Come an' Get It has become no. 1 for me in recent years. Lonely Days Lonely Nights is my all-time fav blues, such a cool groove on Hit An' Run, love the trademark Whitesnake swagger of Girl and the hard rockin' Hot Stuff. Followed by Trouble and Lovehunter, superb playing with Marsden, Moody and Lord's delivering excellent, generous solos on that early era.

‘Come An’ Get It’ has always been my favourite! Hit An’ Run is a killer track!

Great fun as usual! My choices didn't change in ages. Favorites: 01. 1987 (1987) 02. Slide It In (1984) Least favorites: 01. Slip of the Tongue (1989) 02. Restless Heart (1997) Wild card: Come an’ Get It (1981)

Love all their albums. Fav: Come an Get it and Ready an Willing. Least Fav: Slip of the Tongue and Flesh and Blood Wild card: Snakebite, technically an Ep turned into a fantastic album by adding 4 DC solo tracks. Love it! Cheers.

Great show today Gents! My 2 favourites are: Ready & Willing; and Live in the Heart of the City. My 2 least favourites are: Slip of the Tongue; and Restless Heart. My wildcard is: the 1987 record. Honourable mention: The Purple Album

Ready and Willing...Come and Get it...(wildcard) Live in the Heart of The City.......Classics.....

I saw the Snakes wednesday at the Saku concert hall in my hometown Tallinn with Europe in tow. Both of them did not dissapoint. I am very interested to see what the picks are. This is going to be a great show. Its Probably safe to say that the popularity of each whitesnake era depends on ones rock music preferances and fandom history. I personally like all eras of the band, especally up to 89

Another quality show. My faves must include Live In The Heart of the City, it's my go to Whitesnake album. Not a bad song on it. And it has a killer Take Me With You for one thing. Other fave would be Come An' Get It or Saints & Sinners. But it's so hard to choose. Saints & Sinners tour was the only time i saw them. Colin Hodgkinson on bass, Mr C F Powell on drums (complete with gigantic pyro/flamethrowers), and Mel Galley replacing Bernie Marsden. Least faves Slip Of The Tongue and 1987. Wildcard would be Northwinds.

I live a couple of miles from Saltburn in the north of England , David Coverdales birthplace and the area in which he used to play live in the pubs and clubs. Strange to think as you wander round this sleepy little seaside town that a rock legend came from here. Also I would add Paul Rodgers also played round here and was born about 10 miles away.. Great show chaps

Managed to almost catch this when premiered - another great show gents. Enjoyed the ups and downs of the discussion and perhaps this will finally get me to move Whitesnake further up on the listening list. Thanks as always for your time in entertaining us. Cheers!

Favourite Saints and Sinners. Saw them on this tour with the late great Cozy Powell. Come n Get It and Trouble are great as well. Least favourite and I know this will upset Pete, 1987. It totally put me off Whitesnake and David Coverdale. His screaming hair metal sell out and I was done with them. Never listened to anything since.

Slip of the Tongue has always been a favorite, I remember being four or five years old and hearing that on cassette in the car... People bash on Vai's playing but it holds up pretty well. Good songwriting (I hear classical music bits in many spots), good lineup (Tommy Aldridge on drums, for example) and stellar vocal performance from Coverdale (Judgment Day is epic!). As for Vai, what can I say? I love the tapping overdose, a nod to EVH and the occasional inverted Hendrix chord thing like on a certain part of Slow Poke Music- easily one of my favorite moments in guitar history when one of those chords ring out... Then you have something like Wings of the Storm which is ruthless metal with a riff right up my alley (favorite song in retrospect, by the way) and the two hit ballads which I think are actually elevated by the solos. I also don't know if everyone knows this, but the cat noises at the beginning of Kitten's Got Claws are all guitar noises done mechanically with nothing done in post-production... Sure fooled me! Perfect record top to bottom in my opinion... My second favorite is Lovehunter- something about the tone, the whole smoothness while still having that 70s crunch... and it has the best lead guitar of all the earlier stuff and a well-rounded collection of songs, especially deep cuts (medicine man, long way from home, help me thro the day, walking in the shadow of the blues + the title track)... Now, least favorites are simply the debut and Ready an Willin, because I honestly enjoy all the Whitesnake albums and those are probably the ones I'll hear from start to finish least often... Flesh & Blood has to be the wild card because that exceeded my expectations even from the good standards of the previous two... Reb is a favorite guitarist for me and does an incredible job, doing way more of his signature Winger stuff. I haven't heard this record in a while and I can still remember the hooks and choruses of most of the songs... That's how good it is compared to even earlier stuff...

