Top 10 Deep Purple Songs With the Best Solos

The Top Ten
1 Highway Star

Awesome solo to a precious song for every metalhead, especially those who love speed metal, and every more or less fast metal subgenre.

2 Child In Time

This is perhaps the most under appreciated and unrecognized guitar solos in rock. Magnificent!

A very intense and legendary solo. I like better the live version from Made In Japan.

3 Hard Lovin' Man

2 solos - I like more the first solo but the 2nd, outro solo, is one of the longest, craziest and heaviest Blackmore solos. To the best of my knowledge, this song was the first speed metal song ever (1970, while Highway Star came out in 1972).
1) 3:40-4:45
2) 5:40-7:10

4 Pictures of Home

This song is so special and awesome. It actually has 2 guitar solos (plus 1 bass solo, and 1 keyboards solo).

5 Almost Human
6 Smoke On the Water
7 Burn

It has to be Highway Star and Child in time, but this one comes third without a doubt. I think Hotel California might've copied a part of this one. Or maybe this type of solo technique was popular, I don't know.

A very underrated early metal song.

8 Stormbringer
9 Remission Possible
10 Mitzi Dupree
The Contenders
11 Mistreated

The live version from California 1974 is also cool.

12 Hungry Daze

Again, 2 solos - I was surprised how many Deep Purple songs have 2 and more solos.

13 The Gypsy

Not fast, heavy or technical solo but it's very beautiful and sounds like the perfect solo for this song.

14 Sometimes I Feel Like Screaming

This solo was a very good solo.

15 Son of Alerik

It was mostly based on solo/solos.

16 This Time Around / Owed to 'G'
17 The Cut Runs Deep
18 Knocking at Your Back Door

Ritchie Blackmore did it again - 2 solos!

19 Soldier of Fortune
20 Lazy

Not including this is criminal

This should be no.4

21 Uncommon Man
22 Wasted Sunsets
23 No No No
24 Black Night
