From the box of Brother Craig goodies, here we have an album I already own (and that’s quite alright).
Deep Purple’s 1984 effort Perfect Strangers was exactly what I needed to hear right now. The reunited classic line-up of Ian Gillan, Ritchie Blackmore, Jon Lord, Roger Glover and Ian Paice offered up the rawk as only they could. There were only two singles: Knocking At Your Back Door, and Perfect Strangers.
Here’s the whole thing:

It got #2 spot on my top riffs of the 80s list for a reason (it was probably the riff). Hell of a song.

“Knocking at Your Back Door” is the best song on the album. Love Ritchie’s guitar solo on it.
