Glenn Hughs just seems a more adventurous bass player.

Glover is good, but quite straight forward.

As a bassist Hughes was clearly the better virtuoso
 
but I hate his funk leanings in Purple >> he destryed the group
let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword

Well, Hugues, he actually didn't... DP are still alive and kicking! Same story as for Rabin and Yes...Wink

Glover's worth was more for his production skills.
 
Burn and Come Taste the Band are brilliant recordings that Hughes was a major part of for both Bass and Vocals.
 
However, I don't think his style would have benefited Machine Head and In Rock, possibly just the opposite. Sometimes you need a little less Les Claypool and more Gene Simmons

Glover are very good
Hughes has a funky playing style
Simper is nothing special, of what i've heard

Roger Glover is a very good bass player that doesn't need to stand out so much to show he plays good (his only solo I've heard is in "Pictures Of Home").

Blackmore left because he hated the funky stuff from Hugues
 
Hughes introduced Bolin to the band and those two were responsible for the bad Taste album and the band's ultimate demise
 
The act that they got back together in 85 does not mean that the band survived Hughes's screw-ups

Good example.
I think Rabin just made stupid things during his work with Yes.
His solo album is so much better...


I like Glover more, he gave DP the "rhytm in power" Tongue
Welcome back my friends to the show of hands!

simper plays the progiest bass lines, hughes is more funky and glover is slightly hard rock. I think Simper wins ;)
