Your favorite Rainbow album and song?

[Texas King]

For an album my choice will be definitely Rising, a hard rock masterpiece IMO. For a song it's gotta be Stargazer, off the mentioned album. Dio era of Rainbow is outstanding.

[geezer]

Album: Rising

Song: Gates Of Babylon (but I love all the tracks of the first three studio albums)

Good choices!

Album - Rising

Song - Stargazer (but Gates of Babylon could take it too)

Same here.

 

I give the edge to Stargazer but Gates is great as well. Those two are probably my favorite vocal performances from Dio.

First song that came to mind was Tarot Woman - I love that intro

 

But I'm going All Night Long .. I like Graham Bonnet

That keyboard intro is amazing. And the song is great.

 

Bonnet is a beast! Have you got his new album?? My copy arrived Saturday along with the new Glenn Hughes and I'll be giving them a spin later. I got the deluxe edition with a bonus disc featuring a bunch of re-recorded Bonnet stuff, Rainbow, MSG, Alcatrazz etc so that'll be interesting too. I'll probably just blast the new album disc initially though, I also need to listen to the new Testament album.

I could pick any of the first 3 albums with Dio, or the Bonnet one. I love each one. But I think at this minute I'm going to go with Long Live Rock 'n' Roll. Next week I'll probably change my mind.

 

As for song, the three I would mention are the ones that have already been mentioned, Stargazer, Gates of Babylon and Tarot Woman.

But I've also got a soft spot for The Temple of the King, from the debut, and Eyes of the World with Bonnet.

Song(s): Stargazer (Tarot Woman and the live versions of Catch The Rainbow and Still I'm Sad)

I've got the new Glenn Hughes on now and it's really great! :haz:

[treeduck]

Also the bass player in Graham's band is a super hot babe! :drool:

[ozzy85]

I've been all about the first album lately.

 

Snake Charmer!

[blueschica]

I don't know, you can't beat the original Rainbow album in my eyes, although my favorite version of my favorite song isn't on it. I've always loved "Man on the Silver Mountain", but I prefer the live version; the one on the album sounds pretty tame after hearing it live. :)

:sigh: Still miss you, Dio.

I really enjoy all of Rainbow's albums. Including Stranger in Us All.

[geezer]

Stranger In Us All IMHO tops all the JLT era albums

[CygnusGal]

I agree about Rising and Stargazer. :haz:

 

Second for me though is Kill The King.

[ILSnwdog]

Rising and Stargazer for me too.

This.

 

Stargazer is so f***ing epic!
