How do I create a poll in the non-prog forum?
 
Anyway, two of my favourite rock epics are Zep's 'Kashmir' & Rainbow's 'Stargazer'! I can't seperate them but which do you prefer?

This poll was done a couple of months ago - by The Whistler if I'm not wrong.

Ah... the two Egyptian sounding songs!
 
I'm going to vote Stargazer, because Ronnie James Dio has a badass voice. Thumbs%20Up

I vote Stargazer, probably due to overexposure to Kashmir, and because Dio sings, and because Blackmore plays, Powell slams, Bain too...
 
I love Led Zep though...

Kashmir, by a country mile, for me. Cool
 
Rainbow did not age well for me (I stopped listening to them before I was out of my teens), but I remain a major Zep fan. I think they had more musical depth and were heavy rock pioneers. Rainbow seemed to be mainly about hormones/testosterone, and following an established "template." (They were very good at what they did, though.)

I remember worshipping Blackmore/Rainbow/Purple for about 6 months while in my teens. Likewise Frank Marino. Just got old for me. Zeppelin's music never stood still, always evolving, took musical risks other bands of the era couldn't or wouldn't take. Not all their long shots paid off, but the ones that did  -- e.g. Kashmir -- made them legends to this day. I recall *hating* that song for quite a while, but only because I wasn't expecting it and therefore couldn't  appreciate it.

Heh, yeah...looks like this one is "Stargazer" to my "Kashmir."
 
I still go with "Stargazer," for the live version, which rips the living sh*t outta any too-pretentious-for-its-own-good classic metal song, 'cause Blackmore's soloing is, quite literally, inhuman. It scares me.

Oh, I like how all the Led Zep guys are giving their well-thought out analysis of the songs, or just simply saying "Kashmir," and all the Rainbow dudes are saying "Dio's awesome" and the like.

A country-mile is too short:  Kashmir by a light-year!  Switching time-signatures (though it was predominantly 3/4 throughout), using orchestral arrangements to give that full Arabesque sound, using the flanger effect on the drums in the last 90 seconds of the song - it truly stands the test of time!  It is, hands down, the best song Zeppelin ever recorded (IMHO)...

I was hooked on Stargazer as a kid. It is good, but Kashmir gets my vote.

If I hear Stargazer these days, I find myself yawning at all the Dio cliches in the lyrics; towers of stone, rainbows, wizards etc..
