Van Halen Vs Deep Purple is a tougher question. I understand that really it should be unequivocally Deep Purple but tbh I probably enjoy Van Halen more.

Maybe.

I love em both

Also I think our run with the great Ms. Rigby has expired.

If she never posts again she will be the greatest short splash poster in MB history.
Absolutely. The trade-offs between him and Blackmore and the way they complimented each other were beautiful.

Just my opinion
Depends on what you like and what your perspective is. I was more into Ritchie when I was younger, but I later learned to appreciate the rest of what everyone else was doing.