Another great video by you three guys! I`ve liked Whitesnake ever since `Fool For Your Loving`. My two favourites are `Ready An` Willing` and `Slide It In`. Around the `Slide It In` era Whitesnake were releasing many singles and I used to enjoy buying those. They were good times and I miss buying 7" singles from a variety of record shops.

Oh dear Stephen, 'Judgement Day' is the Snakes best song. A freind played it to me and that started my Whitesnake journey!

nothing after saints and sinners for me,is the channel giving away prizes if we guess Pete's choice lol!! looking forward to watching it probably my favourite episodes are the UK connection

Restless heart was REALLY well served by the recent box set where DC presents demos, outakes, remasters, remixes but most importantly a NEW version where guitars and keys are added to make it a "real" Whitesnake record. Even added a new cover to make it look like one.

I really enjoyed these discussions, well done guys

Loved this episode. What a band Whitesnake are. I have to agree that 'Slide it in' is the best but Ready n Willing was my favourite for many years. Please search out the 2019 mix of Slide it in from the Box Set, it's phenomenal.

Great show guys! I'm a big Whitesnake fan, and I really like this show topic. I don't think I can pick a least favourite, as there are some parts of this catalogue I haven't really revisited (it's the early part Simon and Steven love lol) but my favourite albums are the 1987 album, Flesh and Blood (Pete xd), Slide it In and Slip of The Tongue. I think Flesh and Blood is easily the best of the recent ones, I find it to be a really good uplifting happy time hard rock album. Of course, 1987 and Slide it In are classics, and I actually like the UK tracklisting for Slide it In, though that's the one I'm used to. I really like Slip of The Tongue, I think it's a really fun album with lots of great songs (I disagree about Slow Poke Music, Simon, I love it), but that's just me. Looking forward to the next one of these!

Beverage of choice well 2 tonight. Swinkels Superior Pilsner 5.9 per cent Dutch or Op and Top Pale Ale 4.9 per cent Dutch.

Great show as always

I really think David has one of the best live albums ever in his hands IF he releases the complete 1980 concert partially used for Live in the heart of the City.

Top two are Come an’ Get It and Ready an’ Willing. Bottom two are 1987 and Slip of the Tongue. Wildcard is Restless Heart.

Funny, Slip of the Tongue is my second fave (after 87 album) album of Whitesnake :D

I'll be with Steven and Simon on that, simply because I have no knowledge what Whitesnake did after their americanisation. When I think of Whitesnake this refers to the early UK albums. Highly recommended: Bernie Marsden's biography. I love the guy and am very pleased that he achieved such a success after the tough times with UFO. Unfortunately it came to a sudden end.

again my fave trio making a joyful episode 🙂this and Hudson valley Squares are my 2 fave programs on this channel and the krautrock epsiode of in the prog seat and other episodes from that program where you talk about more than classic prog rock, though i like myself some of those classic prog bands as in those beloved english bands, it's not something i listen to that much, although i'm pretty well versed in that genre if i may say so, and of those classic uk bands King Crimson is my fave band, cause they where more edgy than alot of the more symphonic bands, and i really don't consider the mighty Floyd as a prog band, but i guess that's because my Floyd is the Barret Floyd, shortlived yes, but i obviously love a couple of their Gilmour albums too, Rush is it's own entity if you know what i mean, sorry a bit of a tangent there, but, this channel happens to be my 2nd most watched YT channel as of for quite some time, so...ol Coverdale, Mr Sleaze himself, Whitesnake where never my fave band but i do enjoy some of their output, though my fave Coverdale album happens to be one of my 2 fave Purple albums, namely; Burn, and funnily enough title wise the other is; Fireball (whaat how is that possible, In Rock and/or Machine Head are obviously their best, and yes i do love those albums too, and their underrated Mk1 output too, not as much by far compared to the aforementioned, but still) anyways, just to clear things out, i'm not british, nor european, but Scandinavian and yes Slide It In, which is not an album i like that much, it's not bad but it's getting closer to..., but yes the european/uk version is superior (coming from somebody who speaks as in understands music/production as it's in my blood, inherited, and i must confess damn proud of it, as it's a gift/talent which i can utilize and help and learn others to understand music and to explain my why's etc with all things music, and i'm learning myself every day too 🙂) and then there's the first impressions thing with music, which is innocent although can be unfortunate, as while music/art is very much subjective, it's also objective, and i have this trait too, and when it comes to americans, and no offense, and a bit stereotypical, like their things, whatever it may be; BIG and in your face, which is not a bad thing, being a classic car enthusiast too, and specially anything high performance, as from the 60's, i do love my V8'S very much

