One of the greatest bands of all time, who were at their peak in the 1960's to the early 1970's. They were characterized by their heavy; riff-based music style. Their biggest hit was Smoke on the Water, but they also had hits with other songs, such as Black Night, Burn, Knocking at Your Backdoor, and Space Truckin'. Had great musicians, like Richie Blackmore, John Lord, and Roger Glover.
Deep Purple is one of the heaviest classic rock bands.
