Might want to also check out Uriah Heep. Sometimes can be prog other times similar to Purple. Some stuff like July Morning and Easy Livin are quite heavy.
Check out a band called Crack The Sky - Animal Notes and Safety in Numbers as well as the self titled debut are good. Sort of a prog hard rock band. I really enjoy them and have quite a few of their albums, but AN and SiN are the ones that continually find their way back to the turntable.
Streetheart was a pretty good Canadian band as well. First album released late 70's. My fave Drugstore Dancer came out in 81.

:up: Damn right!!
I would add:
Johnny Winter - Captured Live - Johnny is SMOKIN!! Triumph - S/T, Rock N' Roll Machine, and Progressions of Power - Emmett kicked ass on these early albums Blackfoot - Strikes - Train, Train and Highway Song are on this... nuff said Ted Nugent - S/T - Among Ted's best work Moxy - Ridin' High - Kind of if you took early Aerosmith and put Brian Johnson on vocals Sweet - Desolation Boulevard - Tons of great guitar from a band trying to move out of the pop band image. Bachman Turner Overdrive - Four Wheel Drive - This and Not Fragile have some of the heaviest riffs ever. Mother's Finest - S/T and Another Mother Further - Funk Rock with lots of guitar Al Di Meola - Elegant Gypsy - Jazz Rock Fusion guitar at it's best. Al is just ridiculously good. Al Di Meola, John McLaughlin, and Paco DeLuca - Friday Night in San Francisco - You will sell your guitars after listening to this. Aldo Nova - S/T - Poppy, with lots of guitar Early Heart - Their early stuff is easily their best Early Pat Benatar - Neil Giraldo burns it up on the early stuff Nazareth - Snaz - Nazareth sounded much fuller and tighter live. Manny and Billy Rankin are GREAT! Pat Travers - Go For What You Know - The album that made Pat famous. Robin Trower - Bridge of Sighs - If you like Trower, this is in his top two or three.
Oh, and forgot one from the early 70s, Focus - Hocus Pocus - Jan Akkerman was never better.
I think sometimes if you try to play too technically, you lose something in the music - like you're playing for another guitar player. I like to play for people. The more sophisticated and mature guitarists become, the more they go with the feel.

I'm also a big fan of Robin Trower . Bridge of Sighs is a must have .
Get your hands on some Pat Travers too .
Lets not forget Frank Marino ....The Live album rules .

Seconded. Rush's 70s output is some of the greatest rock ever recorded IMO.
