Perfect Strangers - Deep Purple

Purple's second (of three) masterpieces (the first being Machine Head - the third comes later). Deep Purple reunited in the mid 80's with the classic 70's (Machine Head era) Purple lineup, and produced this. A brilliant album - even now, 20 years later. It holds up very well, and in my opinion, is Machine Head's equal, though I know a lot of Purple fans don't agree with that.

At the time it was new, I really wanted to detest the album, as Ian Gillan had left Black Sabbath to reform Purple and make this album. Couldn't hate it, it's brilliant.
