Wow, so glad you ranked Slaves and Masters higher than most other reviewers. I personally love it and was one of the few who bought it when it came out, (thinking this was the future lineup for good). I hope you start an album collection, CD collection etc., (if music is important to you). It's probably not going to be available decades from now, and although you could probably care less about that right now, when the age comes for your to nostalgically think of your youth, and re-experience the music you loved, it's not going to be there. With CDs, I just rip the music, save it to computer, then I can use bluetooth to pipe it over to my vintage stereo receiver (that has a bluetooth receiver connected to it) copy it to my cellphone, etc. And I have decades of CDs in protective storage, each one in a plastic sleeve, jewel case and all, and boxed up. Music was super important back in the 80s when I was teen, and we all flocked to music stores in the mall, but I'm one of the few that actually collected their music. Others can't remember what they even listened to back then. And, with Streaming Services that's definitely going to be the case for today's youth in the their future. If music is important to you, collect in on CD, or Vinyl if you have a bigger budget and don't mind all the difficulty involved in playing it (but you'll want to supplement streaming services with vinyl I bet). I do have their latest albums including =1, and glad Ian Gillian came back. Great reviews, thanks doing these!
Leftovers; check out a single Emaretta from the Evans period, as well as Mandrake Root live and Bird Has Flown BBC redone in the Gillan era. Your line up was pretty much same as mine.
My current feelings goes a little like this (1 is the most important for me currently, and 23 the least important): 1: Perfect Strangers 2: Machine Head 3: Rapture Of The Deep 4: Purpendicular 5: Burn 6: Stormbringer 7: In Rock 8: House of Blue Light 9: Slaves and Masters 10: The Battle Rages On 11: Bananas 12: Fireball 13.

@@laitaa Hi! You have The Battle Rages On twice on the list, places 4 and 10. And you miss the album Purpendicular. It's nice that you have the same number one as me and you also like the odd albums from the late 80s and early 90s.
@@laitaa I like all Whitesnake albums but "Lovehunter" is my fave. 🎵 PS: Saints & sinners - good choice. :) The one big difference in our DP rankings is that you like "Rapture Of The Deep" (I don't) and I like "The Book Of Taliesyn" (which is low on your list).
@@PiotrLangtvedt It's because I like Gillan band, Colin Towns, Don Airey, and I play keyboards. :-) The first 3 DP albums and the Concerto I haven't listened since the 80's. So the order is not very significant - I don't really listen to them.
I'm 63 and I am a massive Deep Purple fan. I agree with most your rank I put Shades of a bit higher , Bananas last, your middle section is good but =1 needs to be higher. Machine Head and in Rock are 1&2. Cheers.
This is how it is: 1. Machine Head 2. Stormbringer 3. Fireball 4. Come Taste The Band 5. In Rock 6. Purpendicular In Rock not above there despite having couple of best 5 DP songs ever because you have to look at the whole album, how songs blend together and the overall feeling of the whole album. Top 5 best Deep Purple Songs: Child In Time Hard Lovin Man Highway Star Lazy You Keep On Moving.
@@kg0173 Nice to see Stormbringer so high on your list. It's a wonderful album with a lot of great deep cuts. One of the greatest songs for me is Anya live from Stuttgart 1993 with the improvised middle section by Blackmore.
@@PiotrLangtvedt I think of all DP albums I have listened to, Stormbringer the most. I like Anya, especially from Come Hell Or High Water Live album. I didn't care about new stuff back then and accidentally bought this tape and enjoyed it. After that I started to appreciate more Deep Purple later albums as well. But of course nothing can beat Machine Head, Stormbringer and Fireball to me. Its actually cool that people like different albums. That means there are DP albums I still have for me to discover in the future.
@@kg0173 This is the same version of Anya. Live in Stuttgart is the full unedited concert, and Come Hell Or High Water are the highlights from that concert. I think Deep Purple never made a bad album. Maybe it's the line up changes, the band sounds always fresh.
It doesn't make top 10 to me. I believe once the hype will pass the =1 album will settle around Abandon, Bananas, Now What, The House Of Blue light. Since the Strangers Purpendicular is their strongest album and very underrated, but I see more and more people start to appreciate it. Just listen to it.
@@kg0173 I completely agree, good point. This new album is just like those other lesser albums you mentioned. I hate to criticise Purple, but it's just not a good album.
In my opinion, "Purpendicular" is their best album. Production is excellent, and every song catches your attention. Everything about this album is great, from the first to the last song.
Great: Machine Head, Burn, Fireball, In Rock Very Good: Perfect Strangers, Stormbringer, The Battle Rages On, House of Blue Light Good. Who Do We Think We Are, Come Taste the Band, =1 OK: Slaves and Masters, Purpendicular, Bananas, Abandon For collectors: The Book Of Taliesyn, Deep Purple, Shades Of Deep Purple Forgettable: Rapture Of The Deep, Whoosh, Now What, Turning To Crime, Infinite PS. Yes, =1 is an insanely good album, their best in 30+ years

@@kg0173 Thanks. 🙂 Yes, In Rock and Machine Head are overplayed for me. I still like them but I don't listen to them as often as before. I always hear those songs anyway while listening to DP's live albums. 😄 There are only two albums I don't like: Concerto and Rapture. Concerto is boring and Rapture has bad sound.
You have included the studio albums only and thus not the live albums, such as Made In Japan (in many ways their best) and a few other live albums. Nor the many DVDs of the period with Steve Morse. I find your selection very strange. In particular, by my choice: Come taste the band surely should be at the bottom of the list by far. Slaves and masters probably next bottom of the list for me. House of blue light and Who do we think we are were not that great..... High on my list: Perfect Strangers, Machine Head, The battle rages on, Rapture of the Deep. Infinite, so many really.
@@philipveerman7526 a lot of people don’t include live albums in album rankings and I’m sure they’re live albums are great. You’re of course gonna find my ranking strange cuz it’s my opinion and it’s cool that we all have different opinions and rankings for these great bands!
Good video, I was going over some of your other videos and it looks you you have a pretty diverse music palette which is awesome, good music is good music regardless of the genre especially for such a young guy.

In my world: 1. In Rock
That's just reality. People who were there know.

She's too young to rate deep purple's album, when you listen them since 1968 you have a better opinion on albums
