Top 10 Rainbow (Joe Lynn Turner Era) Songs
A very fast song - I would say speed metal with an amazing solo from Ritchie Blackmore.
Brilliant intro, riff and chorus (Joe wailing that "I-i-i-i-i-i" is awesome).
Such an explosive intro!
I absolutely love this song - the riff and chorus are very powerful.
This song has a killer riff but it sounds too odd when you first hear it and you may not pay attention to it. This riff was copied, i.e. ripped off, by 7 metal bands - I know about 7 but can't say if there are more. Obviously there's something about this riff because the other most copied riff in metal is Raining Blood by Slayer.
The solo also sounds unusual but I like it.
Pretty epic feel here.
This was the first neo-classical instrumental and it's a cover of Beethoven's Ode to Joy. Beethoven's Ode to Joy is the official anthem of the European Union and the Council of Europe, both of which refer to it as the European Anthem.
Snowman, Anybody There, Maybe Next Time, and Weiss Heim are beautiful and magical instrumentals. Highly recommended.
