My favorite Deep Purple song remains "Rat Bat Blue" from Who Do You Think We Are. I would have enjoyed your reviewing each album. Ideas are meant to be shared.

Secondly, the fact is Deep Purple is one band I don't want to over-think - they've been hard wired into my ear since I was about 11 years old - like how your starch of choice is bread, rice or potatoes depending on what your mother fed you as a child. Finally, ah..... well, I can't think of anything right now - oh yeah - because of their constant personnel changes I'm reviewing their albums in groups - next I'm going for the original Mark I albums with Rod Evans and Nick Simper. But my vacation starts tomorrow so I might have to get around to it when I'm not relaxing oceanside in the sand - as if! Not even zingzing's complete Beach Boys collection could get me doing that!

Here I was all primed for a "Discographer" type series on the 'Purp by the Skeet. So I'm a bit disapointed you didn't go that route here. Still, nice overview. Maybe one day they'll get around to updating this seminal band's catalog, and giving it the deluxe treatment it really deserves. -Glen 729064@blogcritics.org Thu, 26 Jun 2008 20:43:25 EDT
