Its cool but I definitely dig In Rock more, some of fav production ever.. Havent jammed any Deep Purple in a minute Fireball and Burn got awesome albums covers yo :datass:

don’t really care for Burn that much. Fireball got a sexy riff

just plain old good music

i didnt want to include any metal, master of reality and rust in peace prob would have made it

Machine Head is great but I dont like Smoke on the Water and Maybe Im a Leo that much

Child in time a top 10 metal song of the ‘70s

Smoke on the Water overplayed but I still f*** with it.

very borderline, and child in time definitely a metal song. if it was itd be top 5 of 70s

i kinda feel like counting Deep Purple In Rock as a full on metal album discounts its influence on hard rock. its basically the prototypical hard rock style. if its metal and not 'proto-metal' then so is Uriah Heep, Atomic Rooster, Buffalo, Montrose, etc and that just feels wrong.

and we were talking rock in a more traditional sense, didnt want to include MoR the most purely metal and least hard rock of all the Sab albums

One of my fav Blackmore solos

You know who does get enough credit for pioneering hard rock? Cream and Hendrix

real ones give them credit

real ones also give credit to Cream for basically being the first rock "jam" band

Joke right? They get all the credit. Yardbirds and Kinks more like

Where would hard rock be without Dave Davies and Jeff Beck :mystery:

this scene <3

Didn’t Van Halen cover the kinks on the first album?

How much more credit do you need?

Yardbirds trash. I don’t know why you cape for them so much

y i k e s

shut up b**** u listen to music that sounds like u sleep with a night light on

:word: this is your hottest take in a while. they were the hardest band of '65-'66 objectively.

you really think the widely acclaimed unanimous goat hendrix doesnt get enough credit? dave is not a household name so yeah

Yawnfest

alright Phil you didn’t NEED to prove your glaring whiteness but i appreciate you having the courage to do so

Made in Japan is Deep Purple's best album. It even made me like Lazy.

yeah i'd put it in the top 3
