I am honestly surprised to see some people don't know Uriah Heep... Confused

I always found "Speed King" to be positively electrifying!  Can't say I know "Look at Yourself" well, I need to listen to it.

One of my bucket list intentions is to binge on all the 'Heep albums. Until then, can't vote here.

A friend of mine told me once that Uriah feels like a bit cliche to him. I like it anyway, but I can understand his point, and I guess that that gives Purple an edge over the Heep.

Hmm, both albums are rather unequal for me: both have two or three very good tracks, but the rest is rather average. Speed King and Child in Time are all time classics but in my house so are Look at Yourself and July Morning... Despite the fact that I consider Child in Time by far the best of all those, I think I have a slight, but just very slight preference for Uriah Heep on this one.

Look At Yourself. It is just better songwriting-wise. The pinnacles, Child In Time vs. July Morning maybe on par, but otherwise Look At Yourself is packed with jewels like trance-inducing Look At Yourself and Shadows Of Grief, which, I think, cannot be matched by In Rock's exercises in heaviness.

I think DEEP PURPLE IN ROCK was the first album I considered 'the best' in my life. It was so awesome I couldn't grasp it. Really earth-shattering and album of the year probably. It says A LOT since every year between 1968-1975 had loads of good stuff.
In Rock - 100/100
Look at Yourself - 88/100 or so.
