If you don't take David Coverdale's lyrics into account (which is easy to do), the title track and "Might Just Take Your Life" can both singlehandedly lay waste to everything the other two bands ever accomplished.

BURN, by light years.

Argus from these three, but it's by far WA's best album (their first two follow, the rest....Ermm)

Burn is second on the list, but there are at least 4 Purple albums ahead of it

Treaties is by a margin BOC's best
let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword

Burn...

I'll be honest, I never really understood the hype around Argus

Argus is timeless and one of half a dozen albums I consider to be almost perfect.
Burn is pretty good but BOC do nothing for me.

Three non-prog albums that I love and still listen to sometimes. I think Argus is the one I prefer

Argus for me. 

Interesting that Argus was from 1972 the other two from 1974

A great trio of albums in their own way, which have been played to excess at times in the past. However, have to go for Wishbone Ash's finest moment on this one. Argus is timeless.

The truth is ..  they are the weak and I am tyranny of good tastes..but I'm trying hard.. I'm trying really hard Ringo to be the Sheppard

but I don't even if I did my pandemic afflicted lettuce the whole Jerry Curl thing, whipped out my 'bad motherf**ker' wallet and waved around my 50 AE (9mils are for pussies and Hollywood actors).. it wouldn't do any good

the people on this forum are beyond saving man..

Regarding Burn, I don't think it's a prog album, but I feel like it's a rock album that prog fans would really like if that makes sense. I kinda feel the same about the other two, though Argus is pretty darn progressive if you ask me.
