Wow! Talk about apples and oranges. We're talking about two very different albums from two different eras. While Defenders Of The Faith is admittedly a very good '80s metal record, Burn is an absolute classic. And by the way, it's actually my favorite Deep Purple record. I'm admittedly more a fan of Judas Priest than I am of Deep Purple overall, but in this instance there's simply no contest! (Now, if you put Burn against Stained Class - my fave Priest - I would vote differently...)
