Woah, close shave here, I thought Purple would wipe the floor with it. Not that Sabbath aint great, but at their peak Purple are just that little bit more special.
Would you like to watch TV, or get between the sheets, or contemplate the silent freeway, would you like something to eat?

I prefer Purple, the music is more interesting to me.


and in Greece too...Wink
they are considered as the fathers of metal, which makes them probably
the most popular in the country (many metal maniacs in my homeland) Evil%20Smile
Deep Purple are big also, but not at the same level
(I admire Ritchie's riffs, his Rainbow ones are even more unique IMHO)

This one goes the other way round of the poll of Sabbath vs Purple this one I vote to Sabbath. Sabbath first 2 albums and Sabbath Bloody sabbath are amazing.

Evan's albums are not bad but they're not quite hard rock like gillan's albums or coverdale's.

Sabbath for me....

Can't understand what's so speciall from Evans/Simper era. I have their 3 albums and I really like BOT and DP but they don't reach non of Gillan or Coverdale's albums.

If I voted for Purple I would do it just for Fireball. Black Sabbath's debut and Paranoid and Sabbath Bloody Sabbath are fu**ing masterpices of hard rock. Deep Purple's BOT and DP are very good but not masterpieces. Only Fireball reaches that. And like my review of In Rock, In Rock will never take a place on my heart of hard rock.

Actually, unless my memory is totally shot (always a possibility) In Rock was the 5th DP album, after Shades, Taliesyn, DP (with the Bosch cover), and Concerto.
 
In any case, for me In Rock trumps all of Sabbath's first five.

it was the 5th Clap and Deep Purple hit it hard from the first album in early 68. If you want to measure impact by sales... and why not.. people can't listen if they ain't buying it.  Shades was ..what a top 20 or 30 album. Sure sales were driven by Hush..but  listen to that album... I'll be damned if that isn't heavy prog.  Not to mention Lord was right with Emerson in wanting to bring classical and rock together in those days before prog really became prog.

I'm most familiar with Mark II Deep Purple, which is simply an awesome line-up. Mark I and IV have some cool songs as well. Really, the only Sabbath I bother with is their first two albums, and sometimes the third.

So... I think I made a good decision on my vote.
