I'm happy enough with DP being tagged as prog-related.Please lets not let this thread degenerate into the drivel appearing on a similar one (and if you havent fallen into it,dont bother looking cos it aint worth it). Its good to see some intelligent and civilised debate!

I think they can be considered prog-related but it doesn't really matter cuz prog or not they are of the greatest bands ever( and in my opinion one of the best).

No, they are not.
They are one of the greatest hard rock bands on Earth. Everything they have done between 1968 and 1974 is either masterpice or very close to masterpiece. But they are not prog.

I'll rate some of those albums tonight on my homepage ... I guess that for some of them the progressiveness will be around 3/10.

in 1970 at the time "IN ROCK" was released Purple were considered a prog rock group because of "CHILD IN TIME" but since then there have been many twists and turns!

Have you heard "Concert for Group and Orchestra" (an early album by Deep Purple)? In that album Deep Purple tried to mix rock and classical music. That is at least prog-related. And later in their harder albums Jon Lord's organ was pretty progressive.

well you could call that prog related, or you could call that Neo-Classical, much like Yngwie Malmsteen's work. Of course there are plenty of differances, but there are enough similarities.
I made the mistake of purchasing the cd of that album, and its actually Steve Morse on guitars. The cd is a remade version that isnt the same as the origional(which is on DVD). While I have no problem with steve morse, he cant compare to Ritchie Blackmore.

prog related?????? bahh!!!!! how much more prog did that album need to be???
an article that ended up in my P.M. one day on another site....
http://www.musicweb.uk.net/arnold/lord.htm
read that.. and tell me it's.... prog-related. 
Deep Purple mk. 1 was a 1st generation prog group and probably
amoung that group of the innovators behind the whole movement in the
late 60's

DP of course is not the ugly definition of METAL. It's hard rock/classic rock.
I only consider In Rock a Proto Metal Album. Then the Evan era Psych/Hard Rock. And then hard rock.

It may have some moments of prog like specific songs but never an entire album.

No I dont consider Deep Purple as prog or prog-related.Just because they made three albums in the sixties who sound a bit proggish doesnt make the rest of the albums they made prog. They are simple bluesbased hardrock. I mean c'mon that sound is what made DP famous. It is a little odd calling Deep Purple a prog band simply because three obscure albums that nobodys heard of. That is a bit like calling bands like Status Quo, Krokus or Journey prog or prog-related because of their early work. I dont really consider those sixties albums as progrock, they sound more like psychedelic bluesrock . But you could call that prog-related.
What I agree even less with is people who say that they are not heavy metal. They are 100% pure heavy metal and without them bands like AC/DC, Montrose, Judas Priest, Iron Maiden and Van Halen simply wouldnt have excisted or would have sounded like Bad Company. I dont know were this whole trend of saying that classic HM bands like Deep Purple arent heavy metal comes from but its a load of nonsense
Ritchie Blackmores playing has nothing to do with overrated guitarists like Yngwie Malmsteen and that whole Guitar Instetute of Technolgy style of playing. SHREDDING SUCKS!!!!!
