I haven't heard a whole lot from Black Sabbath or Deep Purple, and I'm not really crazy about any of the choices, but I'll go with Led Zeppelin, a bit above Black Sabbath.

Deep Purple for me. But when it comes to "who is the father of heavy metal", people often forget Jeff Beck. His album "Truth" was released in 1968 and shows all the directions Led Zeppelin would follow a few months later.

My order would be: Sabbath > Purple > Zeppelin.
 
Looks like it's exactly the opposite of what can be seen on this poll though!

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!

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.
 
 
Cheers.

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.
