What about King Crimson though? When I was in Sixth Form, many years ago, there were two factions. One favoured Purple and rode Suzuki's and Yamaha 250's, the others favoured Led Zep and rode Kawasaki's. Anyone else rode a Honda! We all agreed though that you weren't really into heavy rock until you liked King Crimson. In many ways their music has aged better than either Purple or Zep. It still seems fresh and original, mainly because no one has tried to imitate them in the same way I guess.

Purple get my vote, closely followed by Zep, Floyd etc.
