Release date: 1970
Standing track: Child in Time
In Rock had all the makings of a great album. This is the album that shot Deep Purple to stardom and the name suggests their transition to a more 'rock' sound. They're in rock now, geddit? Anyway the first song is Speed King, one of the earliest fastest songs but the main highlight is the monumental epic Child in Time which brilliantly showcases Ian Gillan's vocals, Jon Lord's unmatched Organ playing and the 3rd greatest guitar solo in the history of rock music by Ritchie Blackmore!
