Deep Purple: Highway Star or Speed King?

[Jonny Come Lately]

Both songs are classics, and both are truly great album openers, but I will have to go with Highway Star, which is my favourite Deep Purple song. I absolutely love the sense of relentless speed and power, and Jon Lord and Ritchie Blackmore further enhance the track with outstanding organ and guitar solos.

I love both of these monumental heavy rock classics, but Highway Star is a more polished song. I prefer it.

I did total a car to Speed King though
