Hughes and Turner probably had the best voices of any Deep Purple singer IMO, but most of my favorite Purple songs were sung by Gillan, so I had to vote for him.

No contest...Gillan all the way.
I like the Coverdale / Hughes combo as well, but not as much as Gillan.

Of course I absolutley LOVE the classic DP lineup w/ Ian Gillan, however, I think the albums I enjoy the most are the ones w/ Coverdale & Hughes, not sure why, it just works for me I guess.

Gillan, then Coverdale. Glenn Hughes was good too, as was Rod Evans but Evans wasn't much of a powerful vocalist. JLT is a great vocalist, but I didn't care at all for 'Slaves & Masters' so he'd be my least favorite due to the songs on that album |

JLT may be my favorite pure vocalist of the Purple singers, but "Slaves And Masters" flat out sucked IMO, so, unfortunately, that disqualifies him in the race for me. |

I ACTUALLY DISAGREE WITH JESSE FOR ONCE. SLAVES & MASTERS WAS A GREAT ALBUM. NOT A GREAT DEEP PURPLE ALBUM, BUT THE BEST ALBUM RAINBOW NEVER MADE. IMO THE BEST JLT VERSION OF RAINBOW THAT IS. |

Machine Head...nuff said...
In the day, and with the amount of great talent out there at the time... in my opinion, Ian was underrated.
Thanks
