Mark II, easily. But I also really enjoy Burn and Stormbringer (Mark III), Perfect Strangers (Mark IIb) and Purpendicular (Mark VII).

Yeah, as stated before MK II is going to win this one by a landslide. It's my fave bunch of all of them. The only interesting aspect to this poll might be to ask "what might have been if MK IV (Lord, Paice, Hughes, Bolin, Coverdale) had stuck together "? Not to say they would have beat MK II DP, but just to wonder where their own little band could have gone. A totally new stew, new name perhaps, but they had something that could have made them stand out from the usual hard rock crowd.

As big a Blackmore fan as I am, I love "Come Taste the Band", which is, in my very humble opinion, much better than "Stormbringer" (good album, yes, but nothing special). |

Until I became prog lover I was sure that Mark II was the best but now I have no doubt that in Mark I they made the most ambitious music. And Lord was the real hero of this band in these days...great times.. -------------

i voted for Mark IV for one and only reason: it would be a real shame if the Bolin era didn't get at least one vote... he was a great guitarist.. he could play everything, from jazz to rock to fusion to you name it.. ------------- -music is like pornography... sometimes amateurs turn us on, even more... -sometimes you are the pigeon and sometimes you are the statue... |

Itīs a pity Purple never released an album with Satriani, that could have been really interesting.
I voted Mark ll, but also like Mark l and lll

I've only heard a few poor recorded quality tracks from a boot of Joe Satriani with Purple, and the mix meant that when Lord played Satriani disappeared. However, those times you can hear Satriani solo, something different and special comes through. (However, the quality is so poor, I haven't been tempted to go back too often to relisten). A real pity there isn't a legit recording of DP with JS. ------------- The best eclectic music on the Web,8-11pm BST/GMT THURS.

^Do you mean "most commercially successful"? Because I don't see anything commercial in such tracks as "Bloodsucker", "Child in Time" and "Fools". MK II is my favourite period, and "In Rock" and "Fireball" my favourite Deep Purple albums. -------------

| 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. |

In Rock is the best album by DP fo me, but for an era I vote for something less obvious. Steve Morse is a fantastic guitarist, and Jon Lord is a keyboard legend, Purpendicular is pretty good hence my vote. |

Date Posted: September 03 2008 at 18:58
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 RAPTURE
....with Morse in a DP line-up! |

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. ------------- |

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 2.
First concert ever march 1972.
Danish television filmed this and is now available on DVD.
Got it and how lucky is that.
Anyways,mark 1 is a close second.
