Deep Purple vs Lynyrd Skynyrd

[ShadowOfTheWave]

Which band is/was superior?

[OmarBradley]

Ah, tough. Both band's have high and low periods. I can't decide.

[bacardimayne]

Deep Purple and it's not even close. Skynyrd are glorified two hit wonders.

[Powerage5]

Deep Purple by a long shot.

Deep Purple by a long shot.

Skynyrd's non-popular/non-radio single tracks from the early era are overall really great (more directed at bacardi). Purple has a lot of shit tbh, even in the early years, though I love both bands.

[Zint]

Deep Purple by a county mile so long it stretches around the fucking planet.

[Orsys]

I will have to go with Deep Purple. Child in Time still gives me chills. But love Skynyrd too.

[DR DOOM]

I much prefer Deep Purple.

[Sixes]

Skynyrd and it's not even close...it stretches all the way around the world multiple times and ends up in Long Island, home of the salami king, I'm an idiot

I'm not much of a Lynyrd Skynyrd fan but they have several hits.

[DieselDaisy]

Oh Skynyrd were great but Purple, Purple. Now, this was a band which was much better than Lead Zeppelin, Sabbath, Kiss and Aerosmith combined, yet, never received the accolades they deserved. They are still not in the HoF!

- In Rock

- Fireball

- Machine Head

- Made In Japan

- Burn

Skynyrd

[Crash Diet]

The entire Lynyrd Skynyrd died that made their biggest hits, after that they are went onto medocrism, so...


Deep Purple. The MK2 era is alone greater than LS's entire career

[Rovim]

Deep Purple.

And btw:

[moreblack]

And even today they produce some quality work, Purpendicular, Rapture Of The Deep, Now What?!, all albums worthy of being part of the catalogue.

Deep Purple.

And btw:

Blackmore's made quite the prolific second career for himself.

[ShadowOfTheWave]

There is no DP without Blackmore & Lord. They can never be "worthy", because they aren't Purple.

[moreblack]

Maybe not, but they're still bloody good albums.

[Rovim]

Just listen to "Now What?!" if you haven't already. It fuckin' rocks. They totally got the Purple vibe. Good music is good music.

''At what point do, the departed members destroy the legitimacy of a band?'' Well, that is the question.

you forgot GNR isn't GNR because SlUsh isn't there anymore

[ShadowOfTheWave]

It's not the same really. Axl was integral enough to keep it GNR, but Gillan just isn't.

[DR DOOM]

I must admit I haven't really heard much of any of the albums with Steve Morse, but Tommy Bolin was great and Don Airey's no slouch.

You have to check out at least Purpendicular. It's the perfect response for them losing Ritchie.
