Redpill me on Deep Purple, /mu/.
I've started listening to classic prog rock again and I noticed how fucking good they are.
What are some must-listen to songs and albums?
Child in Time and Speed King are my two favorite songs by them, at the moment.
Machinehead is an easy 9-10/10
Lazy is on of my all time favorite songs

Same here.
They released the greatest live album of all time.
>>71640439
Yeah. Great live album, but they do the Child in Time solo on the keys, not guitar, which is a letdown, but otherwise its essential classic rock at its peak
Everything from Shades of Deep Purple up to Burn is GOAT!
>After that disregard.

'Machine Head' is the very definition of a great album. All tracks are solid-really fucking exceptional and the best part? No obnoxious fillers. Definitely listen to the whole album, since it's merely 7 tracks long.
Favorites off the record:
Maybe I'm Leo
Lazy
Space Truckin'
and obviously Smoke on the Water

Never Before
But one of the better albums of all time nontheless

Prog Rock, what the fuck is wrong with you.

Machinehead and your pic are their best albums
They are all incredibly talented musicians, but somehow their songs are not that well-written and mostly its instrumental wankery. That is the reason I prefer Black Sabbath even if DP are all more talented.

if that's what you consider an "obnoxious filler", then it definitely is one of the better records out there.
>>71641470
Yeah, that was my point
>>71641464
BS start stoner rock

Lazy is one of the best prog rock songs by a band that's not prog rock.
And one of the best songs of all time too
>>71640027
their earlier stuff is pretty good
especially the self titled album with the Mark 1 line-up
one of my favorites
