◇ image via WikipediaDeep Purple
Deep Purple is a Progressive rock and Psychedelic rock act. Their sound grew out of The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Jimi Hendrix, The Rolling Stones and The Animals. Those roots explain a lot about how Deep Purple arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Rainbow, Whitesnake, Ian Gillan, UFO and Thin Lizzy, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Motörhead, Rush, Quiet Riot, Alice in Chains and Daniel Balavoine, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 194 connections around Deep Purple, reaching back through The Beatles and forward to Motörhead.