During the late 80's I could easily day Whitesnake was my favorite band. With 1987 and Slide it In. It wasn't until 1992 when I found all the late 70s and early 80s tapes in a $2 bin at a local record store that I realized I was missing quite a lot. #3 album for me would be Live in the heart of the city. Great live album... Except I get tore of Coverdale shouting" Here's one for ya" before every song lol

I agree with steven "into the light" is a great album! Vocals are amazing! Btw northwinds is my all time favourite. .great show guys..

As usual ;the trio with the trio. Beer 🍺 music 🎶-and straight up laughing = grand slam HR on a Saturday afternoon here in NJ USA 🇺🇸

For me Whitesnake had a trifecta of albums, Come An Get It, Saints An Sinners, Slide It In (UK version). All 3 superb excellent, also Saints An Sinners has the best versions of Here I Go Again and Cryin In The Rain. The solo in CITR is outstanding full of soul and depth. My 2 least favourite Slip of the Tongue and Restless Heart. My Wildcard is Northwinds, great musicians playing some outstanding bluesy soulful rock music. Mr Coverdale in his low register voice is amazing.

Another Scot from Aberdeen coming down 100% on "pre USA '87" Whitesnake .... but my main comment to make here is about how highly regarded Bernie Marsden remains to this day ... and what a genuine guy he is. He was playing the Lemon Tree in Aberdeen a wee while back as solo support act (!!) to Joanne Shaw Taylor ... doors opened at 7pm or thereby and by 7.30pm the venue was rammed (holds up to 550 standing) ... never happens ... never full early ... but folk came out "en masse" to see / hear Bernie live ... signed my copies of my Look at Me Now and About Time Too LPs before his set ... chatted with everybody ... really engaging ... also played tunes from his (then) new Shine CD .... and, later on, buddied up with Joanne as they did a blinding version of Standing in the Shadow of the Blues (possibly my favourite Whitesnake tune ... along with Don't Break My Heart Again and Ready and Willing) ... had total audience participation ... just magic .... Moody / Marsden era Whitesnake just "works" .... do also really like the solo Coverdale LPs / EP pre Whitesnake ... CMcG, Aberdeen, Scotland

I love David Coverdale White Snake and Northwinds as well as the early Whitesnake albums, but I have to say I love them all. Listening to some David Coverdale interviews and box openings of these new releases. It sounds like David has been trying to do some self titled albums, but it gets suggested ‘told’ to make it a Whitesnake album. I think he has wanted to go back to his blues style for some time. Let’s hope that that is where he’ll be heading after this farewell tour. My wild cards are Coverdale Page and Into the Light.

Does anyone know how many albums, videos, and bands Rudy Sarzo is involved with where he doesn't play a note on the records but his picture is on them or he's in the videos? He seems to be all over the place but then you find out that someone else played the bass on the albums that feature his picture, or the popular Whitesnake songs he's in the videos, and even Quiet Riot he doesn't play on Mental Health. The Ozzy-Randy albums always come to mind first but there's so much more. Oh well, this video triggered this thought.

Fantastic show guys 👍👍 My favourite Whitesnake albums are Ready An’ Willing and I have to say I’m loving Unzipped.

Favorites - Lovehunter (1979) and Slide It In (1984). Least favorites - Slip of the Tongue (1989) and Restless Heart (1997).

Remember seeing the David Coverdale Band in.... 1979/80 with wild horses as support. In the college in Lincoln, me and 50 people... If that, it was brilliant 👍

Enjoyed the video lads! I still can't believe that nobody mentioned Lovehunter (my favourite album)! Rock & Roll Women...Walkin' In the Shadow of the Blues...Long Way From Home...Help Me Thru The Day...We Wish You Well...Classic Stuff! Ready & Willing being my 2nd.

