I went for Gillan for no other reason than i like the sound of his voice more than the other two.
Uriah Heep, who are often compared to these three bands, had the best vocalist of all of them in David Byron, IMO.

Hard choice between Gillan and Plant (I totally dislike Ozzy's style). In the end, the vote goes to Plant for II, III and IV.

Gillan all the way, though I like Plant too. However, Ozzy, even if not a 'good' singer in any conventional sense, was perfect for the sound of early Black Sabbath.
BTW, this should be moved, since it's about the singers of three PROG-RELATED bands...

You probably got mixed up with director Terry Gilliam, of Twelve Monkeys and The Fisher King fame  ...

One of my fave bands: Deep Purple
Best vocals (on this poll): Ian Gillan
Special fave: Gillan!! although if Coverdale was here it would be very difficult to me.
I do love Sabbath and Zeppelin, but not as Deep Purple. Although I prefer DP for Jon Lord, still the vocals give a good advantage.
DP albums with Gillan I love: Fireball, Machine Head, WDYTWA, TBRO, Purpendicular, Bananas and ROTD. Well of course Made in Japan too.

Paul Rodgers? Fine voice but his singing in Bad Company is slightly weak and not quite unique as his voice in Free. Of course this is IMO.
Although it really depends on the mood I am. Of course depends on the band they're, since I prefer DP above all (hard rock bands) surely Gillan will be. Although if I'm not in mood of rocking, I'll go for some bluesy rockish Zep with I and II that are massive.
Or for more straightforward rock, like tunes like Parnoid, Iron Man, etc I'll take Sabbath.
Although these three bands have their most 'complex' moments. War Pigs, The Writ, etc for Sabbath. No Quarter, Achilles Last Stand, etc for Zep.
Lazy, Fools, Child in Time, etc for DP.
....Hey chopper what's your fave Free album? Mines Heartbreaker.
