Rick N. Backer Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 Burn, although I love Come Taste the Band. I'm sorry, but I prefer Coverdale to Gillan by a lot. I like the Mk II albums plenty, but Coverdale when he's on is just better. And he was on Burn, Stormbringer and Come Taste the Band. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Analog Cub Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 (edited) Another vote for Burn, though they pleasantly surprised me with Now What after years of nothing that memorable. Can't ignore Old Glory aka Machine Head, though. Highway Star still gets the adrenaline going. Edited May 26, 2015 by BowlCity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReRushed Posted May 26, 2015 Author Share Posted May 26, 2015 Burn is in my top five. But I don't get all the Coverdale love. I guess he's technically a better singer with a stronger voice, but I find the Gillan material much more enjoyable. Come on, space truckin'... yeah, yeah, yeeaaahh. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RushCanuck Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 In Rock. EPIC! :finbar: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gudbuytjane Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 (edited) I don't mind the Coverdale years, but Gillan's voice still has miles more character and interest for me. Maybe it's because I was exposed to him as a toddler while my sisters listened to Jesus Chris Superstar again and again (though, seriously, what a performance he gives on "Gesthemane (I Only Want To Say)" ;) ).

Cyclonus X-1 Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 Knocking At Your Backdoor & Perfect Strangers are the only two songs I really like on Perfect Strangers. Those are the two best ones, but I like most of the others too. Hungry Daze is a strong track. Burn, although I love Come Taste the Band. I'm sorry, but I prefer Coverdale to Gillan by a lot. I like the Mk II albums plenty, but Coverdale when he's on is just better. And he was on Burn, Stormbringer and Come Taste the Band. I prefer Gillan, but Coverdale was great on those albums, and so was Hughes for that matter. vocals on speed king alone are cooler than anything coverdale ever did. Not to mention Child in Time. Come taste the band Great, underrated record. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
driven_to_xanadu Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 (edited) It's either In Rock or Machine Head. I'd probably go In Rock just for Child in Time. ...despite my avatar :P (yes I love Burn too) Edited May 27, 2015 by driven_to_xanadu 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thirteen Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 Have to give my vote to Fireball.Deep Purple albums are consistently great throughout most of their career. And Ritchie Blackmore is (was) the best rock guitarist since Hendrix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchetaxe&saw Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 BURN. RR, I'm with you on Fireball, ridiculously underrated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReRushed Posted May 27, 2015 Author Share Posted May 27, 2015 (edited) I'm currently immersed in Deep Purple. They are so good, it's ridiculous. For the life of me, I don't understand why they aren't recognized as one of the GREAT bands of all-time. It must be an American thing, I guess.

Those are the two best ones, but I like most of the others too. Hungry Daze is a strong track. "Wasted Sunsets" is a decent power ballad, as far as power ballads go. And I enjoy "A Gypsy's Kiss". The worst thing about Perfect Strangers is that it gets bogged down with '80s production. Edited May 27, 2015 by ReRushed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gudbuytjane Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 One lasting impact of the Coverdale/Hughes era is that even when I listen to MK II versions "Smoke on The Water" I find myself singing the Glenn Hughes' harmony parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geezer Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 The 'air Hammond' solo (well, not only 'air' because a solid surface - a table for example - replacing the keyboard amplifies the thing) in "Burn" remains my top moment of solace regarding Deep Purple MKIII Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueschica Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 Loooooove "Made in Japan" with "Woman from Tokyo" from that recording an all time favorite! For studio albums gotta go with Burn. :heart: Geddy, Alex and Neil, and members of other bands, when they talk about what a crime it is that Deep Purple is not yet in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

geezer Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 Errrr, there's no "Woman From Tokyo" in 'Made In Japan'....... It's been released for the first time the following year in 'Who Do We Think We Are' 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You sort of answered your own question. While he is technically better, with a stronger voice, for me that matters little, as an avowed fan of Ozzy, Diamond Dave, and Mick Jagger. As you do with Gillan, I just prefer the Coverdale material. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick N. Backer Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 And I'll raise this beef with both the Mk II and Mk III versions of the band: I don't care for the overindulgent live material. Sadly, Blackmore continued that when he formed Rainbow. Two disc live albums with 4 songs? No thanks. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am of the age when I had them on 8 tracks in my car! :) Sometimes it kind of runs together. . . sign of a misspent youth ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, so many "hip" musicians like sonic youth and dinosaur jr have named purple as an influence, you'd think by now they'd have some cred. but they're still seen as a boring dad rock band. oh well, at least we all know the truth.