So WHitesnake My favourites: Come An' Get It Ready An' Willing Least favourites: Slip Of The Tongue The Purple Album In between: Slide It In (UK version) Slide It In (US version)

Whitesnake are one of my very favourite bands so this was hard... Favourites: 1987 (it was the album that got me into them in the late 2000s) & Come an' Get It Least Favourites: Trouble (I like it but it is baby 'Snake with a few weird tracks) & The Purple Album (a cheat but I love everything else too much) Wildcard: The Purple Tour (Partly because this is what The Purple Album should have been all along and partly as it was filmed at the Birmingham show I was at in 2015)

I was glad to see David Coverdale Whitesnake album. Great album & like Simon said really soulful. But I thought that was his first solo album, cause hit put out North Winds after that & it was under David Coverdale. And yes Whitesnake was his band & had a lot of changing parts, but those albums are different from most of Whitesnake's albums plus I think there was a nucleus to the early albums with the same musicians.

Wow! I have to say I loved Slip of the Tongue, loads of energy, flash, swagger, catchy, and an album that I cranked up all the time back then. Loved Steve Vai's playing on it. Hooks, anthemic, a strong album of its time. I suspect the distaste I hear in this vid is more rooted in the fact that Steven and Simon were pre-1987 album fans who fell in love first with the early UK era (which I came to like later). But Slip of the Tongue is loaded with energy and reflects a band on top of the world at the time. I spin it much more than anything that comes afterwards.

Love the Decorating to Coverdale story. I painted the house discovering the Glenn Hughes catalogue. Guess what, perfect finish achieved!

Come and Get It (1981) is my fav album from them. Don't Break My Heart Again and Lonely Days, Lonely Nights are classic songs

My favorite two are "Slide it in" and "Ready an' Willin'". I don't want to give a preference for either the UK nor the US version of Slide it in, it really depends on with which one you grew up, but the song order is definitely better on the UK version - Gambler is a perfect opener with the moody keyboards by mister Lord and the uptempo Guilty of Love closes this perfect album 😃 The least favorite might be one of the recent ones, maybe the latest one - it left me pretty cold Wildcard - Coverdale & Page (am I cheating?) - a very underrated album A suggestion - a Favorite & least Favorite on Thin Lizzy and/or Gary Moore! Would be much appreciated!

Best: 87 & Slide It In Worst: Slip Of The Tongue Wild cards: Forevermore and Lovehunter

Another excellent show gents - on one of my favourite bands! No tipple to accompany this evening's show as I have just returned from the curry house where accompanying the meal I imbibed several excellent pints of Cobra ! Cant really disagree with anything said tonight, but I must confess, sadly, that I have never heard the US version of" Slide It In" I must seek it out forthwith! For me it is: Favourites: "Lovehunter" and "Ready an' Willing" Least Favourites: "Restless Heart" and "Slip of the Tongue" Wildcard: "Live ... In The Heart Of The City"

I was into Whitesnake since I was 11. When no one really knew who they were here in Canada. Ready and willing is still my favourite Whitesnake album. I also like the hairband stuff, but not as much.

Confession time as a fellow Scot I have to totally agree with Steven for my faves and also for his comments regarding when I lost my real love for the band. Faves : Come and Get It and Slide it In . The 2 albums I consumed voraciously. As for least the favourites Restless Heart and The Purple Album. Wild card was my introduction to Whitesnake Live In The Heart of the City. Trivia, I once bumped into Mel Galley on an Inter city train From Glasgow to London. He still had the brace on his arm following the accident. I was starstruck and could only ask if he was Mel Galley!

The original european version of Slide it in is a perfect 10 out of 10. The US version does nothing for me. Come and get it is another masterpiece.

The solo on crying in the rain on 87 is mind blowing..still remember get it new back in the day..hi Pete..all the way from New Zealand..52 years old still a metal head..

Once again the UK Connection delivers another very entertaining episode. Well done everyone. My top 2 Whitesnake albums are 1. 1987. 2. Ain't No Love in the Heart of the City Live album.1980. It is one of the best live Albums ever recorded and extremely underrated!

