Texas King Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 I thought Machine Head would be considered Purple's landmark album. Machine Head is more commercially successful, but In Rock has a bigger musical impact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HemiBeers Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 DP easily. Never was much of a BOC fan. Godzirra and Reaper are the only BOC songs that I can even think of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

treeduck Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 Purple for the clean sweep. Uriah Heep vs. BOC?I'd go with Uriah Heep. I think they've had good albums in the 70's, 80's 90's and the newer recent stuff is really good as well. BOC's best stuff is mostly in the 70's, I think there might be a couple of decent ones after Fire of Unknown Origin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Entre_Perpetuo Posted May 5, 2020 Author Share Posted May 5, 2020 I thought Machine Head would be considered Purple's landmark album. I prefer it, but In Rock is cited in many articles and lists as more significant and better. Not sure why but I went with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Three Eyes Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 (edited) I'm not that familiar with the listed albums so I didn't vote. But based on radio hits and a few album cuts, I go with BOC 100%. They're just more nuanced and artistic which is what I generally prefer in a band. That's not to say they're more influential than Deep Purple though. There aren't many bands more influential than DP. Edited May 5, 2020 by Three Eyes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I prefer it, but In Rock is cited in many articles and lists as more significant and better. Not sure why but I went with it. Not sure how it would be considered more significant when it doesn't have three of the bands most well known songs and sold quite a bit less than Machine Head. In Rock might be more enjoyable musically but it doesn't have the wider impact Machine Head does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Rock might be more enjoyable musically but it doesn't have the wider impact Machine Head does. Sites I've read praising it claim it's the moment when Deep Purple really found their iconic sound and changed the game rock hard rock and heavy metal as well. I listened to it once or twice a few weeks ago, but was kind of put off by the rudimentary production style. Then again I've had Made In Japan for ages and I've always loved the live version of Child In Time, so I'm not sure the studio cut had much of a chance against it, and that may have influenced my perception of the rest of the album. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
driventotheedge Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 I like BOC, always have. But DP are one of my top 10 or 15 all-timers. Purple sweeps. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozzy85 Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 I do like some Purp. Especially Coverdale era stuff. But I love BOC. I really like that you put up Secret Treaties... great. I go with the Cult Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
