Machine Head

As soon as we hear the machine-gun beat of Ian Paice\'s drums on \"Highway Star,\" it\'s all over. We have to listen to all of *Machine Head* from beginning to end—it\'s just that good. This landmark album is an exultant hard rock classic for a good reason: It’s packed with chugging heavy metal moments, from the psychedelic vocal echo on \"Space Truckin\'\" to the mightiest of all guitar riffs on \"Smoke on the Water.\"
