I probably listen to Led Zeppelin the most out of these but I like Black Sabbath the best, mainly b/c of their first album.

Four great bands, Heep just ahead of the others thanks to Ken Hensley's Hammond work.

Deep Purple was an easy one for me.  Deep Purple is much more diverse than the others.  Symphonic, hard rock...borderline punk on "In Rock", metal...jazz/rock fusion and avant garde(especially their live material) and bluesy.  Everything I love about prog.rock and music in general is in Deep Purple.  Some albums are stronger than others, but I manage to find some gold nuggets in their turkeys.  Might be why my radio programme is titled "The Purple Room". LOL
 
I would've thrown in Thin Lizzy in this poll as well.  I think Thin Lizzy's "Bad Reputation" LP is a masterpiece.  Never heard anything quite like it since.  In fact, shouldn't Thin Lizzy be on prog.archives?  Some of their ealier material certainly qualifies as "prog.related".

I've a lot of time for the first two Jeff Beck solo albums, Truth and Cosa Nostra (Beckola). In the liner notes of the twoforone CD of these albums, we are told about how Beck wanted to take the heavy sound of Vanilla Fudge (Bogert & Appice) for his music. You get it in some tuneson Truth although we have really a hybrid blues rock album - and look at the session musicians -  and it is pretty wholesale on Beckola. Beck's drummer got involved in May Blitz which had its heavy rock moments. We had to wait until 73-74 before Beck got round to playing with those who inspired him (Bogert & Appice). And if you believe those liner notes, also inspired Jimmy Page.

I also think for those who care about roots of heavy rock, listen to Terry Reid's second album Superlungs.

I passing I have a lot of time for Stray's first album as a pioneering example of heavy rock - and these guys were still in their mid teens

I'll vote for Sabbath out of this list. I've never understood the love of Zeppelin, and what little I've heard of Uriah Heep hasn't impressed me at all. I like Deep Purple, but Sabbath is better.

I only know well enough Led Zeppelin, which I really like. I've still got to get to know the other bands... but first there's lots of proggier stuff I have to dig.

Led Zep. If it was just based on the first 4 albums, it would be a very close call between Zep and Sabbath.

Despite being a fan of them all Zep is my favourite by a considerable margin.

All fantastic bands:

1. Deep Purple
2. Led Zeppelin
3. Uriah Heep.
4. Black Sabbath 

Deep Purple gets my vote because of good ol' Ritchie Blackmore

If Deep Purple have a lot of weak albums then Uriah Heep have a majority of weak albums.
