How many Deep Purple albums have you listened to in their entirety?
None, apart from "The Book of Taliesyn", but I guess you knew that already. Tongue I have a couple of Deep Purple compilation albums though. Smile

5 Burn

I am rather tired of Smoke on the Water, but it is a great song. It's just been overplayed, especially in schools...

There've been many SHADES OF DEEP PURPLE over the years with various line-up changes along the way that reads like THE BOOK OF TALIESYN. DEEP PURPLE are almost as enduring as the U.S. Presidents engraved IN ROCK on Mount Rushmore. Their storming brand of Hard Rock has all the fiery energy of a FIREBALL and the tempered steel hardness of a MACHINE HEAD. The band asked "WHO DO WE THINK WE ARE?" as they prepared to BURN up the world stage with their thunderous live act of STORMBRINGER songs. Crowds flocked in their thousands to COME TASTE THE BAND live. Fans of Deep Purple who began as PERFECT STRANGERS became lifelong friends as they watched the band perform together in THE HOUSE OF BLUE LIGHT. THE BATTLE RAGES ON to determine the best British Rock band of all time, with Deep Purple being PURPENDICULAR to Led Zeppelin in the vast pantheon of Rock. There's nothing quite as thrilling as seeing A-BAND-ON a crazy world tour, no matter whether they're going  BANANAS in Brazil or Nuts in the Netherlands. For anyone lucky enough to have experienced the RAPTURE OF THE DEEP Purple Live, they may wonder NOW WHAT can possibly better that in the INFINITE universe of Hard Rock!?
