Which of these songs do you prefer: Led Zeppelin's No Quarter or Deep Purple's Child In Time?

No, I know how to behave in the restaurant now, I don't tear at the meat with my hands. If I've become a man of the world somehow, that's not necessarily to say I'm a worldly man.

No Quarter, especially live. As good as the version on TSRtS is, it evolved and got even better for the next tour in '75 with them expanding it to about 40 minutes and Jones with a great extended grand piano break.  |

^ Have to agree with the Star Trek time machine, Allan Holdsworth inspired album titled guy on this one.
 Love Purple, Love Zep, but on this one I think No Quarter comes out on top. |

That's a great choice for a duel..... hmmm. Child in Time (studio, but especially on Made in Japan) is rather special, but I think I have to go for Zep's No Quarter because it is so layered, atmospheric and shows them at their most proggy, thanks to JPJ's keyboards. Only the dodgy haircut on The Song Remains the Same film gives me doubts, but not enough! 😂

Dig both bands but Child in Time is an easy choice for me. Crankin' guitar and supreme vocals on that number.

Not an easy decision here. In terms of studio version, "Child in Time" is better. However, as Squonk19 already pointed out, the live version of "No Quarter" is phenomenal - John Paul Jones' finest hour. And, as cheesy as it may sound, I love the sequence that accompanies the song in the Song Remains the Same movie.

You tell me how many bands covered respectively No Quarter and the other song as well - there you have the answer, kiddo ! (Now, truly, I'm always partial to ol' Zep - it's even irrational)

Child in Time for me. I know it's heresy to say but No Quarter has always bored me to tears...especially the version I endured at LZ's last US concert 7/24/77
