four-star, which is more than good enough to get my vote in this company

Rainbow > Future Shock
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

Another slam dunk with Rainbow.

But let me state for the record that Jon Lord's Before I Forget is excellent, and here's one key reason why.

I do have a bit of a soft spot for the Concerto - it was an interesting experiment in fusing rock with the classics (almost a counterpoint to the way the Nice/ELP also experimented in this vein), tho by no means perfect, but Lord would pursue further such fusion experiences on his solo works.
Is it any wonder that the monkey's confused?

Long Live Rock & Roll was also in the third Deep Purple poll when it should have been the live On Stage album instead, so Long Live Rock & Roll has a second lease of life by default. Smile

Rainbow. I do own that Cozy Powell album but it's a bit sad compared to previous solo releases.
