'This Time Around/Owed To 'G' is pretty fantastic stuff, easily my favourite track from the album. The instrumental section is tops. Yes - when I first got 'Spectrum' and say Tommy's name I was excited indeed.
Quality albums! Yeah, they cover a lot of ground (love that solo in 'Stormbringer') even back when Evans was singing, some cool tracks on those early albums.
I might have to re-listen to Made In Japan, thanks Kazu! |

I remembered that John said that "Made in Japan "was an album with the elements of the jazz before. My memory may be wrong. Or I do not yet have that I ask about the real intention.

^wow, I'm really surprised you guys actually like those two Deep purple albums. Yes, they're not classics and they're not pure hard rock, but that's why I like them so much and the reason why I love Deep Purple, so many styles to find in their discography.
Come Taste the Band just blowed me away with Bolin's guitar and funky interludes. While Stormbringer just had killer soulish and funky tunes, Hughes and Coverdale were at their best, Blackmore does a fine job playing something off his territory.

I felt that "Love Don't Mean A Thing" and "Holy Man" were the music with the element of the R & B about "Stormbringer". And I felt "This Time Around/Owed To 'G' "about "Come Taste The Band" when a new trial and the part which evolved were included for a band in particular.
I think that solo album is good about the performance of Tommy Bolin. And I think that the performance that I performed is famous for an album of Billy Cobham for the fan of Tommy Bolin. |

Yes! Me too - I think that Hughes' singing added the R&B to the funk they were going toward too, with Stormbringer & Burn, but then 'Come Taste the Band' just got kinda grungy! Perhaps it's that guitar sound? The Dealer, kinda a sleazy sound and riff. I have only got the first two Ian Gillan Band albums, both are pretty good huh? - that reworking of Child in Time from the first album is interesting too |

"Come Taste the Band" and "Stormbringer" are underestimated. However, I feel that these albums are not bad. Probably Ritchie Blackmore would feel that "Stormbringer" was the worst as a guess. Little pop and an element of the R & B. And "Come Taste the Band" would not be established without existence of Tommy Bolin. On the other hand, I think that "Clear Air Turbulence" which Ian Gillan Band announced is predominantly superior jazz rock. I know that this album is favorite one of Pablo.

Isn't Come Taste the Band great! I feel it might just be underrated too? Despite all the Plant-isms from Coverdale, Bolin's guitar introduced some great changes on that album |

I think the problem with a lot of the fusion music is that it's extremely predictable, it's a rock rhythm and the solos all play the same stuff and they play it over and over again ...

three outstanding choices
 (I'm kind of excluding classical music from this list as well, because it mostly didn't come up in the "album" context)), but in case of Madredeus, I might have chosen ExistirEdited by Sean Trane - 13 Jan 2012 at 3:48am |

my music collection increased tenfolds when I switched from drug-addicted musicians to crazy ones....

Beatles, Abbey Road Bob Dylan, Blood On The TracksNeil Young, After The Gold Rush
The Rolling Stones, Sticky Fingers
Bruce Springsteen, Darkness On The Edge Of Town
The Who, Who's Next
The Doors, LA Woman
Pink Floyd, Dark Side Of The Moon
Willie Nelson, Stardust
Tom Waits, Heart Of Saturday Night
Plenty more where they came from but most I bought as a kid and those early albums are all masterpieces for me. Every Beatles album except Let It Be and Yellow Sub (Which in my opinion is not an album anyway) "dog's breakfast might be a good term for it" , I would slap on 5 stars immediately
The Beatles Rule
 "She loves you, yeah, yeah, yeah,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,what a musical masterpiece from a bloke who is still a kid when it comes to that band. I have never got over Beatlemania

Well, Brel like most "French" singers (he was Belgian, of course, but he's associated to French because the man was a lover of French language) before the 70's, he didn't really make "albums" proper - most his 50's and early 60's "albums" were released on 10" vinyls, (not 12"), which are kind of EP's with only 8 relatively short songs
He more or less stopped in 66 to concentrate on movies and opera (Man Of La Mancha - Don Quixote), then contracted lung cancer in 77... This Brel album (his only real "Album") dates from that time, recorded a few months before his death and released days before it.
It's like a testament.... really poignant songs, where he really unleashes his wraths on idiots (he always did, but here he was mercyless) of all kinds and sings his last throes...
So if you want to get another Brel at first (other than that album), you'd better get a "best of", which are generally indeed his best of.... Better yet, if you can find a live DVD, go for that.... to get an idea how formidable a performer he was

Yeah, I agree - Roy & Bungle are most definitely progressive (while not being 'classic prog') - perhaps I ought to have put 'classic' prog up in the title?
Some classics here especially, Sean: (on a related note, what did you think of 'Painkiller' by Judas Priest?) RHCP - SBSMagik Judas Priest - Sad Wings Of Destiny Ten Years After - Cricklewood Green (kind of psych-prog blues, but wtf) Jacques Brel sounds interesting - what other favourites of his do you have? I'm going to check out 'Brel' later tomorrow |
