It was the self-titled seventh studio album, Whitesnake, that gave the band it’s greatest years. It sold upwards of eight million copies in the US alone. It was Whitesnake that generated several hits that included “Still of the Night”, “Here I Go Again”, “Is This Love”, and “Give Me All Your Love”. This gave Whitesnake lasting power in the charts and great accessibility via concert shows.
