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),

LOL You rock Mandi!


what do you think ....a poll...


Sun Supreme vs. Led Zep  IV vs. Paranoid vs. Machine Head...

that ought to be a good one LOL

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 Wink)

as for your Deep Purple comment: why wasn't I surprised Smile?
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!)

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.

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

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.
Perception is truth, ergo opinion is fact.

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.

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

For a reason or another I've never been too enthusiastic about Zep or Purple, but Sabbath works for me. At the moment I have the first six Ozzy albums, Past Lives and The Best of. Heaven and Hell has been on my shopping list for an eternity, perhaps I'll get around to it some day.

Well, okay, I've loved all these bands, but my love(and maybe if we talk about Led Zeppelin, we can say passion) to Deep Purple and Led zeppelin has been diluted, meanwhile I was beginning to like more and more Black Sabbath during Ozzy years. I haven't heard any bad album from that era(I think the reason for it is that I haven't heard Technical Ecstasy and Never Say Die :D). I borrowed Heaven and Hell from library one day, and in my opinion it was f**king blatant and boring, such a lame heavy rock album. I haven't heard other albums, 'cause those early albums full of burning riffage and primitive, great rock music are enough to me. And yes, in my opinion Ozzy is a great singer.

Yeah, my sentiments exactly. I'd rank them just the same. All three bands have great musicians and catchy songs, so it's kind of a tough call, but I would rank Purple first for the Lord vs. Blackmore dueling solos alone. Sabbath is one of my all time favorites, and is just so much darker and heavier than Led Zep...I like quite a few Led Zeppelin songs like "No Quarter" and "Friends," yet I find some songs like "Fool in the Rain" beyond annoying. Robert Plant's voice just really irritates me sometimes, though for some strange reason I have never found Ozzy's voice to be annoying And let's not forget that Rick Wakeman played on a Sabbath album ClapClap
