Deep Purple and Led Zepplin are, of course, two of the founding father of metuhl. However, Purple ain't part of this; Rainbow is.
 
Both these songs are sort of long, right? And somewhat Eastern in flair. That is, I don't really know; I've heard Kashmir (everyone has). I've never heard that album Rainbow Rising, but I do own a live album. In fact, it's my only Rainbow album. Live in Churmany or something. And the version that is pretty keen.
 
So I'd reckon I'd say the Rainbow song for me. Yeah, pretty sweet. Overlong? Maybe. But so's Kashmir, and Kashmir don't got Blackmore, who kicks Page (no offense) to Mordor and back.
 
And, should this need be moved since these lads am butte prog-gressive-relations, yeah. That's kewl.

Against No Quarter? Naw, I want this to be fair, not a mystical blood bath. Although...

Can't decide between them.

If you've never heard Rising then you really need to get it!

and where is "Churmany"?

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.

"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.

"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".

'Kashmir' for me.

'Stargazer' is certainly one of Rainbows finest songs.
