What's your favorite Deep Purple album? Let me know down below!

Great Video! I love Deep Purple so I really enjoyed this video 🤘

Great rankings! My favorite Deep Purple album is In Rock, because I just LOVE "Child in Time". That song is epic. I don't own anything by other lineups beside the Mark II lineup, but I am interested in checking out Burn. I think I stayed away from Burn because I absolutely despise Whitesnake, so I wanted no part of anything with Coverdale. I'm willing to revisit that album now on Spotify and purchase it if I like it.

Come Taste the Band at 21??😱 I’ll admit it takes a few listen to get into this cause it doesn’t feel the same without Blackmore. I’ve personally come to appreciate it for what it is. It really is an extension of the Stormbringer album just without Ritchie. Tommy Bolin is no Blackmore just for me he hold his own. Songs like Drifter, Deale, Lovechild would be classics if not for this incarnation of Purple couldnt last due to Tommy Bolin and Glenn Hughes drugs. You keep on moving is my personal favorite from the album

My top 5 are: 05) Fireball 04) Burn 03) Perfect Strangers 02) In Rock 01) Machine Head Honorable Mention: Slaves and Masters (not a bad Rainbow album) I agree with you on King Of Dreams. It's a Stone Cold Classic and I feel like it completes Joe's dream trilogy. Street Of Dreams (Rainbow), Dreaming (Yngwie J. Mamlsteen), and King Of Dreams (Deep Purple). Joe told a story in a recent interview about how visions of a woman's face from a dream he had, inspired him to write Street Of Dreams. I think the other two are about the same woman. He said he saw her in the crowd at one of his shows in 2007 almost 24 years later and married her. She's his wife to this day!

Very interesting rankings. Love your take on the albums!

All songs from D. P. Are great 👍

Rapture of the deep title track is killer, Now what?! Is a great album, I’ve got the Rare Gold Edition of that. Infinite is a great album too, I saw them on that tour in 2017. Bananas is alright, the album cover is absolutely disgusting 🤣 I have it, snatched it up on eBay ages ago. Whoosh! Is pretty decent. Love Purpendicular, completely Agree with what you said there. I don’t actually like Stormbringer😅 Perfect Strangers is like the best reunion album ever. I can’t argue with your top three. Brilliant video I’m glad you did this 😊

Agree....BEST= PEEP DURPLE in ROCK...😋😋

Nothing beats MK2 Purple, but I will take MK1 records over Mk3 any day! Love Burn and Stormbringer, but the psychedelic stuff from the first 3 is awesome! Machine Head and In Rock are my top 2!

I have In Rock , CTTB and Fireball as my top 3

A young man talkin about classic rock: congrat :)

Fog On The Fire! Cheers, Johnny Z!

I just listened to Whoosh! and loved it! I'm still working my way through their discography so I'm checking out some of these ranking videos I've already watched to get an idea where to go next. When I'm finished with their discography I'll rank them myself and so far i have a feeling im gonna piss off alot of people lol

Very interesting evaluations here. Glad Mk.1 got more recognition than is sometimes the case. To me, Deep Purple is The Beatles, so I can't choose an order, or at least an order that doesn't change daily. Steve Morse helped the band become a huge success with new albums again. Slaves & Masters is my guilty pleasure!

My fave is probably Perfect Strangers.

Made in Japan is considered by some not only the best from DP but best live album ever recorded!

Pretty close to my ranking. I wouldn’t have put Burn ahead of Machine Head nor PS ahead of WDWTWA.

I've not listened to every Purple album, actually I've only listened to a few of them, plus all the hits I've become firmilar with over the years.... but I've been getting interested in their deeper catalog lately... Machine Head is my favorite album that I've heard but In Rock is great as well and I picked up House of the Blue Light on a whim and really liked it!

I can appreciate In Rock as their best. Musically, lyrically, and sonically. Also, Fireball is a great follow-up. But my favorites are their first 3 albums.

The mach two line up was my favorite, although i like all the line ups, Deep Purple is one Rocking Band.

I'm a Purplehead since 1968. Come Taste The Band was definitely not a hard rock record but for what it was, it was terrific. Sounds to me like your tastes are kinda monolithic.

Another cool video, man!! Keep it up! My top album is Who Do We Think We Are but I totally agree with Come Taste The Band. It is horrible in my opinion.

Respect your rankings but for me Come taste the band is one of their best overall records

I love Taste the Band, probably my fave. Groovy funky monster! Sometimes I prefer Morse era (Abandon less), very consistent. From classic period, faves: Stormbringer, Who Do We Think, Machine Head. In Rock, Fireball & Burn are good, just one or two tracks each I don't like much. MK2 reunion is meh to me, but I prefer House of Blue Light.

