RUSHHEAD666 Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Come on guys! "Burn" is the greatest Deep Purple album ever made! Yes? No? Who cares? The Hughes and Coverdale MK were by far Purple's best years! Ian Gilan is a stud too but my love is on Coverdale and Hughes! The Tommy Bolin stuff was excellent. Forget the Joe Lynn Turner album. A lot of the Steve Morse Purple is solid too. For my ears, nothing touches BURN! What is your favorite Deep Purple album? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUSHHEAD666 Posted January 21, 2015 Author Share Posted January 21, 2015 Let's talk Deep Purple! I can talk about this band until I turn purple in the face! LOL! Again. Ian is awesome, but Coverdale and Hughes together equals "HEAVY METAL THUNDER!" Love, SAXON 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyclonus X-1 Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Burn, Stormbringer, and Come Taste the Band are all great albums. Machine Head is still my favorite though. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digital Dad Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Made in Japan baby. and Burn, and Pupendicular. Who Do We Think We Are? Oh yeah and Perfect Strangers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbine Freight Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 I agree Earl. Burn & Stormbringer are my favourites. The Coverdale/Hughes era was ace! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rod in Toronto Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 I wish they had more albums featuring Coverdale and Hughes...it´s too bad that drugs ruined the band in the late 70´s. I bought a combo of Stormbringer and Come Taste the Band years ago, but don't have my own copy of Burn!!! There´s a good documentary on Mark IV called Getting Tighter. Check it out Earl, it´s available on YouTube. I´ve seen Purple in the Purpendicular and Rapure of the Deep tours. Gillan is not the same anymore, and should just retire. They came around these parts last year and I didn´t even bother going, since the setlist is pretty much the same with one or two songs from their latest album added. Hughes on the other hand still sings like he´s 24 years old, even after years of drug abuse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg2112 Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Great album, no question. Prefer the Coverdale era over the Gillian lineup. But both great. Never got into the current incarnation with Morse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rod in Toronto Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Purpendicular is good, Greg. After that, there are a few tracks here and there, but nothing to be too excited about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyclonus X-1 Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Purpendicular is good, Greg. After that, there are a few tracks here and there, but nothing to be too excited about. I agree that Purpendicular is the best of the Morse ones, but I think Abandon and Now What?! are good albums as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Not Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 (edited) You're right Earl, you fool no one! :D Machine Head is my favorite, but I also really like "Who Do We Think We Are?" There's just something about that one - short an very sweet. Burn is great though, don't get me wrong. Not many bad Deep Purple albums, for that matter...

Mr. Not Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Their song "Highway Star" has the earliest example I can think of of a "Unison Solo" between a keyboard (organ counts) and a guitar. I have reason to believe they founded this majestic new way of soloing. It gives an energetic solo much more depth (sound-wise) and strength, not to mention it's always impressive to see the guitarist and keyboardist so in tune with one another. The unison solo is often used today in progressive / power metal, just look at how often Dream Theater does it (using DT as a popular reference). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Not Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 I don't think there have been any Mark 1 comments yet. Am I the only Taliesyn fan? :smoke: I like to hang around "In Rock - Perfect Strangers" territory. Knockin' on Your Back Door is an awesome tune, along with Child in Time it's the first of theirs I really got into. Their first three albums are wildly different from the rest of their stuff. Not bad, just not what I had in mind when I thought, "time to listen to Deep Purple!" Still haven't listened to their latest album... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rod in Toronto Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Joe Lynn Turner has mentioned in an interview to Classic Rock Magazine that he thinks Slaves & Masters is the best Deep Purple album. Whaaaaaaat?!!?!? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyclonus X-1 Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Knockin' on Your Back Door is an awesome tune It sure is! along with Child in Time That was the one that convinced me of Gillan's awesomeness. Joe Lynn Turner has mentioned in an interview to Classic Rock Magazine that he thinks Slaves & Masters is the best Deep Purple album. Whaaaaaaat?!!?!? Can't imagine why he would think that. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg2112 Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Purpendicular is good, Greg. After that, there are a few tracks here and there, but nothing to be too excited about. I've heard folks say good things about that album, as well as Bananas. I should give them a fair shake. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick N. Backer Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 I prefer Coverdale/Hughes to Gillan. So I agree, Burn, Stormbringer and Come Taste the Band are their best albums. Ready for some complete heresy? CTTB is actually their best album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyclonus X-1 Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Ready for some complete heresy? CTTB is actually their best album. It ranks way up there for me too. It certainly has some of my favorite DP tracks (Gettin' Tighter, Comin' Home, Love Child). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rod in Toronto Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 John Lord said CTTB is a great album, but not a Deep Purple album. Maybe he thought it was too different from how they sounded without Blackmore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUSHHEAD666 Posted January 21, 2015 Author Share Posted January 21, 2015 Burn, Stormbringer, and Come Taste the Band are all great albums. Machine Head is still my favorite though.
