For me and many people around, which are true fans of Deep Purple, Come Taste The Band (1975-1976), (not the best one) was the last not as much commercial album of the group.
After that “we get together to make some money”.
right now i’m listening to my wife’s song, “do this. do that” and after i do all of it, another song” you do not do anything , jut complain” she sings horrible songs. i wish i had a time machine. i know exactly what i’d do with it.
