Sabbath vs Purple

   Sabbath upto and including Sabotage.I Never really got into Deep Purple big time.Liked some of their stuff but they never really 'did it' for me.

I preferred Iommi's guitar style/tone to Blackmore's.I got more interested in Deep Purple when Tommy Bolin joined,albeit breifly. That said.I do have a penchant for 'Burn'.

	First 5 albums? Tough. Deep Purple by a small margin.

	Black Sabbath for me. Nothing against DP though, I just prefer Sabbath.

	Black Sabbath first 5 albums are all classic, especially Sabbath Bloody Sabbath, Master of Reality and of course Paranoid. And i think they have aged better than Purple.

	Does anyone notice that a lot of Blackmoore's riffs are good for strip clubs? His riffs are great, but he has that one style of riffage in several DP and Rainbow songs that have a strut walk kind of rhythm and they always make me think they could fit well in a strip club. Not that I've ever been to one, but thats just the impression I get sometimes. Anyways, I was just curious if anyone else got that impression.

	Black Sabbath blows Deep Purple away.. beter songs beter riffs beter everything.

	Black Sabbath? The popularity of BS (and Ozzy in particular) amazes me, but I guess they are one of those bands whose fame (and infamy) is bigger in teh USA than in their homeland. I prefer Purple, the music is more interesting to me.
	What?

	If you're basing it off the first 5 then Sabbath without a doubt. DP didn't start making an impact until their fourth, In Rock

	Tough call, but I have to go with Sabbath. They were great and hugely influential on EVERYBODY!

	I listened to both bands today which is kind of strange. but I vote Sabbath. Deep Purple's first 5 are good and all, but Sabbath's are incredible. They had power in all instrumental departments. That stuff will cut you and explode you at the same time. Deep Purple lacks that kind of power. MEGA POWER.

	Easy poll this one, Purple by a million miles. No comparison in my book, though, funnily enough, I prefer Iommi to Blackmore!

	Though I'm not really a major fan of any of these two bands, I kind of like their early outputs. And while I consider Deep Purple's output quite varied and influential, I tend to prefer Black Sabbath [and also consider their albums to be more consistent].
