Best rocker?

So who's with me when I saw Deep Purple and Black Sabbath are some of the best bands of our time? Anyone still remember Ian Gillan? Dang, that guy has still rockin out. He's badass and if you haven't heard his solo stuff you're missin out man! I was surprised he has a myspace but he does http://www.myspace.com/iangillan What do you guys think? I think "When A Blind Man Cries" is my favorite track.
