2Highway Star
This song is the epitome of rock and roll. Anyone that likes speed metal can thank Highway Star.
This song includes everything - great organ, great guitar, great vocals...
The Made In Japan version, of course. The energy and momentum of that performance is absolutely flooring.

3Child In Time
one of the best, if not the best song ever
starting off softly, you can hear the increasing power and emotion in the screaming, leading to the solo(witch is the best ever) continuing to increase in power
now expcting it to climax, you will only find it comming to an abrupt stop
still bown away by the sheer power of the solo and confused about the abrupt end, the first half of the song softly kicks in again
but this time afer the screaming it is transitioning to the outro in a typical Deep Purple way
now in the outro the screaming starts again, but now its different, sounding like its getting more and more out of control as its progresing
almost at the end you will hear the extreme uncontrolled insane powerfull screaming climaxing this musical masterpiece
this is what it felt like the first time listening to Child In Time
and it still feels the same every time I listen to it
now that is music

Perfect mixture of heavy metal and hard rock. Tons better than Smoke on the water. Actually this song should be compared to Stairway to Heaven or November rain.
Most epic song ever!
Sends chills over my spine EVERY TIME I listen to it

4Burn
Amazing song! Great drumming they just blew their tops in this song... It should be on the top along with smoke on the water
The drumming in burn is the best drumming in a rock song ever. Smoke on the water, highway star and this song HAVE to be in top three! So I hope the people that haven't vote yet will follow me and vote for burn. IF NOT: I think the damned women will BURN you!
MK3 my favorite :)
All marks of Deep Purple rock!

5Soldier of Fortune
In my opinion, this one share the 1st place with child in time. Do not forget that popularity of a song does not show that it is the best.
One of the greatest slow rocks tracks ever. Definitely belongs to first place.
great intro and great vocals

6Perfect Strangers
excellent riff great chorus and gillan's voice is at its best I believe that this should share the first place with smoke on the water and hush
The most underrated song ever... Epic song with a riff better than smoke on the water... And there's not a single doubt about their vocal excellence
Love love love this song! My favorite of all time!

7Lazy
My fellow rockers. WHY is this masterpiece so low? Ian Gillan's vocals here is perfectly timed and perfectly uttered and the bluesy piano soloing of Paice is unmatched. Don't forget the blues-based guitar solo of Sir Ritchie Blackmore. ! This should be number 2 or 3 cause it contains the DEEP PURPLE spirit and style. God damn you guys.
I constantly practice that wicked Pull-off part of the first solo. Wow, what a masterpiece this song truly is. My favourite for sure.
LAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAZY!
second best deep purple song, next to Child In Time
why is this so low?
should at least be above Smoke On The Water, that song is thier best KNOWN song, but not thier best
also why arent Anya, Burn, Gypsy's Kiss on this list

9Sometimes I Feel Like Screaming
I think the song has the best intro. amazing voice of gillan
This song is full of feelings. It's one of the best musical compositions of "Deep Purlpe". The guitar solo is truely epic and has reminds me at a solo from Dream Theater (What ist really virtuosly).
I love the solo by Steve Morse. It is impossible to get more feeling in one guitar solo than Steve Morse got here. I can listen to it for hours...

10Knocking At Your Back Door
this song has a different feel. the solo and and vocals take you back to 80's era. this is one of my favorite songs
Such an EPIC intro, an EPIC solo, EPIC vocals (as expected from Gillan). Soo its an EPIC song.

25Son of Alerik
One of the most awesome hidden tracks in history. I've heard this song back when I was a little child, early steps into music. Blew my mind. 10 minutes of total epic music travel through space with a smile on your face.
This song is quite simply ten minutes of Awesomness. A absolute MASTERPIECE by deep purple. This song should have gotten MUCH more recognition. This and Solitaire are definitely deep purples most underrated songs. Listen to them and you will see for yourself. Son of Alerik dhould definitely be Nunber 1. Never get tired of listening to it.
