RNR hall of lame

I agree with reader James Gemmell about Deep Purple. "Smoke" was the first song learned on guitar for 90% of new players from the 1970s on. Richie Blackmore is an amazing, underrated guitarist (as good as Page, at least!) and Ian Gillan has THE rock and roll voice. Almost everyone that has been apart of Deep Purple has been a phenominal musician. Don't get me started on John Lord either...
