#15 – Deep Purple 

Known as pioneers in heavy metal and modern hard work, Deep Purple is an English rock band that reaped terrific musical success over the years, from albums sold to awards won. The band was initially started with Chris Curtis, the drummer, contacting businessman Tony Edwards about the idea of creating a rock group. 

Obviously, Curtis’s idea turned out to be a mega success. Deep Purple is actually in the Guinness Book of World Records for being the “globe’s loudest band” for its 1972  concert at London’s Rainbow Theatre, with a sound that reached 117 decibels.
