Im sure this has been done before, but I could not find it... I voted for Zeppelin by the way...wow, what a shocker!!! Also, when you say which band you preferspecify why... I pick Zeppelin cause I find them to be the most balanced of the three, with the most awesome guitarist of thouse three (hope Ghost Ruder does not read this...) and the best singer and drummer...hehehehe Also I find their albums to be much better, specially the first 6...and Sabbath bores me to death to be completly honest hehehe ------------- "You want me to play what, Robert?"

Ghost Rider has read it...  I love all three bands, though I must admit that I prefer Sabbath with Dio to Sabbath with Ozzy (due to my weakness for singers who can sing). The three guitarists are among my favourites, though I think Blackmore is the best of the three, at least in a technical sense (and of course he's the god I worship  ... no Petrucci for me, I'm afraid! ). As to the bands, I'll choose DP, but not by that large a margin... I don't agree about the singer, though. I prefer Gillan to Plant, as good as the latter is. |

What's wrong with Blackmore or Gillan?

Date Posted: August 13 2006 at 17:01
Nothing wrong with them. Something wrong with me, maybe...
 I'm simply not too fond of both of them, and the main reason that I like Deep Purple (at all as well as in the comparison with Black Sabbath and Led Zeppelin) is Jon Lord's presence. That's all.
I wouldn't mind if you've got any problem with Lord, though...

Zeppelin for beeing able to keep their identity and sound while playing Reggae for crying out loud...and any other genre they mixed themselves with... they bent the genre not themselves...Jones - Page - Plant ...rule! D'yer MAk'er...Immigrant Song...Down by the Seaside...Boogie with Stu...Kashmir...Moby Dick(and the drum solo)... Purple in my humble opinion are a bit easy listening...and the changes in the band I don't think they helped. A bit too simpistic as a band in general. Sabbath on the other hand hold a certain piece of my heart...for no apparent musical reason. P.S. I like Hush more by Kula Shaker.

My choice was, is and will be Deep Purple.
They feature my favourite keyboard player ever (his Majesty Jon Lord), and three of the best singers ever (in decreasing order of preference: David Coverdale, Glenn Hughes and Ian Gillan)...especially the Coverdale-era releases literally blow me away! The down side to it is Ritchie Blackmore: I don't like him very much, and I think he hit a lot of flat notes on the earlier albums... Led Zeppelin feature one of the most creative guitar players ever (Jimmy Page), but I often can't stand Robert Plant's voice... Ditto with Black Sabbath featuring Ozzy Osbourne...it must be said that Ronnie James Dio, on the other hand, is very very very gifted! ------------- A flower?

But strictly songlike I prefer Led Zeppelin, with Deep Purple close behind, and Sabbath occasional good songs, but basically not in their league. so Led Zeppelin for me ------------- I'm always almost unlucky _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Id5ZcnjXSZaSMFMC Id5LM2q2jfqz3YxT |

Deep Purple by a mile... Reasons:
1- They have a permanent keyboardist in their line up (the classic one is heck of a keyboardist!)
2- Three members of their "classic five" are either trained classicaly, or have classic music connections: Lord, Blackmore, and Gillan (a turkish writer once dubed them "Ludwig van" Blackmore, "Johann Sebastian" Lord, and "Luciano" Gillan
 !!!)3- Their "classic" period songs are long and winding, showing instrumental skills, sometimes multipart, including "unusual time signatures", thus more proggy. Not to mention Lord's efforts here and there to combine classical music with hard rock, including a concerto and a suite (Gemini Suite was also performed with Deep Purple)
Zep sounds to me more blues than prog. (of course, no one claims they are prog anyway, but they have excellent proggy works) Sabbath is a "heavy" continuation of early British psychedelia (fairies wear boots!!!), when they have outside help, they can kick ass (Sabbath Bloody Sabbath!!!) that said, if Wakeman was a permanent member of Sabbath, it could have been my pick
of course, regarding Sabbath and Purple, I'm talking about "classic" 5's here. Both bands' '80's incarnations mean too little to me (despite Gillan's and Dio's inclusions in Sabbath). Mark VII (or was it VIII  ) line up of Deep Purple (with Steve Morse and Lord side by side) is slightly better than these. I still haven't heard Rapture of the Deep, though.------------- 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!) |

Zep is the clear choice, simply because they only had one weak album. Many don't even consider that one weak (I'll let you diecide which one I am referring to ).

