 really...game set and match... no comparison. One is one of the greatest of all rock albums, the other is merely a very good album. ------------- The Pedro and Micky Experience - When one no longer requires psychotropics to trip |

I'm not kidding, but if these polls are so bad or pointless, I'll just stop then.  |

Don't be thin skinned man. Raff doesn't have a bad bone in her voluptuous body. Unlike me of course. Just having fun with some mock outrage.  ------------- The Pedro and Micky Experience - When one no longer requires psychotropics to trip |

And, of course, it would be far too painful if now some people must admit to themselves the truth that they weren't able as the young persons to feel that magical beauty and extravagance exactly in what they were perhaps considered, decades ago, as sh*t

Machine Head. Although both albums had a special place in my prepubescent descent into eventual rock madness. ------------- ...a vigorous circular motion hitherto unknown to the people of this area, but destined to take the place of the mud shark in your mythology... |

Is this a tag team affair with those two above,,,,,? If one is comparing overall album quality song by song then Machine Head, but Demons is proggier and has a better cover...on that level more entertaining. No vote yet..... ------------- One does nothing yet nothing is left undone. Haquin |

Yeah, I had difficulty choosing. As Wu can probably attest, these were two huge albums in '72, and if you loved one, you more than likely loved the other. "Easy Living" and "Smoke on the Water" were played on AM radio stations, and it was a great time to be 12 years old listening to rock albums.

Two huge albums indeed.....and even better if you were 21 and could drink and 'smoke' while enjoying them. ------------- One does nothing yet nothing is left undone. Haquin |

Highway Star, Smoke on the Water and Space Trucking are brilliant, for sure. But the trouble is, the whole of Demons and Wizards is.

Both are great, but Machine Head is DP's best. ------------- A GREAT YEAR FOR PROG!!! |

This one is tough. Although DP's Machine Head is brilliant, Demons and Wizards has a special place in my heart (it was the first real UH LP I put my own hands on). More to it DaW is fabulous record (maybe UH best). So in the end Heep wins. -------------

Good polls Cristi, all those UH vs DP. Thumbs up!  I pick Machine Head, because Demons and Wizards can't win with Highway Star, Pictures of Home or Lazy. Those three tracks and Space Truckin are top notch, while D&W is "just good". Paradise / The Spell is nice and all, but not THAT exciting. It's not a landslide, but I'm sure my opinion won't change on this one in foreseeable future

Frankly....I have never been all that impressed with either band ('Blackmood's' guitar playing excepted)....Both have had some good radio friendly hits and a few longer decent album tracks but I never had them in my personal top tier levels. btw....I think I told this story before but one reviewer in the original Rolling Stone Record Guide called Uriah Heep 'a mutant version of Deep Purple'. ------------- One does nothing yet nothing is left undone.

| I think here I have to abstain from voting. We have a Heep album that is a masterpiece almost start to finish vs my favourite Purple record that in the moments, has the unmatched motor-energy. |

Heep's best for me - but most albums would struggle against Machine Head (even if the live versions on Made in Japan trumped many). So another vote for Purple ------------- Living in their pools, they soon forget about the sea. |
