What are your top 3 Glenn Hughes albums?

[@Tompa8989]

1. Glenn Hughes - From Now On... 2. Phenomena - Phenomena 3. Black Sabbath - Seventh Star Honourable Mentions: Hughes/Thrall - Hughes/Thrall Deep Purple - Burn John Norum - Face the Truth

[@lh5942]

1) From Now On 2) Blues 3) Feel HM: 1)The Way It Is 2) Hughes/Thrall 3) Brazen Abbot - Live and Learn

[@utvf68]

1. Burn - Deep Purple 2. Black Country Communion I 3. Holy Ground - The Dead Daisies 9:47

[@JohannesYtterstrom]

Black Country Communion is now very active with a upcoming album called "V". Several singles are out already! Top 3 Glenn Hughes? 3) Glenn Hughes - Resonate (2016) Heavy and effective album. Not too much fuzz or strange ideas. Very classic and modern at the same time. I remember Pete Pardo rating this as Glenn Hughes best soloalbum. I was a bit surprised since I thought he probably go with something he has more history with but it is a solid choice. 2) Glenn Hughes - From Now On... (1994) As Peter Kerr said. It is sort of an AOR-album but a rather heavy style of AOR. Compared to like Toto, Survivor or Journey. 1) Deep Purple - Stormbringer (1974) I prefer "Burn" as an album but this is much more Glenn Hughes to me and whilst many Deep Purple fans rather go back to Machine Head or jump forward to Perfect Strangers.. I really like this one. It is perhaps the most odd album in the catalog and perhaps more interesting for it!

[@garyh.238]

Great picks too. So many to choose from, where to start?

[@garyh.238]

I was introduced to Glenn Hughes via Deep Purple's "Stormbringer" album when it came out back in 1975. Been a big fan of his work since that time. I have seen Glenn play live four (4) times over the years. Amazing bass-player who truly possesses a voice handed down to him from the Gods. That he is able to perform both tasks simultaneously at a stellar level, and at well into his 70's is simply mind-boggling. If you are able to catch him on tour, you will not be disappointed. --As for albums, I have: all of Glenn's solo albums; all of his Trapeze; all of his Black Country Communion; all of his Deep Purple (studio & Lives) ; all of the Voodoo Hill; all of his Tony Iommi-related projects (Black Sabbath & solo); all of the Hughes-Turner output; Phenomena, The Dead Daisies; as well as his collaborations with Pat Thrall; Gary Moore; Jon Norum (Europe); Keith Emerson; Pat Travers; Joe Satriani; and others. So much great music and wonderful performances.....a true legend. ---As for my favourite albums of Glenn's.....so so many to choose from, but the following are the real stand-outs for me: 1) The Dep Sessions 96 (with Tony Iommi) 2) Waterfall (Voodoo Hill) 3) Addiction (Glenn solo)

[@phillipbaxter8097]

1. Deep Purple-"Come Taste the Band" 2. Deep Purple-"Burn" 3.Hughes/Thrall

[@bmboldt]

Reed, I am familiar with the first two Voodoo Hill albums. They are very good. I wasn't aware of a third album.

[@garyh.238]

I love Voodoo Hill's "Wild Seed of Mother Earth" album, but the 3rd album "Waterfall" is even better.

[@Scandolo]

1. You're the Music, We're Just the Band (Trapeze) 2. Feel (Glenn Hughes) 3. Hughes Turner Project I (2002)

[@VincentLeRoy71]

For me,based on appearances 1. Run for Cover (Gary Moore) 2. Burn (Deep Purple) 3. Seventh Star (Black Sabbath) Hon. Mentions: The entire BCC catalog Holy Ground (Dead Daisies) And the Iommi / Hughes albums.

[@Jayflo7]

Yes! Way to go fellas, showing Glenn Hughes some much deserved love and respect. One of the greatest singers across any genre.

[@garyh.238]

Indeed he is!

[@Jayflo7]

@@garyh.238 👍

[@HuddshouseofRockNMetal]

1. Holy Ground - The Dead Daisies 2. Face the Truth - John Norum 3. Iommi - The 1996 DEP Sessions

[@pjtheory]

Reed, you hit it out of the park. Voodoo Hill's WATERFALL is one of the best rock albums in the past 15 years and both Iommi/Hughes albums are amazing. IMO, the 1996 DEP SESSIONS was slightly better than FUSED, but the production on both albums was top notch.

[@garyh.238]

Agreed on both points. Love Dep 96, and Waterfall is fantastic. Both are tops in my list.

[@purpletemple1]

Burn, Play me out, You are the Music. Special mention to Music for the Divine and Phenomena.

[@LEEFORDJAGG]

Thanks for covering this topic. Number 1: Hughes-Thrall. I so wished they had followed this up. Glenn’s best solo album: Music For The Divine. I wished that Glenn had stayed with Trapeze for one more studio album.

