Their 1972 album "Machine Head" is one of THE MOST important albums in all of heavy metal and british rock. I wouldn't say the album's very well known, but 3 of the 7 songs are timeless rock anthems, they are:Highway Star, Space Truckin', and last, but certainly not least, the mother of all guitar riffs:"Smoke On The Water". The album is one of the best of all time. You just HAVE to listen to "Highway Star" to hear how awesome it is. Some also believe this song was the beginning of speed metal: I also wanna check out the stuff they did with David Coverdale, and I'd like to check out that album Ian Gillan did with Black Sabbath (1983's Born Again).

Fox King For A Couple Of Days Age: 35 Gender: - Posts: 3732	January 28th, 2007 at 02:55pm Hell yeah! I love the 1972 lineup. My favourite songs are Pictures of Home and Lazy. Machine Gun has got to be one of the most kickass albums ever made.

I got into them when i learned to play 'Smoke on the water' but had never heard the song, so i went and bought 'Deep Purplelatinum Collection' and it has a load of live tracks on and stuff and... yeah. Ish cool. I love 'Child in time' and 'The Battle Rages On'.
GD Addicts Anonymous Falling In Love With The Board Age: 33 Gender: Female Posts: 5896	February 13th, 2007 at 11:09am I love Smoke On The Water. We actually used the guitar riff for our radio play... it was kind of corny because it was supposed to be all pumped up because the guy was gonna murder his wife... but it was cool nonetheless. That's the only song I actually know by them.
