I also enjoy Come an' Get It, though from there you start listening to A LOT of 'cliches', and well Saints & Sinners is like a compilation of the previous 4 just with different lyrics

and what about Leaf hound, wonderful band do  you agree??

I'm sure you haven't heard Lovehunter and Ready an' Willing, and if you have you should definitely realise that these albums are highly recomended for Deep Purple fans from MK 3 and 4. If you haven't heard them, please don't bash the band just for their junky side of the 80's. It would be like bashing Genesis or Yes just considering their 80's albums, and that would be so mistaken. *wags finger at you*bad move brother... Jared has been listening to this stuff since your parents were kids Pablo.  Never assume that a member.. and especially a a collab who gain collab status since they tend to know music pretty well....  speak on groups and albums if they haven't heard them.  The quickest way to look the fool is to shoot your mouth off and you haven't heard it.  don't mistake not agreeing with not having heard....   you wouldn't do that to Raff now would you.. trust me.. she has hard them all... Raff wrote: OK, guys, I love those Whitesnake albums, but I think that calling them even Prog-Related is a stretch. Though they're great records in the great  British hard-blues tradition,their level of progressiveness is next to nil, in my humble opinion.

My suggestion on Whitesnake being "Heavy Prog related" was just a joke for some.
While the "discussion" with Fandango(Jared) isn't. From what you said, he should have known more than me, saying that Whitesnake is highly recomendable for Deep Purple fans from MK 3 and 4, talking about their early era, which Raff talked well. And I was just supposing that he hadn't heard them, and even I said if HE HAS he must know they're highly recomendable, etc, etc...

Anyways, listening to Octavarium, not heavy Prog but sort of When it's finished I'll grab Demons & Wizards

Hey... Another good album (and band)... In Psychedelic heavy Prog is this:

I distinctly remember being relieved when we decided Hard Meat was not prog enough to be added
