Deep Purple - Machine Head

What else is there to say? If there were only 10 albums chosen to represent hard rock/heavy metal, ""Machine Head"" would be one of them (and arguably at the top of the list). Blackmore's screaming guitar, Lord's monstrously overdriven organ, a powerhouse rhythm section and Ian Gillan at the peak of his vocal powersthis was a recipe for explosive success, and that is exactly what happened. Here's Deep Purple's 1972 magnum opus, remastered on 180-gram vinyl, with download and a foldout poster with lyrics to ""Smoke on the Water,"" ""Space Truckin',"" ""Highway Star,"" ""Maybe I'm a Leo"" and more! Purple/Universal UK.

No hard rock or heavy metal collection can call itself complete without this 1972 masterpiece that cemented Purple's place in hesher history. This is the legendary lineup of Blackmore / Gillan / Glover / Lord / Paice and maximum volume is required for: ""Highway Star,"" ""Space Truckin',"" ""Lazy"" and more, including the immortal, ""Smoke On The Water.""
