白蛇乐团是英国的一个摇滚乐团,由David Coverdale在离开深紫乐团后于1978年创立.早期乐风与深紫乐团的作品相似,然而到了1980年代中期乐风逐渐转向 较商业化的流行风格,穿着上也逐渐向当时流行的华丽风格靠拢.早期四张专辑皆入围英国前十名,1987年发行的同名专辑Whitesnake使他们得到成功的最顶点.

Whitesnake are a rock band formed in England in 1978 by David Coverdale, after his departure from his previous band Deep Purple. Their early material has been compared by critics to the blues rock of Deep Purple, but they slowly began moving toward a more commercially accessible rock style. By the turn of the decade, the band's commercial fortunes changed and they released a string of UK top 10 albums, Ready an' Willing (1980), Come an' Get It (1981), Saints & Sinners (1982) and Slide It In (1984), the last of which was their first to chart in the US and is certified 2x platinum.
