Deep Purple is a British rock group. They were one of the first and most famous hard rock bands, and are considered pioneers of heavy metal.

Despite their association with the sub-genre, Deep Purple has never been purely a heavy metal band, though many later heavy metal bands cite their influence. The group has frequently changed styles and lineups over the years, but has always included virtuoso players in its ranks and placed a high priority on musicianship. Some incarnations of Deep Purple have brought aspects of jazz to a rock context due to their frequent use of their songs as vehicles for extended and sophisticated solos.

An awesome band, greatest songs are: smoke on the water, black night, strange kind of woman

A great british 70's rock band! Its guitarist Ritchie Blackmore, Keyboardist Jon Lord, and drummer Ian Paice are all excellent musicians.
This band was known to have witnesses a lot of changes in its line-up.

One of the greatest bands of all time, who were at their peak in the 1960's to the early 1970's. They were characterized by their heavy; riff-based music style. Their biggest hit was Smoke on the Water, but they also had hits with other songs, such as Black Night, Burn, Knocking at Your Backdoor, and Space Truckin'. Had great musicians, like Richie Blackmore, John Lord, and Roger Glover.

An awesome band. Greatest Songs: Smoke on the Water; Black Night; Child in Time; Burn.

One of, if not THE greatest of all metal/hard rock bands. Always innovative and did nothing like the other bands of their time did.

Machine Head is the example of what all albums should aspire to be, although none will match.

Also, Jon Lord is the coolest dude ever. Made keyboards kick fucking ass.

A band formed in the Late 60s-early 70s that is one of the greatest rock bands of all time. They have one of the greatest guitarists of all time, Ritchie Blackmore, who falls second on my list behind Jimmy Page. Deep Purple's greatest songs(in my opinion) are Burn, Space Truckin', Black Knight, Demon's Eye, Child In Time, and Stormbringer. Everyone should check this band out.
