GREAT episode. Really nice seeing GILLAN (the band) getting some big respect.

The best deep purple offshoot record occurred in 1971. When they got rid of their singer Rod Evans, he formed a group called Captain Beyond with the album of the same name. Captain Beyond is amazing psychedelic hard rock. Entire record is tight.

Popoff and Pardo are at it again and finally able to once again watch the episode premiere. The knowledge of Martin and Pete and their commitment to be able to do this sort of overwhelming ranking task makes for a fascinating watch. During a recent discussion with my older brother, he told me he had seen Deep Purple and Led Zeppelin separately in concert in the late 60s/early 70s. Never new that before. Likely because he didn't want his kid brother tagging along at the time. His conclusion? Deep Purple rocked and Led Zeppelin sort of sucked (and he loves the studio albums of each band). So that made this even more interesting to watch as well. Also reminds me of how many of these albums still need be visited or revisited. Looking forward to the Thin UFO Lizzy ranking to come next.

Let’s go Giants! And great topic, loving these

My obsession with Blackmore started in 1979 age 12 with Since you been gone and that took me down a rabbit hole with Purple, Whitesnake etc

Really enjoyed this show and looking forward to next week ! I wonder how many viewers have heard all 33 albums here, certainly not me. I’m going to be contrary because not only is Hughes/Thrall my favourite of these albums (that I’ve listened to) but it is my favourite studio album of all time. I remember at the time a review (probably from Sounds) said that it sounded like Pat Thrall was playing in handcuffs and then the last track on side 1 Muscle and Blood started which sounds like nothing else on the album. For years Whitesnake was my favourite band and I bought every album that had David Coverdale singing on it. I always preferred Northwinds to White Snake although neither is very good and I rank Play Me Out much higher. The “album” that Martin referred to with the Snakebite EP on one side and (the best) songs from Northwinds on the other is pretty good. The first album I ever bought was Futureshock, when it was “new” and the first proper concert I ever attended was Gillan on the Double Trouble tour, although as far as I can remember the album wasn’t released when I saw them. Neither Martin or Pete mentioned the song “Sunbeam” but I couldn’t get the riff out of my head even though I’d only heard the song once. When we turned up at the concert I was very disappointed to find out that Bernie Tormé was no longer in the band as I’d really been looking forward to seeing him. Everybody on SoT raves about the song Mr Universe but I always preferred Fighting Man. I hadn’t listened to Fighting Man for years and played it a couple of years ago, I thought to myself how the **** did I prefer David Coverdale over Ian Gillan ? Corridors of Power - just immense !

Stargazer is one of those songs that will live forever.

Tommy Bolin's "Private Eyes" is one of my all-time favorite albums, and I think it benefits from its musical diversity. It is definitely in my top 5. Also, love the PAL-Malice in Wonderland album a lot. Favorite Whitesnake album would be "Come and Get It." Of course, "Rainbow Rising" is a classic, but my favorite Rainbow song is "Man on a Silver Mountain" from the debut.

Good to see such love for Down To Earth from Martin. That came out when I was just starting to get interested in hard rock and immediately became my favorite album (and Rainbow my favorite group, later supplanted by Deep Purple). Born Again is also a favorite; first time I saw it in the store, I was floored by the portraits on the back cover: "What? The guy from Deep Purple is singing for Black Sabbath?" It deserves the fanatical cult following that it has gained over the years.

Deep Purple offshoots truly shaped future rock. Thank God they changed lineups to develop all these great albums. Each of those groups spurred on other good groups, like Plant P when Tony Carey left Rainbow. The Deep Purple family tree is very full and bared a bunch of taste fruit.

Good discussion, I think Deep Purple has produced so much excellent and varied music, both as band and through the various offshoots. Love Rainbow but Gillan were my favourite Purple spin-off, all talented musicians and they had loads of energy plus a unique image and sound. It's weird the way they've almost been forgotten despite the success they had at the time. All five of their studio albums are good to excellent - six if you include the Japanese Album.

I agree..Captain Beyond is the greatest album ever recorded..even when I play it now, it's stunning..amazed at what those musicians created. Bobby Caldwell was the best..blew away Ginger,BonhamCozy..all of them.

Pete, MLB has a weird schedule in the first few weeks of the season....with extra days off....so they can quickly make up the inevitable early rain postponements. The Mets (and my Phillies) were originally scheduled off today and - lo and behold - they were rained-out yesterday so they're playing today instead. Great show/subject today. I like Rainbow even more than DP, so you can guess what's at the top of my rankings on this list!

Hey Pete and Martin, don't know if you guys take recommendations but crossing over this idea with the 2000s albums of Opeth, Dream Theater, Porcupine Tree and Mastodon piques my interests and I know your big fans of those bands, thanks.

"Rising" is one of the best albums ever IMHO!

So much great music created by DP alumni. My faves are RAINBOW -LLRNR / 'Rising', WHITESNAKE - CAGIt, HUGHES/THRALL and GILLAN - 'Double Trouble'. All phenomenal.

1 Rising. 2 Mr Universe. 3 Down to Earth. I never did care very much about Whitesnake, so Coverdale's solo albums rate as my favourites of his. Northwinds might make number four on my list. I like albums with a diversity of styles. It's why I can't listen to bands like Motorhead or AC/DC for more than one side of an album. Interesting point about how invested Ian Gillan was in his various projects. I think he just leaned very heavily on his writing partners to set the tone and we know he tended to summon up lyrics at the last moment. But Colin Towns was a constant factor, and main writer, between IGB and Gillan, so Ian obviously had some control over the changing direction of the band.

"Run with the Wolf" is a magnificent track, certainly up there with "Stargazer", "A Light in the Black" and "Tarot Woman" on "Rising". It's one of Dio's greatest moments.

As a young man with far to little money I managed to buy the right albums in retro. The best album is of course is Whitesnake first or is the second. It is black and hold amazing songs. Still one of my favs. Blues with hardrock is my thing. Greetings from Sweden.

My favourite album in that category is Glenn's Play Me Out. Just started watching this, hope it gets a mention :) EDIT three minutes in! And I see that Martin and I don't quite see eye to eye on that one.

Happy Easter! I have a certain soft spot for Down to Earth, since it was one of the first albums I ever bought (IIRC, for my 8th birthday in 1982). However, I don't think it's even nearly as good as MP thinks! Actually, not sure if I would rank it above Difficult to Cure or Straight Between the Eyes. "Danger Zone" (my fav), "Lost in Hollywood" and "Eyes of the World" are all terrific, "Since You Been Gone" and "All Night Long" are catchy but a bit superficial, and the rest I can't even recall.

Pete, when are you breaking out the Love Beach shirt?

Gary Moore rules

Interesting to hear Martin call a Whitesnake album a Kiss album. Check out Medicine Man and God Of Thunder. It's a bit odd that Gary Moore is included, and comes so high in Pete's list, but I don't make the rules. I love Corridors Of Power, though.

The met's suck. This is an in depth episode and I enjoy you both.

I really don't get the love for Born Again. I got it when it came out, put it in its sleeve after listening to it and threw it across my room...and I still feel the same way
