Child In Time vs. Achilles Last Stand

[electric funeral]

Child In Time, no contest!!

 

[Frands]

Child In Time

 

[Jimmy The Finger]

Gotta love both tracks but "Child In Time" was foundational. Pretty much made Ritchie Blackmore, who plays maybe faster than the human ear can hear. His first amazing solo. Same album as "Speed King." Love Ritchie and Jon trading licks in that one. "Achilles" a monster track. Maybe Jimmy's best work since "Ten Years Gone."

my favorite led zeppelin song of all time. John paul jones is beast with the bass; imitating a galloping horse the entire song. pure sexiness

 

[Romulus]

Child In Time the singing, lyrics, instrumental and the melody; simply no contest. Led Zep song is good in a different way but Child In Time engraved itself in history of Rock...
