Machine Head is one of the best rock albums of all time, imho. I enjoy Deep Purple, but for me, while their catalog is deep it’s not quite as strong as other favorites such as Zeppelin and Floyd. They don’t really take me to that next level consistently.

I agree that Zep and Floyd do have a stronger overall catalog, and shorter as well, but their highest points are pretty much on the same level as these other bands highest points too. DP was pretty much a "1 album a year" band, which I think led to some albums having some filler that shouldn't be there.

Also, maybe another point to why their live albums sold so well too. You could just get all the singles in a single packaging. See: Made In japan
