Lindy3953 08/04/2009
Should already be there. All you youngsters repeat after me: "ROCK and ROLL!"
Daegw 08/04/2009
Deep Purple is one of the formers of the Hardrock genre. They have made several classics like Smoke on the Water, Child in time and Black Night. Why aren't they in yet?
SuziQueue 08/03/2009
The best band ever.

Won't it be great to see Ritchie on stage with Jon Lord in 2010!
MacDaNife 07/03/2009
easilly the most important rock band excluded by the Hall of Fame members.

Deep Purple are the ultimate pioneers of Rock & Roll. Purple should have been in the Hall 10 years ago, they have withered several line-up changes and are still making new music, and having very successful tours to this day. Besides having the alltime number #1 anthem of the ages (Smoke On The Water) they have so many hits that it seems that maybe to get into the Hall is like anything else in society, (WHO YOU KNOW) As far as I'm concerned there is no Band currently that are not in the Rock&RollHall Of Fame more deserving than Deep Purple, it is the ULTIMATE DISGRACE to ClassicRock Fans everywhere & the R&R Hall Of Fame!

The greatest band in the world...not in the hall of fame
ChildNwinter 06/12/2009
Great rockers should have been considered decades ago.

Great rock band.
TheBAND 05/25/2009
Sensational rockers.
TheGreat1 05/23/2009
Rock as hard as Black Sabbath, came on the scene long before Metallica, more chart success than Patti Smith, more popular than Bobby Womack.
nabe 04/29/2009
Richie Blackmore!
TintedWindow 04/26/2009
It was kind of Metallica to give their respect to bands such as DEEP PURPLE in the induction speech at the Hall this year. Some would argue that an Induction does not add up to a hill of beans. maybe, still Id like to see DP get in before any one else, an there are probably many deserving as those that are getting in. Not sure what criteria the Hall Board of Directors uses. One could easily make a case for bands like Purple being more influential than Bobby Womack or Wands Jackson couldn't they?
devasic1 04/23/2009
Hush and Smoke on the Water will live on as long as people listen to rock music. With Zeppelin and Sabbath already in, what's taking so long getting the third part of the heavy metal influence trinity into the HOF?

Ok...Let me get this right....Deep Purple is not in an association that considers itself a "rock and roll hall of fame", but madonna is?????? Next thing you'll tell me is that Rush isn't in there either...or Yes......or Emerson Lake and Palmer, or Dire Straits. If anyone really wants to make themselves frustrated or nauseated, make your OWN list of bands and performers that are eligible and not in there..Now c'mon...who are we kidding here? If you want to throw a hodge podge of musicians and bands together and call it "the really good musical museum", ok.go for it....but for christ's sake....don't try and kid us by calling it the Rock and Roll hall of Fame...i mean...Run DMC is a pioneer of the hip hop movement, granted, but rockers????I would love to support the R n R Hall and the Foundation, but I cannot in good conscience do so until they correct some of these rediculously glaring omissions.
take403 03/16/2009
I'm surprised these guys aren't in. Almost every incarnation has had some hits, so they really cannot say "This incarnation is in, all others are out!" That would be discriminating. The lineup of Ian Gillan, Ian Pace, Roger Glover, Jon Lord and Richie Blackmore are the most popular, but still Ron Evans had contributed a lot on the 1st 2 releases and David Coverdale contributed a lot from Burn to Come Taste The Band. They also had one of the most successful reunion albums/tours in rock history, not to mention being listed in the Guiness Book Of World Records for being one of the loudest bands. And, most importantly, there are the songs- the chilling "Child In Time," the prog-metal "Knockin' At Your Backdoor," the story-telling "Strange Kind Of Woman," "Burn," "Hush," "Highway Star" and their anthem "Smoke On The Water." Easily identifiable by the G-Bb-C guitar opening, it needs no introduction. Come on, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, don't let Deep Purple remain Perfect Strangers in your hall any more!"We ended up at the grand hotel, it was empty cold and bare, but with the rolling truck stone thing just outside making our music there"
vivazappa 02/23/2009
Get everyone who ever played in the band, line um' up on the RnR HOF stage and let them do three hours...AND YOU WON'T EVEN NEED TO INDUCT ANYONE ELSE THAT YEAR!
lukyboi999 12/02/2008
As Scott sais, this is one of the best 70's hard rock bands ever, but not only of the 70's! Think about Perfect Strangers (1984), The Battle Rages On (1993), all great albums! Of Course the 70's were their best years, with Machine Head, Burn, Fireball etc. they MUST be in!
moreguitars 10/04/2008
They should be in the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame. Until they are, The hall is a joke
spurs1 07/29/2008
It's insanity that Purple the most individulayy talented and collectively talented (not to mention influential) Hard Rock band of allm time are not in the Hall of Fame...I guess the press never did like them much. This proves it!!
