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.  ------------- "Too often we enjoy the comfort of opinion without the discomfort of thought." -- John F.

^ 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. ------------- [Insert Clever Phrase Here] |

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! 😂 ------------- “Living in their pools, they soon forget about the sea.” |

| 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. |

Child in Time smokes No Quarter in any and all measures yes sir... ------------- The Pedro and Micky Experience - When one no longer requires psychotropics to trip |

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 ------------- https://wytchcrypt.wixsite.com/mutiny-in-jonestown" rel="nofollow - Mutiny in Jonestown : Progressive Rock Since 1987 |

I'm not sure why, but I have never been able to connect to (or like) anything by Deep Purple! Vote goes to a great song from my favorite Zep album. ------------- Drew Fisher https://progisaliveandwell.blogspot.com/ |

Really? Not even the early Rod Evans era? or In Rock? Machine Head? Burn? Stormbringer? |

Judging by your picture Cristi, I'm guessing your favourite DP album would be 'Furball'?
