On Kashmir we hear the better singer, the better drummer and the better guitarist, the better band as a matter of fact!  *And now I'm getting ready to get slaughtered*

Holy crap! This thread!
 
If I could (and I would), I'd do it all over again, tossing in "Gates of Babylon," "Poweslave," "Rare and Precious Chain," "That First Track Off A Bedlam In Goliath," "Still I'm Sad" and "I Can't Put My Finger On It." Call it Metal Eastern or something.

'Stargazer' of course!!!
Ronnie, Ritchie and Cozy (and that beautiful guitar solo)...say no more.

Agreed - Kashmir tends to send me to sleep - I don't get all the fuss about it.
The important thing is not to stop questioning.

'Kashmir' for me.

'Stargazer' is certainly one of Rainbows finest songs.

"Kashmir" is great, but "Stargazer" wins hands down with me. Being a fan of Blackmore, Dio and the late, great Cozy Powell, you can understand how this choice of mine came about.

BTW, I don't think the two songs sound like each other at all. If you really want a couple of "Kashmir" soundalikes, check Deep Purple's "Perfect Strangers" and "Rapture of the Deep".

"Stargazer" - such a powerful song, such majesty! Tongue No, seriously, I love it.
Check out the cover made by Mundanus Imperium on their one and only album, The Spectral Spheres Coronation (with the great Jorn Lande on vocals), a very good rendition despite a not so spectacular guitar solo.

Stargazer is a very good hardrock song but I choose Kashmir - wonderful song.

I haven't heard any Rainbow yet. And about Kashmir, well I don't think (let's keep the war metaphors) it should be sent on a "rock songs" battlefield; it's not necessarily great as "rock song", however it's larger than life from many other perspectives - I guess this says in a different way what Mr. Heath already said.

Kashmir, since is has been rearranged and recorded by many more musicians, and most versions reveal additional facets of the tune.
