I love the pre 87 albums. Music had room to breathe, very classy with the unbelievable bass lines of Neil Murray. Most UK fans will always prefer the, Coverdale, Marsden, Moody, Murray, Lord and Paice era. Coverdale's voice was always more suited to the blues rock rather than the real heavy stuff.

Pete closer and closer to knocking 87 off the perch! Cheers Hack! Terrific show, fab flow.

Top 5 Whitesnake for me 5. Come an Get it 4. Slide it in (uk version) 3. Lovehunter 2. Saints an Sinners 1. Ready An’ Willing

1. Come and Get It 2. Lovehunter 3. Ready and Wiling 4. Slide It In 5. Saints and Sinners

5. Ready An Willin 4. Trouble 3.Saints An Sinners 2.Slide It In 1. 1987 I love both eras big time. The Rock Blues era and the Hard Rock era are both amazing! Great episode!

Great episode guys. For me: 1. Whitesnake (1987) 2. Slide it In 3. Slip of the Tongue 4. Ready n' Willing 5. Lovehunter

That was a good interview. Well done .

I'm probably the only one who puts Restless Heart on 1. I think it has some of David's best singing. Like on Stay with me, which is a cover but I never heard better covers of this song, and Take me back again, and Crying. Stunning vocals. I love almost all songs on it. Original version of Too many tears remains the best of all remixes imho. Other highlights are Restless Heart, Take me back again, woman Trouble blues, Can't go on. I can imagine that, if you like the 'Sykes' version of whitesnake better, this might not your favorite. But it is my favorite mostly because of the bluesy and ballad/pop songs on it and the awesome singing.

A great show guys!

great show Hack!!! i'm a huge Snake fan and always enjoy seeing Pete and Martin in the mix-all you guys are awesome!!!

Great to see "Forevermore" get some love! I was always fascinated that David Coverdale and Ronnie Dio had the same taste in guitar players, but used them to make totally different music.

1. Slide It In 2. Ready An' Willing 3. Come And Get It 4. '87 5. Lovehunter

Enjoyable episode this evening. My top 5 are Ready an Willing; Live in the Heart of the City; Slide it in; 1987; and Forevermore. Honourable mention to The Purple Album.

1.-LoveHunter 2.-Slide it in 3.-1987 4.-Trouble 5.-Come An Get It

Slide It In is the outstanding best Whitesnake album.

Come an get it Ready an willing Saints and Sinners Live in the heart of the city Slide it in

Great show! 5. Forvever More 4. Come An Get It 3. Saints And Sinners 2. Slide It In 1. Whitesnake 87

The riff from "Love an` Affection" (Saints And Sinners) sounds a little like the bonus track on the Come Taste The Band remaster, "Same In L.A." My picks: 1.Slide It In 2. Come An Get It 3. Saints and Sinners 4. Lovehunter 5. Trouble

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 favorite Whitesnake album is Come an' get it

Nice episode. My ranking is as follows: 1. Slide It In (UK version) 2. Saints & Sinners 3. Lovehunter 4. Slip of the Tongue 5. Ready An' Willing (agree with Forevermore by far their best of teh past 25 years a ssongs also more to the point)

I came to Whitesnake via the radio. First, Slide It In, then WS 1987. Then I bought the rest of the catelog. 1. Slide It In, 2. 1987, 3. Trouble, 4. Come n Get It, 5. Saints and Sinners. Trouble is, apparently, a contrarian pick - wasn't even mentioned in passing. But I like every song. There are some really fast songs which I love. I even like their Beatle cover - funky.

1. Live ..in the Heart of the City 2. Slide It In (UK version) 3. Ready an' Willing 4. Come and Get It 5. Lovehunter

5. Good To Be Bad 4. Come An Get It 3. Saints and Sinners 2. Slide It In 1. 1987

This “ trio” as usual/ tremendous show. My prediction/ next time there is a WHITESNAKE themed show. PETE goes 8️⃣4️⃣ , then 8️⃣7️⃣ as 1 and 2. My picks - 8️⃣4️⃣-1. 8️⃣2️⃣-2 8️⃣1️⃣-3 8️⃣7️⃣-4 7️⃣9️⃣-5. Thx guys. Great stuff 👍💯

Great show guys! Here's my top 5: 5. Forever more 4. Slide it In 3. Slip of The Tongue 2. Flesh and Blood (fantastic late career album) 1. 1987 album

1. Ready An' Willing 2. Slide It In (UK version, but the American is fine as well) 3. Come An' Get it 4. Lovehunter 5. Saints & Sinners (6. 1987)

(1) Come An' Get It .... (2) Ready An' Willing .... (3) Saints & Sinners .... (4) Whitesnake (1987) .... (5) Slide It In

I dont see the problem with the lyrics. Coverdale will always be one of my favourite lyricists

1 1987 2 slide it in 3 come and get it 4 ready and willing 5 trouble

I believe Micky Moody’s lead guitar on ‘Love Ain’t No Stranger’ made it all the way onto the lauded US remix. Ditto the Slide on ‘Slow And Easy’.

