Zep for their hippy mysticism, Purple for Ian Gillain's voice and The Sab's for "Into The Void".

From this three - Deep Purple definitely. Mmm... I love Blackmore's guitar! But I wanna say thet Uriah Heep is better than Led Zep and Sabbath combined.

No matter what you may think of Purple and Sabs (and they've both had their moments), Zep belong in a category all of their own. The first 4 albums are just so important, it's impossible to imagine a world without them.

I would have said Deep Purple six months ago, but now I would have to go with Black Sabbath.

I can't deny Led Zeppelin their due, such large amount of fantastic music has been put out by them during their existence. Not to underestimate the importance of Sabbath and Purple who are also great bands, but I find it hard to compare them with Led Zeppelin.

Tough one, indeed...
Would've been tougher if the Sabbath album was Master of Reality, Sabbath Bloody Sabbath or Sabotage (even Never Say Die would've served well  )
as for your Deep Purple comment: why wasn't I surprised  ? I think I'll have to regret that I mentioned in Jon Lord thread that I usually disagreed with you... Here I'm totally in line with you! (although the 4 Sabbath albums I mentioned above, along with Paranoid, might present a strong case for Sabbath!) DP has much more prog (and magnificent!) songs and albums than both others...
As for LZ, it is astonishing that they're here since they only have a dozen (or little more) prog (related) songs, and Black Sabbath has at least two entire albums (Bloody Sabbath and Never Say Die, mind you, like it or not...) which are totally in Heavy Progressive and Jazz Rock veins (not to mention Wakey's quite influential existence in the former), but they're not even being considered for addition!!!
Edit: Hacketeer, DP is alsı great post '73! Don't be distracted by the awful effort WDWTWA... Check out Burn and the glorious keyboard solos in the title track, for instance! (and despite all the funk Hughes & Coverdale brought, the sound is still great!) Stormbringer and Come Taste the Band have their moments too!

Listen to Turkish psych/prog; you won't regret:
Baris Manco,Erkin Koray,Cem Karaca,Mogollar,3 Hürel,Selda,Edip Akbayram,Fikret Kizilok,Ersen (and Dadaslar) (but stick with the '70's, and 'early 80's!)

There was one major advantage or reason that Zep was able to build such a dedicated fan base - from the start the albums would be spaced out; no 6 month release schedule, no major media blitzes, and once they were established, the concerts were rationed, i.e. no 300 gig tours of America every year. Purple put out 8 albums in 4 years, & Blackmore has been quoted as saying that maybe, just maybe, if they'd been able to have a breather, a break from each other after the Machine Head tour, the MKII version might have stuck together much longer. With Sabbath, well, their management made sure they were kept busy & when not busy, occupied (i.e. stoned or high),

Black Sabbath - Their first 4 albums (without them the heavy metal genre probably would have been much different) and the albums with Dio are all classics.

As we all know, respected Mr. Whistler; "non-commercial" does not come to mean "prog" or "prog-related" at all; if you need proff, check out the very Wakey's post-'82 stuff  (I extended the period because I find some impressive parts in both "1984" and "Rock'n'Roll Prophet" albums...) until 1999.
As for Sabbath; their progressiveness is not limited to Wakey IMHO; there's also great stuff in -especially- Never Say Die (jazz-rock inclinations), Master of Reality, Sabotage, Paranoid, etc. albums (in almost anything with Ozzy ) But Raffaella makes it clear... No chance in the near future; so keep your precious Sabbath album reviews in your safe until that time comes (eventually )
