Top Ten Deep Purple Albums of the '70s
The Top Ten
1 Machine Head
My favorite Deep Purple song of the 70s is on this album - Highway Star. This song played an important role in metal creation. It was born on a tour bus when a reporter asked the band how they wrote songs. To demonstrate, guitarist Ritchie Blackmore grabbed an acoustic guitar and began playing a riff while singer Ian Gillan improvised lyrics over the top. The song was refined and performed that same night.
2 In Rock
I have never been able to choose between In Rock and Machine Head.
3 Burn
4 Fireball
5 Who Do We Think We Are
6 Made In Japan
Still one of the best live albums of all time.
7 Stormbringer
8 When We Rock, We Rock and When We Roll, We Roll
9 Come Taste the Band
10 Made in Europe
The Contenders
11 Last Concert in Japan