Ready and willing should be number 1 period whitesnake we're best in the early 80s 🤘

Great picks Hack, and I love the praise for Neil Murray who is a brilliant bassist! My picks would be: 5: Trouble (Daytripper drags this down for me) 4: Saints & Sinners 3: Ready an’ Willing 2: Slide it in (prefer the dynamics of the UK but US is great for some flash and sizzle) 1: Lovehunter (The epitome of Whitesnake for me as it touches all bases)

01] Slide It In 02] Ready an' Willing 03] Trouble 04] Serpens Albus (87') 05] Lovehunter

Awesome presentation Hack. Very enjoyable esp after recently viewing UK Conn.

Oh yes, that Lovehunter cover, one to not leave out when mother was around - although its a very similar graphic to the cover of Jon Lord's fantastic Sarabande album of a few years earlier. As per my rankings in the comments to the SoT Whitesnake favourites/least favourites show - now expanded to a top 5, studio only - and sorry I couldn't leave out any of the pre 1987 albums. 1. Trouble 2. 1987 3. Ready an' Willing/Slide it in UK version - yes I'm from the UK - the US version is very close due to the presence of Sykes, however on the UK version I think Jon Lord is a bit more noticeable, Colin Hodgkinson's bass is a bit higher in the mix, whereas Neil Murray's replacement bass is great but mixed down and I think Cozy sounds bigger and more meaty on the UK version than the US version which has got to be due to Martin Birch's 'British' mixing aganst Kevin Olsen's 'Corporate American' mixing 4. Lovehunter 5. Come and Get it/ Saints and Sinners

I'm with Guitar Hack, I prefer the bluesy version of "Crying in the Rain" on 'Saints & Sinners' over the version on the 1987 album.

My top 5: 1. Ready an' Willing, 2. Slide It In, 3. 1987, 4. Come an' Get It, 5. Trouble / Purple Album

5 Trouble 4 Come An' Get It 3 Lovehunter 2 Ready An' Willin' 1 Live In The Heart Of The City

1. Slide It In 2. Whitesnake '87 3. Slip of the Tongue 4. Flesh and Blood 5. Saints & Sinners

Great show as it always is with the top album shows. I don’t consider forevermore high a contrarian pick. A surprisingly great late career album, at times I had it as my number 1. 1. whitesnake 1987, 2. Forevermore, 3. Slide it in, 4. Saints and sinners, 5. Slip of the tongue (not great but after the top 4 I don’t rate highly most of the other albums.).

1. Lovehunter (1979). 2. Slide It In (1984). 3. Saints & Sinners (1982). 4. Ready an' Willing (1980). 5. Whitesnake (1987).

My top 5 5. Lovehunter (1979) 4. Good To Be Bad (2008) 3. Slip Of The Tongue (1989) 2. Slide It In (1984) 1. 1987 (1987)

Pete, I'm Canadian and I pronounce the words "boogie" and "woogie" like you do. ;-)

I bought them when they came out here in Ireland and like most over this way I don't like anything after Slide It In, it's just too American for my taste. 1 Ready An Willing 2 Love Hunter 3 Come and Get It 4 Trouble 5 Slide It In

Half the USA version of "Slide It In" album are dead now (Jon Lord, Mel Galley, and Cozy Powell).

Anything pre-Sykes

I still say that I never understood why the follow up to the 1987 album, "Slip Of The Tongue" (1989) gets so much hate. It has some killer songs on it, such as "Fool For Your Loving", "Now You're Gone", "The Deeper The Love", and the crushingly heavy "Judgment Day." Those 4 songs alone are worth the price of admission.

Whitesnake............................... Rules

Guitar Hack is "hacking" up a lung throughout this video. ;-) Drinking water while hosting a podcast and using the mute button are your two best friends! Hope you feel better soon.

5. Ready an' willing 4. Come an' get it 3. David Coverdale's whitesnake 2. Lovehunter 1. Trouble Not only the music but also the album covers get worse and worse.

Anything after they got all big hair is a real turn off. Early albums are the business. Trouble, Come And Get It, Lovehunter, Ready And Willing...and of course the monumental Live in The Heart Of The City. Later albums are avoided in my house 😁

1. Saints & Sinners 2. Ready an' Willing 3. Slide It In 4. Lovehunter 5. Come an' Get It

There is no Whitesnake after 1982.

@5:24 The not so bad version and the awful version. That Slip of the tounge album is a tough listen. Steve Vai ruined the Whitesnake sound. Coverdale made a huge mistake taking off with the loot and leaving Sykes with his pants down. Compression of the last three albums is crushing. Can't listen to those records without my ears bleeding.

Coverdales cheesy sexual inuendos puts me off whitesnake even the cheesy titles. Bon scott could do the womanising lyric thing in a cool way but Coverdale is cringe for me lyrically.

Top 5 whitesnake albums? 🙄
