I could do that, but that's X hours of my life I'll never get back, when I know this is gonna wind up in the '70s anyway, as it should. They've been a legacy band since the late '80s, as impressive as Steve Morse may have been.

Purpendicular and Now What? are different to Blackmore`s time of course, but they are properly great albums. A different band name and they`d be rightly lauded :yes: but no reason why four guys should change due to Richie`s flouncing. They`ve been with Morse for a lot longer than they were with Richie, so if anything the world has got it all wrong :nya nya:

I get that, I do, but if they're gonna keep the name, they ought to be judged as _Deep Purple_, and that's a different scale. The time argument is like pointing out Trujillo has been in Metallica longer than Newsted or Burton, but so what? (pun intended!). The latter-day Metallica will be a footnote in a hundred years, and I suspect that will be true of DP, too.

Then I guess I`ll just have to take control of recording music`s true history, which is a bit of a pain, frankly.

How many of these polls ever favour the latter part of a band's catalogue? It's usually the early or 1st half of the discography which might be something to the average age of the people who frequent these forums!

 

Youth of today:- Albums, LPs/cassettes, CDs, heck even DVDs? What are you talking about (old) (wo)man!?!? If it's not the top play on SpottyYouToobCurrentOnlineyPlayerThingy then it aint worth listening too!