Gillan was the best singer, Blackmore the best guitarist. A virtuoso on Keyboards and a band that are still out there today, albiet with one or two or ten changes in personnel.

Well, for example...when Balckmore played (& jammed on) an acoustic guitar as good as Page did ???? never
Blackmore sounds like he played the same guitar all the time too! creativity
 except some good solosIn Zep we have an excellent keybordist & bassist in 1 person: j p jones (listen also bootlegs)
The Zep were the same until the end

These three groups really are different enough to make this poll a mismatch.... I have always considered Zeppelin Hard Rock, DP heavy proto prog, and Black Sabbath the seminal heavy metal band. Strictly on a "excellence" scale, I have to give the nod to Led Zep. What a waste it was for Bonzo to kill himself like that, just as the band was cleaning itself up. He was truly one of the greatest drummers ever. BTW, Ward and Butler make up one HELL of a rhythm section! ------------- Twenty men crossing a bridge into a village, are twenty men crossing twenty bridges into twenty villages. Wallace Stevens |

Led Zep and the Purple are two of my favourite bands.
You might have seen some of my reviews for the Purple (I have posted about forty of them recently). I dicovered both bands in December 1970 with "Black Night" / "Speed King" and "Whole Lotta Love " / "Living Loving Maid"
In 1999, for about US FM station played "Stairway To Heaven" for twenty-four (24) hours in a row ?
The intro for this marvel was stole though (original can be heard from the band Spirit. The instrumental song being "Taurus".
So, it is impossible for me to choose between Purple and Led Zep.
By the way, my first concert ever was ... Black Sabbath (in March 1973), just a week before Deep Purple (both in Brussels). I was forteen.
I saw Led Zep in December 1975.

| I found Zep more consistent in song, & album quality, and they set the standard for production values for hard rock ; but with Purple having 3-4 songs that I've come to love more than anything Zep put out, but they peaked fast (In Rock, Fireball, Machine Head all within a two year period) & kept at it as an above average rock band (Coverdale era), & Sabbath, well, kind of the same thing, but there are songs that, well, you can understand what they meant when you read that some were just jams to fill out a record (Debut & Paranoid). After Master of Reality, same thing, they had their moments of greatness, but also average (for Sab) stuff that gets left behind. |

I have my opinion about the difference between hard rock and heavy metal (of course, this is not Gospel). I feel that HM began when HR started losing its blues roots. I know that Black Sabbath have strong blues influences, but their riffs are more powerful, dark, claustrophobic. I think HM was born with a song like N.I.B. By the way, Deep Purple were the most progressive of the bunch. -------------

Zeppelin comes first because I enjoyed most of their albums. bits of II and In Through the Out Door, and IV were not my favorites, but they had a few enjoyable songs. Listening to Zeppelin though is amazing. Always fresh and makes me want to jump around and jam. I was listening to Physical Grafitti the other day. Such an amazing album from start to finish. The band was really tight on that album. Same with on the BBC sessions. I love Black Sabbath. In fact, I liked all their albums from Black Sabbath to Mob Rule. However, a couple songs here and there were not up to par. I like Sabbath's big rounded sound. Zeppelin had a lot of emphasis on the bass and drums, and Purple was heavy on keys and guitar, but Sabbath had this thick wall of darkness and power in all sections. Deep Purple is sort of hit or miss for me. I like them, but I guess I get a little bored sometimes with Shades of... and the later albums. I think the last one I liked of theirs was Stormbringer. Still great though. |

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 )------------- 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), |

 ?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. |

If you go through each discography & count the duds, you can line 'em up properly ...

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 -------------
