There are more Moody Blues albums I care about than the other two.

^Same here.....then Procol Harum...never really was very impressed with DP other than a song here and there.

I've said it before, WU -- if you have Made In Japan, you really don't need another DP album. The same can't be said for MB or PH.

All equal to me, each for it's own reason. Three quite different bands, but all have very memorable albums/songs.

I'll give The Moody Blues the vote, although Deep Purple aren't far behind. I like PH, but haven't heard as much of their materail, as I have the other two.
Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy!

All equal. Different sounds, different moods - all are a good listen.

A little bit strange poll, I understand Moodies & Procol in same poll, but what connect them to Deep Purple, only all were started in the sixties and all had some prog, but I really think Moodies & Procol had it much more than Purple that really was all the way heavy metal direction with macho lead vocalist?

Anyway I really like them all, but Procol for me.

Of course Made In Japan is one of the greatest live albums, but as we all are progfans I think "Fireball" is quite essential album from Purple. I like all their sixties-seventies albums, even "Come Taste the Band" has some really great moments.

Procol Harum by a huge, huge margin.  I saw them live multiple times (mostly with Trower) and they killed it live.  They were one of the 1st rock bands I saw, sharing a bill with Moby Grape at The Anderson Theater at the beginning of 1968.  I saw The Moody Blues a couple of times as well, once in '68 and once in '70, but never Deep Purple, who, frankly, I don't even like on record.

These catalogs are pretty even for me, and I almost hit "all equally."
Then I started thinking about individual songs, not albums.
Whiter Shade, Conquistador, Salty Dog... Wow.
Nights In White Satin, Question, Story In Your Eyes, Tuesday Afternoon... Yeah!
Stormbringer, Highway Star, Perfect Stranger, Mistreated, Burn!?... C'mon now!
I voted for Purple.
