Herbivore 905 Posted April 2, 2020 Haven't seen Deep Purple mentioned much over the years here. They have some all time classics. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LarryBoy 0 Posted April 3, 2020 As a long-time lurker, let me just say I love me some Deep Purple (and Rainbow as well). They do not get the respect that Zeppelin and Sabbath do, although I think Purple had better musicians. Blackmore may be an ass, but when he was on, I don't know who played better. Sad to see the recent Rainbow efforts, though. Voted for Burn, but Lazy is a great song. I would add Mistreated to the list as well. It is a killer live. I'll see myself out now.

BLS 313 Posted April 3, 2020 Perfect Strangers is a phenomenal song. The whole album was very, very good. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Big Guy 1,400 Posted April 3, 2020 I LOVE me some DP........but really only when Ian Gillan is at the helm. I finally picked up the Machine Head about 10 years ago.......it's possibly the single best Hard Rock album of all time. I chose "Highway Star" but "Smoke on the Water" and "Pictures of Home" are close behind. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

titans&bucs&bearsohmy! 2,745 Posted April 4, 2020 So I assume "knocking on your backdoor" is a ballad of his attempt to go for anal? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My favorite line is the one about the "cunning linguist".... Sweet Lucy was a dancer But none of us would chance her Because she was a samurai She made electric shadows Beyond our fingertips And none of us could reach that high She came on like a teaser I had to touch and please her Enjoy a little paradise The lock was in my pocket When Lucy met the rocket She never knew the reason why I can't deny it With that smile on her face Oh it's not the kill It's the thrill of the chase Feel it coming It's knocking at the door You know it's no good running It's not against the law The point of no return And now you know the score And now you're learning What's knockin' at your back door Sweet Nancy was so fancy To get into her pantry Had to be the aristocracy The members that she toyed with At city club were something in diplomacy So we put her on the hit list Of a common cunning linguist A master of many tongues And now she eases gently From her Austin to her Bentley Suddenly she feels so young I can't deny it With that smile on her face Oh it's not the kill It's the thrill of the chase Feel it coming It's knocking at the door You know it's no good running No it's not against the law The point of no return Now how you know the score And now you're learning What's knockin' at your back door Sweet Lucy was a dancer But none of us would chance her Because she was a samurai She made electric shadows Beyond our fingertips And one of us could reach that high I can't deny it With that smile on my face Oh oh, it's not the kill It's the thrill of the chase Feel it coming Knocking at your door You know it's no good running No it's knocking at your door Knockin' at your back door Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
