Various Artists - Rock Classics-The Heavyweights (2CD)

2CD

Deep Purple are just one of the exciting bands showcased on this collection, alongside other purveyors of British progressive rock, like Jethro Tull, Whitesnake and Ten Years After. These tracks are powerful milestones of rock and include many passionate performances and hard driving rockers. Some 38 unforgettable anthems have clearly stood the test of time and show how the rock music of the early 1970s was a cornucopia of ideas and inspirational playing. It's not all heavy metal either, but a blend of ballads, pop hits and rockers.
