 Topic: Deep Purple is here to stay!
Posted: September 23 2005 at 05:38 |
At least I hope so! There was an asterisk which (probably) indicated the band was still under consideration, but two days later when I went into PA again, I saw the star was gone, and the rest of the discography was (rightfully) added!
and Machine Head quickly climbed up to "Masterpiece" status! even mr hassebabo hadn't considered it as prog! Now what do you think of that!!!
I also reviewed Machine Head, along with their eponymous 3rd album with 5 stars. (my review nick is black). I will definitely keep on writing new 5 stars reviews, at least for Taliesyn, Fireball, and In Rock!
Now comes the concerns:
1- I still believe Deep Purple should be included in a new subcategory such as "Heavy Prog Rock", or "Hard-Prog Rock", along with Uriah Heep, Kansas and Rush (and I'm sure there are plenty other similar bands), which will in turn save these bands from being lumped into the obscure "Art-Rock" category! Well, at least DP is not there, and I think it's the most convenient place for them to be among the progarchives current genres...
2- Is it not time to include the magnificent solo works of the highly-talented DP keyboardist now!?!?!? Even some of those who objected against Deep Purple admitted that Jon Lord's solo stuff were prog! Just Gemini Suite, Sarabande, and Before I Forget (and most probably Windows as well, unfortunately I haven't heard it yet) albums are enough to get him in!
please feel free to use this forum to discuss your fave DP (and Jon Lord) albums, aspects etc.! You may have limited time before it is removed (no offense, maani!)

Listen to Turkish psych/prog; you won't regret:
Baris Manco,Erkin Koray,Cem Karaca,Mogollar,3 Hürel,Selda,Edip Akbayram,Fikret Kizilok,Ersen (and Dadaslar) (but stick with the '70's, and 'early 80's!)

Congratulation Bilek! It looks like your DP dreams have come true. 
I agree with what you say about the Art Rock category. It seems like a dumping ground to me. Surely Rush deserve better than that!

Deep Purple are not a prog band, and their albums will be categorized as Proto-Prog (early albums) and Prog-Related (starting from In Rock).
BTW: Great Hard Rock band ... I have most of their albums!

This is for me the best live album in my collection

Made in Japan is cool ... The Mule, and the famous intro to Lazy - and of course Space Truckin'.

there's no way to determine who is right - we'll all have to listen for ourselves to find out. After all, we each have our own definition of "prog".

I really think there should be a prog-o-meter on each album to tell how prog it is...Forexample close to the edge is 90% prog

You not only haven't listened closely to Vai, but apparently also not to Queen II.
