I do love em.
Machined Head 72 that was great big hairy mofo of a record.
I mean who doesn’t get Smoke on The Water?
C’mon , I mean really. It IS Rock n fucking roll.
Just ask Peter Hook or anyone who ever rocked a joint.
Or jointed up in rock.
Love looking at the Tree names and doing a where are they now thing.
Like Glenn Hughes? He is now “The Voice of Rock”, according to his official site, where a notifier thing flashes up, soon as you hit it, for a new Live in Wolverhampton CD, the hometown of Slade legend Dave Hill and Led Zep singer Robert Plant.
So quite some rock history to be mined there.
Mind I am not sure how to put links so you will have to Google and see more about Glenn if you care or dare.
Tell Glenn we sent cha.
N You all come back now, y’hear?
I cantbut wonder , genealogically : is there a way of drawing a family tree tracing a link between Glenn and Howard?
Rock Family Trees 
Great post!! I do love strange cover versions. In fact I’m sad enough to have an iTunes playlist of ‘unlikely covers’. Like Kathryn Williams doing All Apologies. Although I prefer the list of ‘originals’ when a cover version is much better know. For example, to keep up the Nirvana theme, Leadbelly’s Where Did You Sleep Last Night?
And here is a question for Deep Purple appreciators. What is your second favourite track on Machine Head? I mean, we all had it, and played it till it wore through. But can you remember anything except Smoke On The Water?
