Hi everybody!
I think the term Hard Rock in the early Seventies is closely related to how Deep Purple sounded on their Big Three (In Rock, Fireball, Machine Head). Black Sabbath for me is Proto-Metal, Led Zeppelin drew from Blues-Rock as well as Folk-Rock (listen to their third album)and Uriah Heep is, imo, nearer to Prog-Rock than to Hard-Rock (surely they offer Hard-Rock, but not as consistent as Deep Purple).
Very clever,......now you forgot to mention, the above band you like the most.....
i'll go with Zepplin.
Prog is whatevey you want it to be. So dont diss other peoples prog, and they wont diss yours

By the way, Toad weren't from Sweden but Switzerland.

1. Zeppelin 2. Purple 3. Heep 4. Sabbath
The first two were a very close call. Both are very dear to me as they were some of my very first musical discoveries. It's just that Zap has a certain genius that no other rock band managed to capture. A certain purity of sound I can't quite describe.

I really like later Deep Purple (Purpendicular and the like), some Led Zep and the first 3 Sabbath albums but Salisbury, Demons and Wizards and The Magician's Birthday are quite immense, so Heep for me.
