Bruce recommended this song.


Starting around 4:10 I hear echos of Gates of Urizen.

Down To Earth is such a good album. I think it has only one weak song (''Makin' Love''). I can see why Bruce likes it, a fusion of Rainbow and Purple sound. The album is full of great melodic plays and riffs. The ones in ''Eyes Of The World'', ''Danger Zone'', or some other songs before and after that could have been an inspiration for him and Roy. Especially the mystical sounding melodies and parts (TCW, Resurrection Men...).

Wow, that's a great variety of music right here. Nice to see Miles Davis and Pink Floyd. Actually I'm not familiar with many of the artists so that would be cool to find them out. Been listening to Electric Ladyland a lot recently and I remember reading somewhere that Jack Black considers Tom Waits next only to The Beatles and Led Zeppelin.
 
I suggest you give a listen to all that you don't know. Tom Waits is one of my favourite artists, Franks Wild Years is not considered his best but it's the one I love the most. Some say Rain Dogs (released exactly before) is his best or the album before that. Truth is that almost everything is great, and then there's 70s Tom Waits which is clearly different from 80s, different from 90s etc.

Same for Archive, I put Noise here, but it could be something else, same for Massive Attack. I am a big Parov Stelar fan but there's not an album other than compilation to make it so high. And there is no Maiden in the Top15 I guess somewhere in the Top 20 -30 there would be some, there are so many good albums in music.

Also instead of A Love Supreme it could be Olé another Coltrane masterpiece.

I tend to listen to the album when I go for shortish runs (< 30 minutes). It brings me great memories of the early 90s!
