Will defer to others on Deep Purple Mk.III (wasn’t Hughes only co-lead singer on a few songs?) I guess having more than two singers is okay. 🙂 ---

Rock bands with two (or more) drummers.sup[/sup] 1. The Grateful Dead sup[/sup] defined as having two people who perform drums simultaneously on the majority of songs – no session drummers or guest musicians allowed, no albums where half the songs are played by one drummer while the other half is played by another drummer, etc. Percussionists who occasionally play drums (or bongos) is okay, but two full-time drummers in the style of Kreutzmann/Hart is preferred. ---
