I'll start the bloodletting & vote for something OTHER than In Rock, which is a very good album.

My choice is Machine Head, not for Smoke on the Water, but for everything else. Highway Star, Maybe I'm A Leo, Lazy, Space Truckin'.  To me, this was the natural follow-up to In Rock. I've always liked this album.

Honorable Mention to Perfect Strangers - another pretty good piece of work from the boys.

I got to see them live in Germany in 1986 & they could still rock!

"In Rock" - but only just ahead of "Made in Japan", which is also stunning.

Made in Japan.  Even though Purple isn't prog...

And, I love Smoke on the Water

smoke on the water is a boring hard rock song, with a crap bass line and one of Mr Gillans most mediocre singing performances ;)

For me The Book of Taliesyn, because it is very pshychedelic/progressive. Anthem and River Deep Mountain High are superb.

Studio wise I'd have to second the vote for "In Rock."  This release accompanied me on many a church youth group meeting as a child.  The other youngsters thought I was crazy. Fair to say the youth group meetings didn't last long.  Otherwise the vote would go to "Made In Japan."  Many a night my friend Mark and I would get stoned and listen to all four sides of the double vinyl.  Great memories.  Why is everything so much better as a youngster?  I guess everything is so new then.  Deep Purple used to blow me away.  Now I've turned to the Italian scene for a fresh take on prog and I am still blown away at times.  Just fewer and further between now.  I am also getting into the Spanish prog scene and Polish prog scsene for a fresh take on it.

Yeah, and it's hard to understand why Hawkwind, Uriah Heep, Kate Bush, ELO or Death (just for a few examples) are Prog, but they're here, so consider them Prog-Related.

Oh wait...

That's exactly how Deep Purple are classified

Made in Japan, although te best album for me is "Live in Paris"; it's one of the last performances before Blackmore leaving and it's terrific, although little known.

Actually "Made in Japan" & "In rock" are very good, but my vote goes for "Shades of Deep Purple" just because it was the very first "prog album" I bought !

"Machine Head" is the quintessential Purple album.
