Lazy vs Since I've been loving you

Voted Lazy as I love the jazz feel of the tune.

Awwww these comparisons are not fair because I also love the jazzy prelipupupus pa pa te ti te tum dum dum jazzy feel  and mood of Lazy by Deep Purple infact I can replay this more often to be honest.

Lazy. I just loved this song the first time I heard it.Still sounds great to this Day.
Nice version of it on the Remacjined CS by Joe Bonamassa and Jimmy Barnes

Has ANYONE ever bothered to hear West Coast psych band Moby Grape's initial composition entitled 'Never' during their musical travels ??? It came before SIBLY and worth every bit of ear-time one cares to bother with.........
Sure it's very good - no patch on what Page and his buddies cranked it out to be.........

Substandard?! Led Zeppelin 3?!! Really?!!!! Find me another album that mixes great blue grass guitar (Bron Yr Aur Stomp, the catchy heaveiness of Out On The Tiles (a hit single for anyone else, Zeppelin couldn't be bothered), the awesome power of Immigrant Song - check JPJ's bass work in what would be choruses to another band. Who else is cool enough to introduce the bass at the end of (the C guitar tuning of That's The Way) near the end of the number which has already such aural depth. Tangerines' delicacy and precise solo, the understated evil of Friends, the monumetal chord structure for SIBLY, the trikery of the usal end of album blues in Hat's Off. And that most odd ball of hard rock numbers Celebration Day.

Not to mention the revisit in the Page Plant Unledded: No Quarter Days where the (no, I hadn't forgotten) was based around Gallows Pole and the often neglected Four Sticks from the wonderful fourth album. Both numbers incidentally were played once or twice in the Zeppelin live time but finally got their recognition in the 1990s

I wish there were more sub-standard albums like this, I'd be more broke than ever.

Deep Purple were masters of the intertwining riff in e.g. loads of In Rock, had orchestral works (Concerto x 2 and The Gemini Suite). They were fine improvisers and still give great concert. Lazy when done complete is a lot of fun and another refreshing take on the Blues.

Oh and bothe bands are drum driven. Ian paice was there from there beginning and still there; no Bonham, no Zeppelin.

Outside interest by Purple members reveal the depth and breadth, Paice's big band jazz, the soul (Hughes), Glover's theatrical productions, Blackmore and folk, Bolin and jazz, Lord's classical music. To get an idea I recommend the Second Concerto recording with a lot of solo ventures on disc 1 and that riveting CD 2. Their friend Ronnie Dio turns up to help out on Smoke. And the orchestral ballads are stunning performances.

I love them both but "Since I've Been Loving You", has, as mentioned elsewhere, more emotion and totally encapsulates how I feel about the blues in music.

Since I've Been Loving You, one of my favorite LZ songs

I regret I voted on Lazy. I've just listened to SIBLY and my mind rapidly changed. 

For those that say Page was sloppy ; I think, at times Steve Howe could be somewhat sloppy too. And not to forget, what they're playing is never exactly simple, nor conventional.