You sold me on ‘into the light’ Steve, will have to check it out

Another great show. I didn't realise we could do Dave's solo albums. David Coverdale's Whitesnake and Northwinds are great Spoiler alert, Restless Heart survived relegation by one song. I thought this would be easy. Come an get it and Ready an' Willin" as my faves, 1987 as my wildcard, Slip of the Tongue as one of my least faves and I'll work out the other by listening to the four 'Snake albums I haven't heard and relistening to Trouble upto Slip. Job's a good 'un. Well, yes and no. There a few surprises on my week of listening. Firstly, I wasn't too keen on Carry Your Load, Love Man and Black and Blue.That"s a third of the album. So that's out the window. Second surprise was the first album I bought 34 years ago 1987, even though nit having listened to it for years, I still love all 9 tracks. That's fave #1. Relistening to the early albums I found that the honky tonk bar room boogie of songs like Lie Down, You and Me, Rock n Roll Angels & Black and Blue didn't work for me. Preferring tracks like Walking in the Shadow of the Blues, Ready an Willin', Saints and Sinners, Girl, Would I lie to You?, Child of Babylon. Leading to the conclusion that Come and Get It, is my second fave , loving all ten tracks even though it has. The HTBRB of Wine, Women n Song, which I feel is the best example of this with Dave's tongue in cheek (whose cheek we don't know) lyrics. My wildcard is Slide it In both versions even though the UK version of Standing in the Shadows is much better. Most of the other albums have a ratio of me liking 70 to 80% of the albums except the next two. Least favourites are Slip of the Tongue. Cheap n Nasty - yes, it is The Deeper the Love - rhyming colder with shoulder, no. Kitten Got Claws - no, just, no. Slow Poke Music - those angular guitar jabs might poke someone's eye out if they're not careful. The best songs Sailing Ships, Judgement Day, Wings of the Storm and the title track. My other least fave Good to be Bad, starts of well with Best Years , Can you Hear the Wind Blow, and Call on Me. Then meanders till Summer Rain. Then gets lost again, until we reach Till the End of Time.

Hi Pete and Simon and Steven great fun with all of you ,the very first album I got from Whitesnake was Slip of the tongue, for me come and get it and Saint and sinners are my top the one I don't listen to much is Restless heart the purple album

1. Slide It In 2. Saints & Sinners 3. Ready an' Willing 4. Lovehunter 5. Trouble 6. Come an' Get It I figured I'd just list the studio albums I own, since 2 faves, 2 least faves and a wildcard would've just about cover it. I do own the live album and have the EP. I just never got around to buying the self-titled '87 release. I thought about it, but money was tight for a college freshman and by the time I'd heard a couple of other songs from the album my interest had waned. Anything softer than The Cult or GNR wasn't getting my cash. Don't regret it and have never felt the urge to purchase anything else. Love that early ouput though.

This was a very interesting episode, mainly due to learning the differences in perspective among the panelists (geography) on _Slide It In_ and, maybe, the 1987 album - Really... and I've never cared much about Whitesnake. Simon had me ROARING with laughter about "Spit It Out" - yeah, absolute poetry; Coverdale is one of the greats, hahaha! Steven, I'll take this opportunity to respond to your comments about Pineapple (and later, Pineapple pizza) from last week's episode. I like Pineapple. I LOVE me some pizza. Pineapple Pizza? I'll say what you couldn't say last week: No. FUCK no! 🤮 Great episode, guys!

This is one I've been looking forward to now - Whitesnake firmly within my top 10 bands of all time! My number one is Lovehunter, which I think is the perfect encapsulation of the Whitesnake sound and one of my favourite albums ever, period. Number two is the UK mix of Slide it in although I could have picked anything up to 1987. The worst two are Good to be Bad and Flesh and Blood - not stinkers but nothing to write home about. Wildcard is Starkers in Tokyo, which although lacking setlist wise is a great showcase for Coverdale and Vandenberg.

Favorites: 1. Ready An' Willing 2. Come An' Get It Least Favorites: 1. Slip of the Tongue 2. The Purple Album Wild Card: Restless Heart (I love it!)

This is a band I have a hard time getting into but not giving up yet.

Bernie Marsden’s book is fantastic! Great mention, Simon!

