I know they are 2 very different bands, but also very similar. Which one of these 70's powerhouses do you prefer, if any?
I definitley like Deep Purple, they were more coherent song writers, and had 1 lead singer for most all there songs ( meaning Gilliam and Coverdale always sang lead when they were with the band ), and BOC utilized many different singers, even though Eric Bloom was always the "lead" singer.
I would go with DP, but I'm also biased to the English bands of the 60's and 70's and find them to be completely superior to American artists in that time frame.