It's too hard to rank them, so here's my grades instead: (My number one: Perfect Strangers) Shades of Deep Purple 4 Book of Taliesyn 4 Deep Purple 4 Concerto for group and orch. 3 In Rock 4 Fireball 5 Machine Head 5 Who do we think we are 3 Burn 5 Stormbringer 4 Come taste the band 4 Perfect Strangers 5 House of blue light 4 Slaves and masters 3 Battle rages on 4 Purpendicular 5 Abandon 2 Concerto II 4 Bananas 4 Rapture of the deep 2 Now What 4 Infinite 2 Whoosh 4 Turning to crime 3

They don’t argue about tastes, especially since everything is extremely honest and sincerely said. I'm just giving my opinion too. I don't actually rank albums by number, but there are preferences. Absolutely agree with the first number - this is a great album. And here is the second most overrated album from this group for me. Burn was an attempt after the experimental WDWTWA to repeat the success of the previous album and release the second Machine Head, but you can’t step into the same river twice and although the album is decorated with a great title track and great riffs or melodies sound in places, but in fact the other 6 songs are nothing remarkable, and A 200 is a filler, made up of old Mark 1 instrumental pieces, for me Stormbringer sounds more sluggish, but a more honest album, and not an attempt to sound like a more successful predecessor. I also don't like the double vocals on the hard rock album, besides the fact that the new singers bring in too much funk and soul, the vocal harmonies make it all sound too poppy. If I had a rating, Burn would not have entered the top ten.What can I say, is it noticeable that Hughes and Coverdale are not my favorite singers?

1. Perfect Strangers 2. The Battle Rages On 3. The House Of Blue Light 4. Burn 5. Infinite 6. Purpendicular 7. Slaves And Masters 8. In Rock 9. Machine Head 10. Fireball 11. Who Do We Think We Are 12. The Book Of Taliesyn 13. Stormbringer 14. Deep Purple 15. Shades Of Deep Purple 16. Now What!? 17. Come Taste The Band 18. Whoosh! 19. Rapture Of The Deep 20. Bananas 21. Abandon 22. Turning To Crime

Come taste the band .. is one of the best rock albums of the late 70’s .. by anyone. The drumming alone is fantastic. Agree re Bananas .. after Purpindicular it’s my favourite Steve era Purple album. In Rock is def’ their best studio album. Ironically Shades of DP sounds more like In Rock than any other in their catalogue .. probably because they had to record it in two days .. basically playing live. Who do we think we are .. an album I find myself playing more and more. It just sounds great .. so full and fat .. all the instruments stand out in the mix . Ian’s singing is fantastic .

Come taste the band. Its a MESTERPIECE!!!!!

Come Taste the Band in last place is absurd. Every Deep Purple fan appreciates the greatness of that record.

Would be In Rock if most of the album wasn't about Ian Gillan's hard lovin' [ Why would that interest me ] apart from Child In Time only Blackmore's playing exites me. Not a fan of Gillan Therefore 1. Machine Head [ A perfect classy album in every way ] 2. Burn [Ritchie burns] 3. In Rock [ Great music, playing and singing but Dumb cheezy lyrics spoil it for me ] 4. Perfect Strangers 5. Fireball [ Title track Needed a great lead break from Ritchie but nothing ] 6. Stormbringer [needed heavy long guitar rockers] 7. Who Do We Think We Are [ Gillan's writing is mostly garbage and Blackmore is not allowed much space no long solos in Woman From Tokyo or Rat Bat Blue , Mary Long , Our Lady and Smooth Dancer 3 of the worst songs in Rock history ]

CTTB last!? I'm out.

Though speaking for myself, I don't like Ian Gillan, I think he is one of the most overrated singers in rock history. He didn't ever sing very well. Just a good screamer for Child in Time. Coverdale and Turner were good and more versatile singers. Steve Morse is an amazing guitar player, but a poor composer, unable to create unforgettable riffs as Blackmore knew how. I would say my favs are Burn / Come Taste The Band / Slaves and Masters and In Rock.

Mach. The word is mach, pronounced (mahk), NOT mark. It's Mach 1, Mach 2, and Mach 3, NOT Mark 1, 2, and 3.

You talk to fast !!! And your way to young to understand Deep Purple

CTTB in last place? NFW! It’s a good album - better than many of their others. And Now What is great. Also - the self titled album is far superior then their first 2 albums - in my opinion.

in rock#1, fireball#2, perfect strangers#3...🤟🫶I don't like the coverdale period, only his solo work
