They act more like a cult band, constantly touring and making music regardless of sales of approval. They are kind of a funny band in that way, Deep Purple is just on the fringe of being considered one of the all time best bands of all time in the minds of most, yet they are also similar to other cult rock and roll bands who have a devout following and are largely ignored by the mainstream. I wonder if the constant change over of lead singers and the large gap of time where Deep Purple did not exist or if any of the other inconsistencies in their line up and presence may have harmed Deep Purple in some culturally successful way. Most bands would be unable to produce nineteen studio albums with all of these difficulties confronting them.ĭespite plenty of critic appeal and a fine stable of radio hits Deep Purple is rarely mentioned among the all time greats of classic rock and have yet to be inducted into the rock and roll hall of fame.

Most bands don’t have four lead singers, four lead guitarist, three bass players and two keyboard players over its history. Looking backwards Deep Purple was a troubled band. ![]()
