Avoiding The Swan Song
I have always considered Deep Purple to be right up there with Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath for what they gave in the 70's to further the development of a Heavy Blues/Hard Rock sound that influenced the Heavy Metal direction. For me this is cast in stone but I read a question recently were someone asked ... Are Deep Purple being squeezed out in favour of Zeppelin and Sabbath as the big three becomes the TWO. Purple being left out more and more as the accolades and celebrations are showered upon the others. This got to me because I have felt for a long while that DP deserve more respect from the music industry and the shakers and dealers that call the shots.
