Highway Star is an iconic song by Deep Purple, one of the most influential hard rock bands. It was written in 1971 during a tour bus trip, and is characterized by two guitar and organ solos inspired by classical music1. Highway Star is the song that opens the album Machine Head, released in 1972, and which also contains other hits such as Smoke on the Water and Lazy2. Highway Star has been covered by many other artists, including Faith No More, Metal Church, Dream Theater and Quintorigo1. I think it's a very energetic and engaging song, which expresses the passion for music and speed. I really like the fast pace and the contrast between the electric and classical sounds. And do you like Highway Star? 😊 #deeppurple
