Whitesnake Essentials

Between their bluesy swagger and David Coverdale's banshee wails, Whitesnake make pop-metal with a commanding edge that few of their peers have matched. The neo-Zeppelin stomp 'n' roll “Still of the Night” and the riff-fuelled arena anthem “Here I Go Again” became hits thanks to the band's unique ability to balance hooks with fierce playing. The roots of this fierceness go back to the Brits' early years; they spent their first decade bashing out lean, snarling hard rock like 1980's “Fool for Your Loving” before becoming superstars in the late '80s.