[@jimekberg]

1. Deep Purple - Burn 2. Black Sabbath - Seventh Star 3. Trapeze - You Are the Music... We're Just the Band and Deep Purple - Come Taste the Band Hon. Mention: Tony Iommi - Fused

[@Mark-bi5dk]

He is great on john norum album face the truth

[@bmboldt]

Peter, check out the Four on the Floor album for Glenn singing disco.

[@ZRATAN69]

BM, it's not disco but it comes close..poppy with funk style groves

[@RockDaydreamNation]

Will do.....love the voice

[@garyjoyce2160]

What happens NEXT / 1️⃣8️⃣. Album with. Joe. SATRIANI & Glen HUGHES Chad SMITH 👍💯

[@ashleygeisler1003]

Come Taste The Band - Deep Purple Hughes Thrall - ST Black Sabbath - Seventh Star

[@Ron-wf5yw]

For some reason never been a huge fan of Mr Hughs but i do remember the KLF tune that Peter mentioned. He was on the 3rd remake of that tune, titled America: What Time Is Love which was a beefed up version. That was 91/92. Not quite number 1 but was a top 5 hit.

[@hellojimmypage]

Apart from the mighty classics, I enjoy the Four on the Floor self-titled album from '79, the project with Robin George from '89 and The Work Tapes with Geoff Downes as interesting curiosities.

[@nilshenrikteigen9215]

Glenn Hughes is probably the artist I have seen most times live, and he’s always great as a solo act or in a band. The coolest gig I have seen with him was in 1993, in a pub with about 60-70 people in the audience. We just came out from a Deep Purple gig earlier in the evening and went straight to the pub for more Purple with Glenn, and where we in for a surprise, because two of the guests hanging around having a beer next to the sound board was Ian Paice and Roger Glover. What a cool night it was and Glenn played a lot of Purple stuff.

[@garyh.238]

Cool! That must have been in Oslo in November of that year.....one of Ritchie Blackmore's last performances with Purple. And Glenn was touring with some of the members of Europe at that time I believe. Two great shows in one night for sure.

[@nilshenrikteigen9215]

@@garyh.238 Correct it was in Oslo. First we had Ritchie’s second to last gig with the band, and it was a surprisingly good concert as well. I guess the gig at Elm Street pub with Glenn later on is the smallest venue I have ever seen him in, but he was just starting to rebuild his career at the time so I guess he couldn’t be picky. To see Roger glover and Ian Paice also enjoying the gig was also a treat.

[@garyh.238]

@@nilshenrikteigen9215 Definitely must be a highlight to have witnessed both Purple acts in the same town same night. I have seen both Deep Purple and Glenn Hughes several times as well, but never in such close proximity. I attended guitarist Larry Coryell & various Miles Davis alumuni's "Miles Smiles" concert in 2013 and saw Purple's keyboardist Don Airey at a nearby seat, enjoying the show.

[@winterlight99]

1. Glenn Hughes - Resonate 2. Black Country Communion - 2 3. Glenn Hughes - Building The Machine

[@davidgotteri]

Play Me Out is incredible!

[@ashleygeisler1003]

Deep Purple - Come Taste The Band Hughes Thrall - ST Black Sabbath - Seventh Star

[@domielakrabi3276]

An easy one for me - his three DP albums would make the top of my list.

[@markwilburn4962]

1 - Holy Ground, Dead Dasies 2 - Stormbringer, Deep Purple 3 - Any album from BCC but Afterglow is my favorite

[@jimmyagates]

1. BALCK SABBATH - Seventh Star // 2. DEAD DAISIES - Holy Ground // 3. SOLO - Songs In The Key Of Rock

[@williamgainford9332]

Seventh star - come taste the band - you are the music / were just the band

[@theemetallist6758]

Voodoo Hill - S/T from 2000

[@guillaumechabason3165]

The Christmas album Hughes and Thrall Play me out

[@kylemacneil3477]

When did Gregg Gaffin get an Australian accent. I'm just playing Peter, but... You could be Dr. Gregg from Bad Religion twin.

[@bmboldt]

Holy crap! Too many to choose from. Hope someone picks Four on the Floor. Hughes Thrall, John Norum, DEP Sessions, so many others.

[@seangerant653]

easy !!!! in no order .......Holy Ground - The Dead Daisies...........iommi - fused........Voodoo Hill...the first one 2000............. and ........Black Country Communion - 2

[@ericdinse5047]

I would disagree about Glenn as a disco / R&B singer. His solo album after leaving DP was very R&B but it wasn't very good. He may have a soulful edge to his voice, but he's a rock singer.

[@jimmyagates]

To be accurate KLF didn't have a #1 with What Tie Is Love.

[@davidgotteri]

Play Me Out is incredible!
