Only Led Zeppelin would be ahead of the Terry Kath era of Chicago out of all the bands listed. Outside of T Rex who I'm ambivalent, I like all these bands. Chicago has outstanding musicians and were blessed to have three vocalists who could sing lead ( Cetera, Kath and Lamm).

I've given my vote to The Moodies here, though in truth it's probably just about:

Tull > Moody Blues > ELO

of course, back in the day, it would have been Sab > Zep > Purple all day long, but those days are long gone..
Music has always been a matter of energy to me. On some nights I believe that a car with the needle on empty can run 50 more miles if you have the right music very loud on the radio. Hunter S Thompson

Not difficult at all. Procol Harum, followed at a distance by Jethro Tull and Deep Purple.

Not a hard poll for me. For me, there really is only one choice... Black Sabbath.

Led Zeppeling I guess, though it's very close with Jethro Tull, and The Moody Blues have their shining moments too.

Out of these I think I like Deep Purple the most (the Mark II lineup).

Pretty easy one. Jethro Tull. If I was voting only on the first two albums I would switch my vote to Chicago.

it’s funny that’s what is hard for some, is easy for others.

Sabbath is a no-brainier for me. It was my initial reaction, but just before I cast my vote I did pause for thought. After all, the only Sabbath albums I really love are the first six - although 13 comes close, with a wave of nostalgia.

But then I realised that there’s not a band in this poll where I could not say similar. While I have plenty of bands and artists in my collection (perhaps even the majority) where I like all, or almost all, of what they’ve released; every band here I like only selected parts (generally a run of albums). So second thoughts cast aside, and my vote goes to Sabbath.

(For the record, Procol Harum is easily second, for me. The hard part of the poll for me being third place, but I think I’ll give that to The Moody Blies.)

Tull.

Deep Purple & Sabbath made me stop and ponder a bit... but Tull for sure.

A very hard poll? As Michael Scott would say "that's what she said." Anyway, yes it is actually but I went with the Moodies since they need more votes. After that it would be JT, then LZ then BS for me.

I thought this was a new poll until I noticed it was posted on July 15th 2018. It is a hard poll, but it's all A Question of Balance, and on that note, I vote for The Moody Blues. Smile
