Locomotive is the perfect illustration of my point
For 6.5 minutes it's as good as anything they ever wrote. Ripper riff, great vocal track, cool chorus, shredding solo.
And then we get a 2 min piano breakdown that sucks. Cut the song at 6.5 it's unreal

Very Layla & Epic style.

This was pretty bad. The narration communicated very little in the time, and their access to the top session musicians of the era produced nothing - they gave them sound bites at best. Hyper-editing of musical geniuses, with multiple grammy awards, to get "Steely Dan were good."
British TV is so fucking bad now.

Bath time music, candles on.... And relax!

Saw the Modern Maori Quartet last night. Not a long show but entertaining.

Can I suggest that all ferners have a listen to this brilliant album.
A great soundtrack to accompany anything in life.....working out, doing the dishes, drinking, fornicating, doing the lawns, paperwork, sitting through uninvited guests, driving......as Pharrell says....."Scuse me I'm talking to you !!!"

@MN5 to be fair, most people would battle to name another Deep Purple song (I personally love Highway Star, but that's hardly an obscure choice)
I certainly don't agree with that, "Black Night" "Women from Tokyo" "Speed King" "Hush" "Space Truckin"......every one a staple on rock radio.
Definitely not in the Led Zep stratosphere but they were a fucken massive group.
Richies guitar work in "Highway Star" is absolutely exceptional.
Just skimming through this thread.
Highway Star used to be my ringtone. Deep Purple's best song is Child In Time but they have a ton of great songs. Their post 2000 releases are decent too.

Excellent guitarist, excellent rhythm section, so so vocalist, some classic numbers.
I want you to want me (live at the Budokan) is on my all time playlist.
Maybe I should listen to deeper tracks.Heaven Tonight and Dream Police would be a good place to start. These are the albums released either side of Budokan. Robin Zander is an excellent lead singer.
I was listening to Cheap Trick's most recent album (We're All Alright!) this week. Plenty of catchy tunes.

Child in time would be their November Rain/Stairway to Heaven in an ideal world but its one that most casual rock fans haven’t heard. Others of theirs I love in no particular order are Flight of the Rat ( love Richies work in this ), Living Wreck, You fool no one, Burn, Mandrake Root, Bird has flown, Demons Eye, Fireball, Never Before, Perfect Strangers and No one Came.
I haven’t heard much post 1993 let alone 2000 that has impressed me much to be honest but Steve Morse has lasted ages and is obviously doing a great job.
