Rick N. Backer Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 Purple, in any of its incarnations. Thin Lizzy is, IMO, one of the most overrated acts, ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hatchetaxe&saw Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 I love both, truly, madly, deeply. And Philo was a shining light in my country when all was dark. Currently reading My Boy, by Phil's mum. But, Purple. From the day I put In Rock on the turntable 25+ years ago, it's been some ride. Purple it is.

toscanobarga Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 Love both bands. But. Songs over solos. An identity (Phil) over chaos. By a hair. Lizzy. Of course I DID just see Lizzy couple of night ago..... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=26pVUYAS5oc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danielmclark Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 Wow, I think this is going to be even more of a rout than ELP vs. Sabbath. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WIDE-ANGLE WATCHER Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 Deep Purple.... I just saw a version of Thin Lizzy, opening for Judas Priest, entertaining and nostalgic... But Purple....is Deep.....for the win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tommy Sawyer Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 I don't listen to either so I am not qualified to vote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apetersvt Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 To me, this is a very interesting matchup as the bands are somewhat similar (in regards/comparison to all of the bands in this contest) DP for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUSHHEAD666 Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 QUOTE (Union 5-3992 @ Oct 23 2011, 12:09 PM) 24 bands, chosen by this forum. Only one will walk away as the greatest band ever. First to 20 wins I love Deep Purple but my minority vote went to Lizzy. I would take Lizzy over DP any day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thin Lizzy is, IMO, one of the most overrated acts, ever. You just lost all credibility. Nothing you say will mean anything to me for now on. I understand if you don't like Thin Lizzy but to call them "over rated"? you need to get your head checked buddy. Thin Lizzy is easily the most UNDER rated band there is. Here in USA everyone knows them as that band who plays "The Boys are Back in Town" and nothing more. I think my vote is pretty obvious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damn it's 18-3 now. Lizzy is going to die yet another premature death. Even the Yellow Pearl won't be able to save this poll. I just got done listening to "Night Life." What a record! Talk about underrated!! I think Deep Purple has become quite overrated and I love the Steve Morse MK version. I saw DP a few years ago headline here in Concord and I was totally bored. I get to see Thin Lizzy for my fifth time this Thursday. I am PUMPED!!! It will never be the same without Phil, yet I get to tear up a bit watching the new Thin Lizzy MK. Watching any Thin Lizzy in 2011 is better than NO Thin Lizzy! I hope this MK of Lizzy will actually make a new record! Deep Purple is old and stale now. Sorry, but it's Lizzy for me all the way to the grave. Saw, you have broken my heart tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a good match up. Lizzy is IT! Just because Deep Purple has a more extensive catalog doesn't mean they are better. I have every DP album ever like most of you I bet, but man some of those records are terrible. Signed, "Slaves And Masters" and "The Battle Rages On" Give me "Chinatown" and Renegade" instead!! "Thunder And Lightning" blows away every Deep Purple album except for "Burn." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thunder and Lightning is a solid outing for Lizzy but better than In Rock, Machine Head, Fireball, Stormbringer? No chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
