I'd have to say Blackmore, at least on a songwriting basis. Plus, he never made the mistake of thinking he could sing. :wink:

I'm going with the Scorpions guy out of ignorance of not hearing much Deep Purple.

hmmm...

I actually think Roth is the more technically adept guitarist.
Interesting that Blackmore is sweeping it, though.

Yep, very possibly, but Ritchie wrote Stargazer. :)

I'm sad, but I have to say Ritchie... but both are really great.

Kinda with Banshee here, but I'm a little torn. Both are great, but Blackmore blew me away the first couple of times I heard him.

But Remember who is the other option:

And one gem from the 70's

And I vote Ritchie, but Uli is just incredible.

Hmmm... I'd be hard pressed myself to pick one over the other.
They are both phenomenal musicians, they both were way ahead of their peers at the time, they both had a hand in influencing what was to be known as neo-classical / shred guitar...

I'd really like to see these guys duel, not necessarily to see who wins, but it would be something to see (hear).