Saw Mick Moody at Donnington show possibly 60,000 fans .Then saw Mick Moody playing The Southampton Pub in Surbiton Surrey outside London a year later.Must have been a 100 fans at that venue

23 : Live at Donington 22 : Restless Heart 21 : The Purple tour 20 : Live in the shadow of the blues 19 : The purple album 18 : Made in Japan 17 : Flesh & blood 16 : Trouble 15 : Live At The Reading Rock Festival 1979 14 : Slip of the tongue 13 : Snakebite 12 : Good to be bad 11 : Forevermore 10: Starkers in Tokyo 9 : Made in Britain - world record 8 : Lovehunter 7 : Live At The Reading Rock Festival 1980 6 : Come an' get it 5 : Saints and sinners 4 : Slide it in 3 : Ready an' willing 2 : 1987 1 : Live in the heart of the city .. one of the best live albums ever ;-) Greetings from Flanders Belgium Robby

My top 3 bands have remained the same for 40 years also! and have Never Moved!!! 1. KISS 2. QUEEN 3. THIN LIZZY, Whitesnake definitely sits in my top 20. and I really like/love all their albums including Coverdale's solo stuff... and I break them up in 3 categories: Moody/Marsden era, Slide. '87, Slip era and 2000 era and I have favorites in all three. but this is my overall list. so here we go... Favorites: 1. Slide It In (US Version) 2. 1987 Least Favorites: 1. Slip Of The Tongue 2. Trouble Like both but hardly reach for them when in the Snake Mood Wild Card: Restless Heart (1997) just love this album on it's own, I don't mix it with other Snake records I'll spin with Into The Light and C/P album.

Fantastic show. Great to hear some fans of pre 87 album. Come n Get it, my favourite, the greatest line up in my opinion, Lonely Days Lonely Nights the highlight but from start to finish a classic. My worst album has to be is slip of the tongue, as far away from the Whitesnake I love. Love Coverdale but post Slide it in was a downward trend to me although still produced some great songs they lost their lighter blues groove with Neil Murrays amazing melodic playing.

There's a lot of Good Albums from Whitesnake, but Come An' Get It is probably My Favorite. Although, Restless Heart is definitely Not My Favorite.

Fun fact...ive never heard a Whitesnake album! This video will get me to change that. Thanks, lads.

Great episode. Wild Card = Northwinds - For Steven Reid all those new mixes by that Chris guy includes contributions from some of the musicians like Adrian who come back and add new pieces which are mixed in with the already recorded music to bolster the mix up to today's standards.

Thanks, gents, for another insightful show which I listened to before coming to work over a pint of Side Pocket from the Tring Brewery, although I bow to Stevens choice of of Belhaven 80, a classic brew indeed... Sorry to all you late 80's US'Snake fans, but I'm going to be very British in my selections as well. Yes, #1 is Slide It In UK. I saw them on this tour at the Aberdeen Capitol, yes with Cozy F'ing Powell, flamethrowers 'n' all, and was it ever brilliant. #2, way harder, but I'm going for Lovehunter, the first album of theirs I bought, much to mummy's horror upon first sight of the cover, not the last time a purchase of mine elicited such a reaction... Least favourite, again, 1st choice easy, Slip of the Tongue for all the reasons you all covered on the show, 2nd choice less so. Nearly went for 1987 as fir me it epitomises the Wildhearts early classic 'Turning American', but Still of the Night and one or two others save it, so again I'm having to go with Restless Heart, again for the reasons already given... Wildcard? Loved all your choices, but have gone for an album bearing the Whitesnake name, and picked their sort of comeback album, Good To Be Bad... Cheers all, looking forward to next week!

Great show as ever guys. I've been a fan of Whitesnake since day one ( thanks, initially, to my dad) and although I love the early bluesy rock albums I've got to agree with Pete and say that my love for Mr. Coverdale & co grew as soon as John Sykes stepped aboard and attached a turbo engine to the band. Therefore my picks are as follows:- Favourite: whitesnake '87 & Slide it In (us) Least favourite: trouble & the purple album Wildcard: Slip of the Tongue 👍

I have been a huge Whitesnake fan since 1987 when I wax in HS. I think overall I’d put them in the # 2 favorite slot right behind Van Halen.

The double 45rpm red vinyl version of Slide It In sounds amazing. Highly recommended.

I look forward to each of these best of/ worst of/ wildcards shows and y'all did a great episode again... I would love to watch a Rolling Stones version of this show if all of y'all are fans.

