Texas King Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 What is your pick between these albums of one of the most important hard rock bands? In Rock is No 1 for me(one of the best albums in rock history IMO), but Machine Head, Made in Japan and Burn are close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Your_Lion Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 I love both In Rock and Machine Head, but I'm going to have to give the nod to Burn 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treeduck Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 I'm listening to Made in Japan right now coincidentally... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treeduck Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 (edited) I think my personal favourite these days is Burn but I think one reason for this is I didn't listen to it for about a decade (the 90's) and I've always kept the Gillan era ones on (at least) some kind of rotation or semi-rotation. So Burn is kind of fresher in my mind. It's really close though between the first three Gillan albums and Burn. I really like Stormbringer, Perfect Strangers and Come Taste the Band as well.

ReRushed Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 I love Fireball. It's my favorite Deep Purple album. There's a lot of love for Burn on this forum. It will probably win this poll. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rod in Toronto Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 (edited) We should have a thread to rank their albums with Steve Morse on guitar Edited February 15, 2017 by Rod in Rio 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick N. Backer Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 Burn. Come Taste the Band is second, followed by Stormbringer. I'm a Coverdale guy. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stormtron Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 Burn. Then Stormbringer, followed by In Rock. Prefer Gillan's vocals but like the Coverdale albums more. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vaportrailer Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 Fireball is a great recording. Fun, varied, and killer performances. No love for "Shades of DP"? Ian Paice rocks hard on that one, and sounds like Mitch Mitchell at times. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boots Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 I love this track. It's very haunting, musically and lyrically. The guitar is so HEAVY. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

treeduck Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 Ian Gillan says he's never listened to Burn or Stormbringer or Come Taste the Band, he says it'd be like listening to recording of his ex-wife having sex with some other guy.

thirteen Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 So hard to decide but in the end: 1. Perfect Strangers.2. Fireball3. In rock + Machine head tied for third place. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
