Machine Head's good, but it's only popular because of it's influence.

Maybe, but idk, that's a slippery slope. You can start saying that about A LOT of albums.

Wow! Complete trash? So you're saying their was not one redeeming, good factor you found in that album? I find that hard to believe. Do you just generally not like classic hard rock? Cuz in terms of that genre, this has some GREAT stuff! Highway Star is excellent.

I honestly just didn't hear anything good in it, just over the top popp-y classic rock trash IMO.
