Indeed when one considers the great musicianship that was in Deep Purple, how could myself, who cannot play a musical instrument, let alone create any original music, even begin to criticize a band like Deep Purple.

It is more that my taste drifted away from hard rock to progressive rock over the years.  plus I'm more inclined to listen to contemporary progressive rock as opposed to albums recorded in the 70s
Well, I think itīs ok to you to say In Rock great and others not. Itīs just I donīt hear lots of difference in In Rock, Fireball, Machine Head and Made In Japan, so I think everyone who loves In Rock most probably at least like also those albums. But of course, I also canīt always explain why I like some album and why not some other.
 
Deep Purple hasnīt ever been my biggest favourite, but I have listened and also bought almost all their seventies albums, the main reason is that one guy sold them to me very cheap years ago.

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

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.

Tull.

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

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.)

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

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

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

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

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