Re: Band of the week, motherfuckers
Now you’re in the spirit, JaPaBo! Trust me on this one and pick up Burn–you will dig it. Another plus of it: Jon Lord very low in the mix…

After my last BOW debacle, I didn’t let your bad attitudes stop my current BOW — Deep Purple.
I’m still not sure how much I like them, and I think it is primary Jon Lord’s annoying organ playing that makes them sound more dated than either Sabbath or Zeppelin. Their first album was also largely psychedelic nonsense (released in 1968–before either of the others debut), with a few protometal rockers on display.
Thanks again for your thoughtful reply.
Now on to your main points of rebuttal. First, you make a very good point with your 1980s90s00s comment. I suppose you are right that we are products of our formative years in heavy metal, and therefore as things change over time, the more they by necessity stray from that starting point.
I know this is coming a bit late, but I never got a chance to put all my thoughts down. And hell, I still beat all of you fuckers!
How to sum up the decade with no name? Well, in the world of metal, it was the best of times, it was the worst of times.
