Best of the 70's: Machine Head by Deep Purple

As I said about In Rock the reason you get Deep Purple is for their influence on heavy metal.  Machine Head is their classic release and so it comes in at number 54 on the Best of the 70's list.  In some ways I think you can feel the heavy metal influence better on In Rock, but Machine Head is by far their best album and of course it has "Smoke On the Water" a classic of the 70's.

If you want to kick out the jams then throw this one on you won't be disappointed.  It feels a bit dated, but songs like "Highway Star" will always sound vibrant.

Following the Rhapsody rating method I give it 2 out of 5 stars for Not Bad.
