I would like to give some love to recent albums. Not a massive Purple fan really and hard rock was never my scene so to be taken with a pinch of salt (and will not have any real impact on the result!)

1) =1
2) Whoosh!
3) InFinite
4) In Rock
5) Burn
6) Fireball
7) Machine Head

i.e all the Mk I and Mk II stuff - chuck in 'Concerto for Group & Orchestra" and 'Made in Japan' and I'm quite content.

Burn is a real nostalgic favorite for me.  Every time I hear it, it takes me back, I feel like a kid ready to cause trouble (but not get caught).  LOL

Come Taste the Band deserves a little more love, IMO. This Time Around / Owed to G is so good. It's interesting that the album is aging well where the 70's isms were disliked in the 80/90s now are just historic.
You are quite a fine person, and I am very fond of you. But you are only quite a little fellow, in a wide world, after all.

Not sure I could pick 7 by Purple...I own the first 4 on old vinyl because I collect early prog and rock on vinyl.
I play the 1969 ST one  and In Rock now and then for the early proto prog sound/feel but I don't care for their brand of  hard rock on the later ones...an unpopular stance I'm sure.  Stern Smile
