 Topic: Deep Purple - The most Prog song
Posted: July 26 2010 at 15:42 |
Excuse me, but I own every DP albums, but all ones after Perfect Strangers I really donīt listening, because itīs stodgy for me. And I never trust these albums contains any Prog ever.
By the way, my favourite DP album is Fireball, partly because it was my first one.
EDIT: adding "April"

Although Lazy is one of my favorite songs of theirs, it is not progressive at all. It's a just a twelve bar blues with some really good soloing. I haven't heard enough of the songs on this list to vote, but it's probably Child in Time.

The Concerto for me, though specifically Movement 1, for me that's pure brilliance, though some consider it pure crap, hehe.

Child In Time is excellent without doubt but for me itīs a chest-nutty song in some respect ...

Sorry, I voted other to add "April" and when it refreshed the page you had already added it as a choice. So consider my other vote as one for "April".

I voted for child in time. I just realised April existed (found it on youtube after reading this thread) and am astonished on how close DP came to classical music. April is friggin astounding!

I have to jump on the April bandwagon. I considered the Concerto for Group and Orchestra, but April functions as a song in the classic sense. Besides, it is expansive yet contained. A concerto, of course, is another beast altogether. I guess this means April wins on a technicality.

I find their lyrics to be annoying. Even the songs "Burn" and "Stormbringer" where they attempt to be errie. The style of rock lyrics reminds me of a fall down drunk. "Highway Star" the version from Machine Head or Live In Japan is a hellish work out physically. The center section of H.S. on the Machine Head recording for example. The keyboard solo lifting classical ideas from a centuries old composer. Ian Paice sounds like a jazz drummer playing rock, and Blackmore is keen to combine blues playing to classical and jazz. I mean musically.......they were just amazing! There entire musical background...Lord, Paice, and Blackmore is fascinating. Roger Glover who I know little about, released an instrumental album titled "Elements". It's comparable to any outstanding Passport or Soft Machine title. Amazing guys! Especially some of the early black and white film footage recorded in Europe. "Highway Star" is not on the list for voting purposes. Sorry I went off thread.

Haven't heard Concerto yet, but for me it's Fools.
Also very progressive are Fireball, No One Came, April, Mandrake Root (Made in Japan at the end of Space Truckin'), Child in Time ...

Oh yeah, another song that seems to be overlooked alot, Sail Away off the Burn album.

Dang, this is a pretty one-sided poll. "Child In Time," of course.

I did not vote. It seems silly to me that most voters chosed their most loved song although it is quite clear that it is not very progressive. Child in time is a great song indeed but April and the concerto are much more progressive and progier for sure.

Child in Time is one of their simplest structured songs.......a majority of the song is just a two chord progression.....how is this their most progressive? I like the song, but it's sure as hell not their most progressive.

I wouldn't call 'Sail Away' Prog at all, it just has a couple of synths.

Don't get the whole Child In Time Thing. A soft bit, development and organ soloing do not a prog song make.
(and given how reliably it was explained to me that Telegraph Road doesn't count in one of the Dire Straits suggestion threads, I resent this)
Anyway, never saw the point of these kinds of threads (what is the most brownie-like cake?). Carry on.