Favorites - Whitesnake ( 1987 ) & Slide It In ( 1984 ) Least Favorites - The Blues Album & Restless Heart Wildcard - Saints & Sinners ( great record, almost as good as, Slide It In, for me ) & Slip of the Tongue ( I know it's a pop metal album through and through but I came in with the '87 and '89 albums, some of it doesn't hold up that well but there are some really good songs on it, screw the haters. lol )

Hi Pete, Not sure about your number 2 favourite but Purple and Whitesnake have always been my favourite bands. First saw David Coverdale with Purple on the Burn tour in May 1974 and was lucky to be near the front at Cardiff to bid farewell to him on his last UK concert. Even more exciting for me, is that my two children, have been to see every Whitesnake tour over the past 15 years and they love them as much as me. Whitesnake live are a real tour de force and the latest lineup, with Dino and Tanya, are excellent. David is still the supreme stage presence - will we ever see his like. And the show, the music, the sing alongs, the posturing, the solos are unparalleled. Bless you Whitesnake - the music of my lifetime.

My top two are Come an' get it & Ready and Willing Bottom two are Restless Heart and Slip of The Tongue Wildcard is Live in The Heart of The City

1) Come and get it 2) Lovehunter Least favourite: Restless heart ...yeah I like Slide It In, but it never made it quite above medium for me. And I definitely prefer the UK version.

1987 and Slide It In are my absolute favorites

Solo or in Whitesnake arguably no artist has caused me as much soul searching and heartache as David Coverdale. Love the majority of his material with Purple, love Whitesnake up until 1987 and especially love his solo stuff. All this however is balanced against his exemplification of all that's worst in "cock rock" where he sings as if he really believes his own publicity. No David, no. There are only two artists that are forever priapic. One is Mick Jagger and the other is Mick Jagger. On top of that, old Cov (for me) made a huge mistake when he started to sing like a scalded cat with it's baws in a mangle. Totally agree with Steven, Into The Light is an unrecognised masterpiece. Denny Carmassi's drumming on Slave is worth the price of admission alone. I'd best leave it there. Sounding like Colombo, just one last thing... a future show, favourite old tour tee shirts and can you still fit in them?!!!

1. Come An' Get It - my favorite WS album since 1981. What a great production by Martin Birch! The best Paice's drum sound is there of all-time, in my opinion! 2. Ready An' Willing Least favorites: - 1987: Didn't liked it then (1987), don't like it now. Since then its not real Whitesnake for me anymore... - Second last favorite: Pretty much all after the great "Slide It In". "Into the Light" was good album though. - wild card: "Live...In the Heart of the City". One of the best heavy/hard rock live doubles for me! 👍

I'm with Simon and Peter, the UK versions are the ones I grew up with and the ones I love.

Great Show Chaps Fav Slide It (UK) Ready N Willing Least Fav Slip of The Tounge The Purple Album Wild Card Live in the Heart of The City

Another excellent show gentlemen. Personally I much prefer early Whitesnake albums and remember when they played live they seemed to never want to leave the stage at the end of the night !

Whitesnake is no doubt one of my all time top 5 bands ever. Slide It In & Ready an' Willing & '87 my favorite I love that live one Pete mentioned- outstanding ! Agree Slip of the Tongue is weak & Vai was a bad choice Great player but shouldn't have been on this album. If Vandenberg played on it then it would have been solid

2 favourites - Ready an' Willing & Slide it In. Wild card - Live...In the heart of the city. 2 least favourite - Slip of the Tongue & Slip of the Tongue. I was lucky enough to see the great man in Dublin several weeks ago, the band played all the classics and touched on most of the albums, in particular the early classic blues/rock albums, his voice is shot to pieces but he has a great band who all are fantastic backing singers, it was a fun send off & a wonderful evening of music.

Having seen on KZfaq the recent footage of the tour with Europe and Foreigner his voice is shot now.

I don't have anything past Slip of the tongue. Saw them at Donington in 1981 and on the Saints and Sinners tour. Favourite - My absolue favourite is Live In The Heart Of The City but if excluding live albums then my favourites are Slide it In (UK mix.) + Saints and Sinners Least Favourites - 1987 and Slip of the Tongue.

200 points to Steven for a Littlest Hobo reference. "Maybe tomorrow...."

I googled “Whitesnake Spit it Out lyrics” and he is right : Guilty of Love comes up… still true! 😱 Did I overhear that Pete Pardo and Cozy Powell are related?!? What do you guys think about the kid Dino Jelusick being groomed by Dave?!? That reminds me Ritchie Blackmore bringing Dave Coverdale to Deep Purple after Gillan left…

Should be an interest in one with the two from across the pond I'm curious to see what they think about the White Snake us versions versus the UK versions because it kind of divides the lines in a lot of groups as far as how they rank it. Some prefer the UK versions over the US versions and then vice versa

Best 2 album - Ready An Willing, Saints and Sinners Worst 2 album - Flesh and Blood, Good to be Bad. Wildcard - Trouble. Neil Murray’s bass work on that album is a joy to behold.

