Sabbath are the greater band overall for me but I love Deep Purple very much.

Unfortunately, I do not enjoy the music of either of these two groups, but I'll vote for DP without hesitation.

purple had stormbringer

Nicely set out....though I have a different take on the winners in
71 - Sabbath for MAsters of Reality - I mean come on. Vs Fireballl?
72 - Purple (if only because of Made in Japan)
75 - Sabotage is (for me) much stronger than Stormbringer (Symptom of the Universe is a presonal fave)

Overall Sabs by a nose.

Damn, "You have already voted in this poll." 

Deep Purple, again.  

Once Ronnie James Dio joined Sabbath, the doors were blown off ("Heaven and Hell").  Otherwise, it's Smoke on the water....

Since both bands have had numerous line-up changes through the decades, I would hardly rate them as consistent, as both bands style of music changed as well. My favourite Black Sabbath era was with Ozzie Osbourne and Deep Purple, were at their best as Mark II . Neither bands, in my opinion, have been as good musically as they were then. I really can not pick one band over the other, for those reasons.

Matter of taste surely, but I've always thought of Sabotage as one of Sabbath's finest moments, whereas Stormbringer comes off rather sub par. I do love how the songs sound in a live setting though and I have that Made in Europe as well. 
 
I really like Stormbringer, but sabotage is miles ahead, superb album!

Sabbath would just edge it for me although its a close thing! Being a guitarist i'd have to go for the riffmeister Iommi .

I am aware of both facts, though Deep Purple used keyboard more often and more effectively, and I don't think Dio was on any Deep Purple studio albums. I've just seen that the poll is only for 70-75 period, so I'm lucky I can't vote, because I'll change my vote and give it to Purple (purely because it is restricted by the period).
