LOL, one of my old boses loved DP

at one point in time every kid that wanted to learn rock guitar first thing they learned was the basic chords of smoke in the water

also DP spawned into Rainbow with Blackmore and Whitesnake with David Coverdale and Ian Guillan amazing work in Black Sabbat

They also did one if not the first rock bands orchertal colaborations with the royal philarmonic orchesta with a John Lord composition

amazing amount of talent in that band history