Favorites-Slide it In, Saints and Sinners Least favorite- Restless Heart, Slip of the Tongue (still enjoy those though) Wild Card-Come An Get It

Top show again - I'm going to have to re listen to the UK Slide it In - got it on tape for years but then got the US version on ITunes and really liked it. Bottom line is the songs are tops.

my favorites are 1987 and Slide It In.Least favorite are Come And Get It and Good to be Bad.Honorable mention is Trouble I think is a damn good album

I’m with Simon: that 1987 Whitesnake album just makes me mad. And of course the 84 album - as Steven very clearly explained - is shite. I like the Jon Lord and Ian Paice era.!

My favorites ended up being: Ready & Willing ... Slide It In ....and 1987 s/t. Least favorites were the one's I sold..

For me: Top 2: 1987 and Slide it In Bottom 2: Restless Heart & Forevermore Wild card: The Purple Album

My favourite Whitesnake albums are- 1. Trouble - bought it when it first came out and because I had already bought the EP and loved it - Bloody Mary, Aint no love, Steal Away, Come On which to his credit werent then included on Trouble. I saw them live in Bournemouth on 6th November 1978, was stood at the front right in front of Jon Lord who was just magnificent. I still listen to Trouble more than any other Whitesnake because it takes me back to a time and place and I also love that it isnt just stuck in one particular style, I also rather like their version of Day Tripper. 2. 1987 - After Reading 79 and Lovehunter for some reason I fell a bit out of love with Whitesnake. The NWOBHM had started up and I was into a more metallic sound - I'd always favoured Rainbow and Gillan over Whitesnake and I was also not that big a fan of blues rock - I can live with the double CD for Free and Bad Company for example and dont really feel the need for anything else of theirs - and this from someone who loved Aint no Love on the EP. Then after a few years I moved to Portsmouth went into HMV and bought 1987 mainly because it had Sykes on it - I hadnt as yet got any of the other Whitesnakes after Lovehunter - and was blown away by it - my original UK version didnt have the 87 version of Here I go again, but had everyhting else - Still of the Night, Crying in The Rain, Looking for Love - the last track on side one with an absolutley fantastic solo from Sykes. So with utmost apologies to my fellow Brits especially to Simon and even though I'm a Brit too, I love 1987. Least favourites I have to also go with Restless Heart, just tired and as Pete said, boring. Second least favourite isnt going to be Slip of the Tongue, as I quite like it - I can feel Steven wincing at that but I dont mind the Vai widdling and I thought his reworking of Fool for your Loving at least tried to do something different with it - I very nearly picked it as my wild card but always had my wild card as my wild card because of what it did for me. So I have to agree with Pete with Flesh and Blood as second least favourite - simply becuase I couldnt really pick anything else and I havent listened to that one for a while. I also quite like the Purple album though prefer the live versions if I'm honest. My Wild Card has to be Live in the Heart of the City, which I did actually buy when it first came out but because of one thing and another only played a few times. Then after 1987 came out I thought why not give it another spin, just to hear those Trouble songs live again, and blow me if I didnt then fall in love with the whole thing and kick myself very hard for not having followed them since Lovehunter. So that caused me to go out and buy up the back catalogue - admittedly on cassette - which as Steven and Simon have correctly said is and always was and will be the real Whitesnake, and are all fabulous - and yes Slide it In UK, despite the US mix having Sykes on it, is the one to have. I did also get the 2 on 1 cd of DC's Whitesnake and Northwinds. And I remember DC saying at the time that for Whitesnake at least he wanted to get back to singing rather than screeching as he had done with Purple.

A Burnley man! I was born in Blackburn :-) 'She's A Woman' is my favourite Whitesnake song, and one of my favourite songs in the world generally.

Favorites: 1987 (was brought up on this one) Ready An’ Willing Least Favorite: Slip of the Tongue, The Purple Album Wild Card: the deluxe 2cd “Live In the Heart of the City” with “Live At Manchester” tacked on. 2 for 1 phenomenal release.

For a comparison and to give Pete an idea about how Simon and Steven feel about Whitesnake he should think about how he feels about Aerosmith in the 70s compared to Aerosmith in the 80s .
