After Deep Purple spilt up for awhile, they all formed some pretty good bands. Which is your favorite?

Whitesnake overall, but Dio-era Rainbow ranks very high as well. Gillan was great, especially when it was GILLAN-the band. The one-off Black Sabbath album was fantastic as well!

I was just about to ask that.

I vote for Rainbow (Dio era especially) by the way.

I thought maybe there was some "six degrees of separation" connecting Deep Purple and Badlands that I wasn't aware of.

I love rainbow but i have to go with Whitesnake. Before the hair bands starting coming out they played some great rockish metal blues. Ready an Willing, S/t, Saints and Sinners, and Slide it In are all fabulous cds.

No, I just saw "Gillian" and brain farted. I was thinking of Ray Gillian, not Ian. lol!

Whitesnake.

Whitesnake because they were more consistent than Rainbow.

Gillan era Sabbath? Really? That's an odd choice. They made one album with 7 songs with vocals. Hmm.

I wasn't going to add it, but since there was the whole Born Again appreciation thread, I put it in there.

Ahh, I getcha. Although wasn't Ray's last name "Gillen," not "Gillian?"

Whatever.

Whitesnake, no question. Rainbow is a pretty distant second.

Rainbow, although that Sabbath album was hard to ignore.

Rainbow for me, though I like some of the others.

Also Glenn Hughes-fronted Sabbath.

There's also Captain Beyond ... kindof a related band.
