i love rainbow classic era. no matter who was singing. ritchie's performances are brilliant and any singer which has been in there has a brilliant voice too. i also own all rainbow LPs, even the final cut, and have some vhs too... so i think i know a bit their works :-)
after dropping dio, ritchie picked up graham bonnet. his style was absolutely different from the voice of metal, but graham got a strong and powerful voice too. the compositions, mainly from roger and ritchie are also brilliant, so the result speaks for itself.
i also believe rainbow belongs to that classic rock/metal elite bands which had become a referent for future bands. i can't stand why my kerrang's guide puts skid row into the 50 all-time bands and rainbow is not there. sacrilege!!
i can name only one song here since all of them are awesome, but of course, the most well-known are all night long, since you been gone and lost in hollywood.
cozy powell made the line up so it was really a supergroup, with a new born singer legend
10/10 indispensable. classic status
