As much as I like Child In Time it's certainly not the best rock song ever made - there is no such thing Wink

There aren't really enough words that one can use to describe how perfect this song is... but it really is just a thing of beauty! In particular, Gillan's spine-tingling screams and Blackmore's unbelievable guitar solo. The song just builds and builds, with multiple climaxes. The whole thing is just an orgasm for my ears. 
 
hate to bring it to you, but Child In Time was musically lifted by Purple from It's A Beautyful Day' s Bonbay Calling 
 
 
 
But it"'s still one of my fave Purple track, though.
 
 
BTW, They did the same with Lazy and IABD's Don & Dewey
 
II never really got the last one, Don & Dewey ripped off Purple's Wring that Neck because Purple stole first Bombay Calling. I don't see where Lazy fits the picture.
 
 I don't hear much of Wring That Neck in Don & Dewey at all. ConfusedEmbarrassedConfused
 
And the Purple story goes that Purple would've allowed this as part of the price to pay for ripping off  BC
 
You might however listen and compare D&D and Lazy >>> It's strikingly the same

Deep Purple and many other bands from the time, there's nothing really wrong with it, it was something pretty common from the time as far as I'm concerned.

It's an incredible achievement and defined classic heavy rock for at least a decade in my opinion.
