to me the last art album was deep purple in rock. Then the downhill slide into bubblegum. Child in Time played at full volume was pretty good.

Disagree
Box, you gotta look at it as a period piece. A snapshot, if you will, of where metal (or "hard rock" as was referred to at the time) was at the time of its recording. Yeah, its got a lotta "hits" on it...and the material doesn't compare with "Book of Talesyn", but I agree with lincoln that its definately a fine piece of vinyl (which one of these days, I'll get around to converting to CD).
And, yeah, you gotta play it LOUD!

The album was live
So how could they have used it as a fill-in track?
Besides 'Smoke' is on my list of one of the 5 "all-time greatest Rock songs of all time". Not because it was a stunning piece of music--it wasn't--it's a 70's 3-chord special. Howver, it makes the list because it is a song that everybody recognizes (witness the car commercial where only the first 4 notes are played...everybody recognizes it, even my rock-hating wife); it is quintessentially Rock'n'Roll (with capital letters), and just about every punk kid who's ever picked up an electric guitar instinctively, and irresistably, sooner or later slams out the chords to it. They simply can't help themselves. That's why its on my list.
For the record, I don't particularly like the song either....

Ok...just stop it right there gents.
Made in Japan happened to be recorded during the tour for Machine Head...and as such was an advert for that very album. They were both released in 72...Machine Head early and Made in Japan towards Christmas
Dissing Smoke on the Water is impossible if you intend to keep your Rock roots intact. Oh sure, 30 years later if ranks with Stairway, Freebird and the remaining list of "songs you've heard so many times that your head may explode the next time it comes on the radio"...but what the hell do you think put it on that list in the first place?
Deep Purple was >far< from commercial when the song was cut. What did they have but a couple marginal radio cuts in Burn, Hush, Kentucky Woman, My Woman from Tokyo. You could call them anything >but< commercial at the time. Beatles, Stones, Who...they were the establishment...this hard rock stuff (including Zeppelin) was just coming on (it had been around since 68-9 but wasn't real popular)...in fact people thought that Stairway was the coolest right about that time...it was a long song that they actually played on the radio...and it had been out about 3 months...but Rock and Roll and Black Dog were the songs getting the most play.
They needed a track to fill out the album...and it was common to write during sessions at that time. And the recording sessions for Machine Head were...um...anything BUT a sunday jaunt in the park...and they were described in the words to the song...They ended up at the Grand Hotel using the Rolling Stones Mobile Studio...which had to be rushed down due to the demise of the real studio.
Too commercial?? In hindsight maybe...at the time...no way...it was Deep Purple's breakthrough...and its a defining song of Rock music.

Breakthru or breakup?
they were on their 2nd frontman and bassist at that point, the band itself had played the Royals with Deep purple in concert with the London Philharmonic, they were freakin HUGE as artists, that album was the commercial crossover, they already had the name for the skill but not the top 40, put that album out and Lord and Blackmore split the difference into Rainbow and purple. So did they go bubblegum for the money in that album? yes. Should Smoke be on an all time best list yes for the reasons that jb and beep put out.

One of those bands ....
...that was defined by a moment...that that was the moment. That lineup will be "Deep Purple" for most...
Ian Gillan (the screamer), Jon Lord, Ritchie B, Ian Paice and Roger Glover.
Gillan left and came back a few times...and they had some real interesting fill-ins...
Coverdale and Joe-Lynn Turner as singers (didn't work for me)
Tommy Bolin, Joe Satriani (satchmo) and Steve Morse (most recent) as fill-ins for Blackmore.
The real core though...Paice, Glover(from 2nd lp) and Lord...have held the band together for better or worse (mostly worst once Blackmore decided he wanted to not deal with it anymore)

..from impossible! fireworks virtuosity to bel canto - on trumpet or on the fluegel - simply, akin to Rostropovich or Yo Yo Ma. Yes - he plays cello concerti on a fluegel as you have never heard before.
A perfect antidote to standard manic cel-fone days of 0-content signifying Nothing, but stealing energy from the Lifeforce to feed bizness-fog.

Nope, but it probably would have been an ideal career.
She loves hearing live music and saw lots and lots of bands in Boston in the late '70s to mid '80s. She went to grad school in Austin, TX in the mid '80s to early '90s. She's got an amazing memory for things she likes too. She really appreciated this topic - it reminded her that there's a lot of good music she likes that she hasn't listened to in years.
She still talks about how much fun it was going to see bands at The Rat in Boston and Liberty Lunch in Austin. She gets misty-eyed when she talks about them being gone. :-(
So either being a DJ or a music critic would have probably been an ideal career based on her interests, but it didn't turn out that way. At least not yet. :-)
We'll be going to see X tonight, and she and her sister will be seeing The (formerly Grateful) Dead next week. It should be fun.
Cheers,
Scott.

Led Zep - IV (aka Zoso)
Peter Gabriel - Secret Worlds (live); "Shakin' the Tree" alone is worth the price of admission.
[The edit starts here:]
Dire Straits - Making Movies
Jethro Tull - Stand Up
AC/DC Back in Black (sounds odd, but no mater what song I hear from that album, I find my self switching off from air-bass to air-drums indiscriminately, without excetpion)

Jethro Tull
Since you mentioned "Stand Up" it occurs to me that "Benefit" is at least as deserving--although part of this may be that the latter album, by that time nearly a year old, formed part of the soundtrack of my abortive but fondly-remembered freshman year in college, 1970-71. I have it on CD, but play it only seldom, not wishing to attenuate its extraordinarily evocative power.

The rolling in money,

Make no mistake, "Songs of the Wood" is good stuff.
But if you want to see that genre (what you interestingly called "medieval folk") done up right, find yourself a copy of Steeleye Span's "Below the Salt" or "All Around my Hat"
Marvelous!

Hey don't feel bad...
...Made the same mistake myself.
And you should have heard the self-righteous "corrections" I got over the phone when I was playing their stuff on the air.

I think it was Steeleye
I have Below the Salt somewhere, with the "big black CDs" that I can't conveniently play at this point. And it is Steeleye Span. Medievalish folk. Very nice.
