I find their best prog rock achievements in their 60's output, notably
 
Prelude: Happiness / I'm so glad.
Mandrake Root.
Wring that Neck.
Anthem.
Blind.
Fault Line.
April.
Third Movement: Vivace - Presto.
Encore: Third Movement (part).
Child in Time (from Concerto).
 
I choose "Other": Prelude: Happiness/I'm so glad.

I voted for April mostly because it's one of the purple's most melodic song and not to mention the longest.
But the whole Deep Purple album is pure genius progressive or not.
Child in time is also melodic but not quite as progressive as April

The Gemini Suite would also be worth considering. IMO its not a Jon Lord solo.

Child In Time definitely not! I think April is a very good choice.

Anthem for me. Great Organ and great Baroque style Strings
Really don't mind if you sit this one out.

Child in Time 'cause of the huge guitar solo (repeated twice) followed by Fools because of the long long bridge (kind of...) in the middle of the song.

April & Concerto are the most prog for sure. I vote for April. Better melodies there.

...where's "Mandrake Root" on the list?  "Chasing Shadows"? "A 200"?  "Sail Away"
"Watching The Sky" from the album Abandon? 
 
Child In Time, I guess.Smile

I can't believe nobody has mentioned my favorite and most progressive piece by DP which is their version of I'm So Glad that they melded with a rock version of the stanza of Rimsky-Korsakov's Scheherazade. Yeah, it's not really their composition, but their arrangement is amazing.

Fools and April. I could have gone with Child In Time but great though it is, it is not as intricately structured (imo) as my two picks.

I clicked at "other" because, IMHO, In Rock, as entire album aswell, is the most  proggy stuff  in their catalogue.

Can't understando why people still vote for their favourites as being the most prog. child in time, really? Neither this nor Bombay Calling, the source of this song. From the list it could be Fools, Anthem, the Conerto or April. The Concerto is pretty bad stuff (but not so bad as Emerson's) so I vote for April just for emotional reaons.

But we can't forget that the best DP isn't the "prog" DP...
Bach, Ma, Bros, Déia, Dante.
