Rainbow by default (eventually the double live Whitesnake a distant second and Gillan's Budokan third)

For the next three (maybe 5), it will be Purple

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

That Rainbow album is a solid four-star, which is more than good enough to get my vote in this company

Another slam dunk with Rainbow.

But let me state for the record that Jon Lord's Before I Forget is excellent, and here's one key reason why.

I do have a bit of a soft spot for the Concerto - it was an interesting experiment in fusing rock with the classics (almost a counterpoint to the way the Nice/ELP also experimented in this vein), tho by no means perfect, but Lord would pursue further such fusion experiences on his solo works.

Long Live Rock & Roll was also in the third Deep Purple poll when it should have been the live On Stage album instead, so Long Live Rock & Roll has a second lease of life by default. Smile

Rainbow. I do own that Cozy Powell album but it's a bit sad compared to previous solo releases.

Rainbow, though this list does look a lot like my teenage friends album collection

The Concerto even tho it was experimental and doesn’t quite work as a perfect classical/rock crossover, but is interesting nonetheless.
