I’m literally reading your reply while listening to Highway Star off that album. It is easily not only the greatest car song ever, but that performance is next level rock playing. Someone said Blackmore’s guitar sounds like he’s playing with razor blades at the beginning of the Highway Star guitar solo on Made in Japan. Absolutely epic...and Ian Paice is under appreciated and a monster drummmer.

I will always pull out Child in Time and Strange Kind of Woman off Made in Japan to listen to. Gillan’s vocals, Blackmore’s solos, Paice’s drumming — classic rock.

I can’t count the times me and the boys drove around listening to that album.

That said, The Who would be my pick for all time rock group.

I caught Steve Morse, who subs with Deep Purple, last year with the Dixie Dregs. I've seen a lot of guitar players, he's the best.
