So the entire "band name that is a complete sentence" phenomenon is not a recent fad! Shocked

oh yeah, sorry about that...my english is not THAT good..

My favorite MK II(70's) album is Fireball, close behind Machine Head, then Who Do We Think We Are, Concerto.. and last In Rock. (not counting Made in Japan)

MK III & IV: lead by Come Taste the Band, second Stormbringer, Made in Europe and last Burn.

MK I: Book Of Taliesyn, then Deep Purple and last Shades.

MK II(reunion): Battle Rages On, House of Blue Light, Perfect Strangers.

MK V: I really like Slaves & Masters, even though, yes this one being commercial rock.

Mark II, then Mark III, then Mark I.

Mark II needs no explanations, I love Mark III too (great Stormbringer), and Mark I (prog one!)..would be perhaps be my most favourite one if only they were a bit less directionless.
Percussion, sir!

I understand what you mean, but the problem of this line-up has one name: ABANDON which represent 50% of their output, maybe the worst DP recording IMHO>
 
.....i enjoy more BANANAS and THE RAPTUREWink....with Morse in a DP line-up!

It simply has to be Mark II. Mark III was pretty good, and even the later versions are ok too. However, Mark II was a landmark band in the history of rock music, so I vote for them.

Mark II but III and IV were also very good. Shame there's only one studio album featuring Tommy Bolin.
