Machine Head is their best album for sure. But you know, for the most part I found Deep Purple to be overly heavy, pretentious, annoying and overrated. Just the nadir of lousy 70s heavy metal excess. There were way worse bands however and better metal bands. But I guess metal isn't my cup of tea. Zep's hard rock was preferable to me.
Sleep Purple weren't much more insightful or interesting than Black Sabbath, IMO. I liked Ozzy as a singer better and Tony Iommi's guitar is better than the Hendrix inclined, pseudo-classical shit of Richie Blackmore. But Deep Purple wrote better songs and had a killer rhythm section that made Sabbath sound like a tinny, high school band. Machine Head is the one album worth getting for general fans of hard rock and a hits collection is comprehensive too.
But there's too much junk I find, to wade through on stuff like Burn, When We Rock We Roll(?) that awful Concerto thing that Jon Lord composed, their other Lps (names escape me at the moment) and their early stuff ("Kentucky Woman" sucks but "Hush" is pretty sweet. My fave songs by them are "Smoke..." "Highway Star," "Space Truckin'," "Black Night," "Woman from Tokyo," "Hush," and "Demon's Eye." But gimme the Stones anyday over them!

Highway Star,
Space Truckin'
And, Smoke on the Water, with the Stones tie-in lyric
"We ended up at the grand hotel
It was empty cold and bare
But with the rolling truck stones thing just outside
Making our music there"
Brings me back to those golden days of yesteryear..
Yeah, the ones which had plenty of Tango, Maximus Super,
Acapulco Gold, Good Time Women..
Driving mad in a '70 Nova, eight track playa bangin out
The Hits~Stones, Zep, Alice Cooper, Rory Gallagher, Johnny Winter, J Geils, Deep Purple, et all...
Time to put the genie back in the bottle...
But, thanks for the 10 minute flashback with this thread..

Don't feel sad my friend.... no matter there's no genie of the bottle, you don't need to be nostalgic and sad about it..... it's up to you..... I only listen to all these heroes of the past every time I can.....queue those fuckers, line 'em up and raise the volume knob of your pick-up. (As long as they are not plastic knobs, which my buddy Fleabit despises).

For your information just in case you don't know
Before joining The Jeff Beck Group, Woody was the guitar player in a band "SANTA BARBERA MACHINE HEAD" a band with Jon Lord who later founded Deep Purple, so the term "Machine Head" is 100% stones related in some way
They recorded at least three tracks, and they were released officialy in this album
You can listen a track from this in our Nicky Hopkins website |

I have always liked Deep Purple, and have many of their albums&tapes(not many cd's, I liked them most pre-cd and not enough to get the cd's). Made In Japan is their best, it's live... I also like Perfect Strangers and Ian Gillan Band, too. |

I also like Perfect Strangers and Ian Gillan Band, too. They have a tune called "Painted Horse" that is awesome, I have it on some Japanese import tape(Powerhouse), here are the lyrics:
Painted Horse
Originally released on "Powerhouse" in 1977. Recorded during the "Who Do We Think We Are" sessions,
(Blackmore/Gillan/Glover/Lord/Paice)
Child on a painted horse
Streams that will run their course
Gone to a far away shore
Ooh, ooh, ah
My painted horse is weeping
Days of another kind
Frost gets a bruising vine
Why did the carpenter die
Ooh, ooh, ah
My painted horse is weeping
Sweet as a rose so fine
Peaceful as a final time
How old could the lion man cry
Ooh, ooh, ah
My painted horse is weeping
Thoughts of a winter moon
Warm in a distant room
Why did I fall asleep so soon
Ooh, ooh, ah
My painted horse is weeping
