1977 - His first solo album! Contains the song "Whitesnake" that gave the name to his group. It's an excellent rocker just like "Sunny Days", however this is a quite diverse recording as evidenced by "Celebration", "Peace Loving Man", and the awesome ballad "Hole In The Sky". The original version of the epic "Blindman" is here as well which was later re-recorded for "Ready 'An Willing".

1978 - Their bedut E.P. Only the first four songs come from it while the rest are taken from his second solo album "Northwinds". The highlight here is definitely the rocker "Bloody Mary" and the soulful ballad "Ain't No Love In The Heart Of The City". This is the only recording that features Solley on keyboards.

1979 - Awesome sophomore effort! The songwriting is top notch starting with "Long Way From Home", it gets better and better! "Medicine Man" is one of their best songs! Marsden is back on vocals on "Outlaw" and the album closes with the short ballad "We Wish You Well". Guitarist Moody plays some killer slide guitar on "You 'An Me". Last recording with Dowle on drums.

1978/80 - Two awesome live recordings in one! The first was recorded in 1978 and still featured Dowle on drums. Marsden plays an excellent extended solo during their version of the Deep Purple classic "Mistreated"! The other concert comes from June '80 and includes Paice. Highlights are "Come On", and "Fool For Your Loving". Moody plays an extended slide guitar solo in "Lovehunter".

1982 - The band starts to rock harder! New guitar player Galley injected new energy to a lot of these tunes. Just listen to "Young Blood", "Saints & Sinners", and "Rough 'An Ready". Paice's drumming is really tight but he left after this recording! Includes the original versions of "Here I Go Again" and "Crying In The Rain" which I prefer to the later remakes. Bassist Murray leaves temporarily.

1984 - The US release remixed by Keith Olsen. A returning Murray redubbed the bass parts while John Sykes redubbed most of the guitar work from Moody. The original running order of the songs was rearranged! Try to get the UK release, or get both, so you can compare them! Coverdale was really determined to conquer the US market! The band's direction/sound starts to shift...

1987 - This is it! Their biggest selling album to date! Not really a favorite of mine honestly. The songwriting is well crafted and the playing is tight but Coverdale decided that the band was going to mimic the sound of hair metal! If you don't mind the change there's plenty of highlights: "Still Of The Night", the remakes of "Here I Go Again" and "Crying In The Rain" and "Bad Boys".

1989 - Their last offering. Pretty much continues where the previous one left off. My least favorite album with quite a few weak numbers. The guitarist this time was Steve Vai. Some notable songs are "Judgment Day", "The Deeper The Love", "Sailing Ships", and "Wings Of The Storm" with a cool solo from Vai. The remake of "Fool For Your Loving" is good...only if you like the late 80's sound that is!

1994 - A compilation that gathers material from the last three albums from the Geffen label: "Slide It In" (US version), the self-titled one from 1987, and "Slip Of The Tongue". Far from the best compilation around but fans should get this one for the previously unreleased songs: "Looking For Love", "You're Gonna Break My Heart Again", "Sweet Lady Luck", and the radio version of "Here I Go Again".

2003 - A very good compilation that mixes the band material with Coverdale's solo work and his Coverdale/Page project. A lot of underrated cuts are included like "Love To Keep You Warm", "Hit 'An Run", and "Victim Of Love". One of the better choices to get familiar with the group!

2006 - A better choice than the previous one as it mixes the two eras but it favors the more popular Geffen material!

2008 - Their newest studio recording in years! Only Coverdale remains from previous line-ups... How good is it in comparison with the past?... How good is the chemistry between the new players?... Is David's voice still in fine form? Well... I don't know! I haven't listened to it yet!!!!!!!
