44. Machine Head
(1971) - Deep Purple 90/100. Machine Head features two of the most popular tracks from Deep Purple - Highway Star and Smoke on the Water. Outside of those, this is a solid rock & roll album (often credited as a major influence of the heavy metal movement that would follow shortly). Pictures of Home is a great track musically and I can see how this track may have influenced the likes of Iron Maiden (who would come around a few years after this album was released). Also, Never Before has a nice groove thing going on. What can you say about Smoke on the Water besides it's one of the most popular guitar riffs of all time. Lazy is a great instrumental. Overall the whole thing is good. Listened: 1/21/11
