One last comment (well, I don't mind keeping this going, but this is a Stones board, not DP!).
Points well taken. I did a brief google survey, and DP is considered heavy metal. I am in the minority. But I did know this before. (Same as LZ.)
Listen to "Lazy". Not Metal. Fine, just an example, and even Sabbath did a few songs that were not metal ("Changes"? "It's Alright"?).
Also, Gillan has been in DP since '94 (and, of course '70 to '73 ... and in between!). They have changed style, but (depending on your taste) are still fantastic.
Yes, his voice has suffered over the years. He does not sing some of the early challenging stuff live anymore, but he is still good. The new songs accommodate his older age voice limitations well.
Some of the minority cites their classical v. blues influence to explain why they are not heavy metal. This is just what I read.
Ritchie is in to renaissance music now. I saw him live once doing that style. Not my thing in general, but it was interesting and I am not sorry I went. This was at the Keswick Theatre. If anyone is from the Philly area you will know this is a great venue.
