Deep Purple

[faizal_rocks]

Any Deep Purple fans here? I`m sure most of us are big fans of the famous Mark II lineup but I listened to the albums from the Mark I lineup n they sound pretty good, a lot of great songs from there..seriously..Hush,Wring That Neck, Blind, Kentucky Woman etc..they even did a great cover version of the Beatles` We Can Work It Out. Their sound I would say is progressive, psychedelic pop. I think the Mark I lineup is really overlooked n overshadowed by the hard rock direction DP would take with Mark II. By the way, don`t get me wrong, I`m a huge admirer of all the lineups

That being said, Ritchie Blackmore is an incredible guitarist. He manages to get a big sound from his Strat that can put a Les Paul to shame..haha..

I think the brief period when the late Tommy Bolin was the lead guitarist is equally good. Stormbringer and Come taste The Band are very good.

 

[BleedsNoMore]

the best line up ever is ian gillan, ritchie blackmore, roger glover, jon lord and ian paice..

personally i dun really like steve morse being in the band..

favourite hits would be highway star and child in time.. EPIC!!!!

been listening to them since I was 7 years old. But I'm not exactly a big fan of them,I am just a much more Sabbath fan.

but Child In Time definitely is an awesome song. When it's played live! damn!

Check it out!

The Mk I line-up wasn't that famous because of the songs, but I agree they have some great tunes. The latter line-up with Bolin sounds funkier. I love the band despite of the line-up changes. Just cherry-pick the best tunes you like!

What do u guys think of David Coverdale? Of cos, he can`t be compared to Gillan but DC does have a unique voice.

DP is timeless!!..
