Deep Purple. I like Rainbow as well. (Although I'm not a big fan of Rising, save for of course Stargazer and I guess the intro to Tarot Woman)

Both are excellent bands and it's a very hard choice but I have to hand it over to Deep Purple, really.

Unfortunately, Rainbow was hardly more then a 3-album band, their works after 1978  are hardly remarkable.
So Deep Purple.

I saw the PURPLE in concert (my first concert!). But love in the greater  manner RAINBOW with Dio and Powell!

Although Rainbow is far from being a inferior band it's Deep Purple for me!

I went with DP. Great live act.

Deep Purple, by virtue of having produced four good studio albums to Rainbow's three.

The first three Rainbow studio albums are big favourites of mine, especially the mighty Rising. However, in my book very little can touch Deep Purple, in most of their incarnations.

Not a big fan of the whole classic rock proggy thing, but I'll go with rainbow for puling off the sythesizer. J Lord is a better keyboardist, but failed at synthing.
