Rainbow is really good band.They both are bands from the ashes of Deep Purple,but I don't like Whitesnake.Rainbow is much better for me.

I like both. Both bands had a string of very strong albums, followed by some relative dross, but when weighed up, I think the Whitesnakes dross was worse than Rainbows.

So Rainbow has the vote..

Whitesnake had a few goodies, but when Dio was with Rainbow they were unstoppable.

Tough choice, I guess Rainbow, which I know better and listened more often. but Whitesnake sure has some great albums. totally loved Slippery When Wet
 
sorry this was a slip of the tongue. obviously I meant 1987

Rainbow for me.  I always felt that Whitesnake were merely a vehicle for David Coverdale's posturing.

Well, Steve Vai's riff in "In the Still of the Night" alone gives Whitesnake a fighting chance....

 
...but yeah, Rainbow wins relatively easily.
