What happens when you take the mighty talents of Ronnie James Dio, Ritchie Blackmore, and Cozy, and put them together in the same band? You get one of, if not the greatest album of all time. After leaving Deep Purple in 1974, and forming Rainbow, Ritchie Blackmore was making his name a force to be reckoned with. One year later, Rainbow released their debut album, Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow. After scoring a minor hit with "Man on the Silver Mountain,", Ritchie and Ronnie decided it was time to step up their game. In 1976, after bringing in Cozy Powell on drums, Tony Carey on keyboards, and Jimmy Bain on bass, Rainbow recorded their masterpiece. Read more ›› |

I think this album is amazing. Stargazer has always been and will always be one of the best tracks ever written. It is the definition of "epic" and long may it continue to inspire many bands. RIP Dio, your voice will always be heard.

I wonder why I can't enjoy this one, even though I LOVE the debut and really like the Long Live R'nR :S

Posts: 278 Written by Unhealer on 18.11.2012 at 02:33 I agree to a certain degree with that sentiment, just finished my first ever listens of both the debut and Rising (sometimes the best Christmas presents are the ones you give to yourself  ), and I definately prefer the debut. In truth, I only liked two thirds of this album (''Starstruck'' and ''Do You Close Your Eyes'' were a bit weak imo). Though ''Stargazers'' has already become one of my favourite Dio-related songs, absolutely amazing song.

If they removed "Do You Close Your Eyes" I'd give this a perfect 10. Just a horrid song.

There was a discussion in the shoutbox the other day about Dio's best performance. I fail to see how it can be anything other than "Stargazer". "I see a rainbow risiiiing"

Stargazers is my fav. Dio song and Rainbow song but the album definitely doesn't deserve a 9. That would be the rainbow featuring the best of the 1st 3 Rainbow albums (Stargazers, Gates Of Babylon, Man On A Silver Mountain, Catch The Rainbow etc...). That album would be a legendary one. Unfortunately none of the 1st 3 albums with Dio are such masterpieces as they contain some filler.

If you're a fan of this album you might want to check out late 70's era Omega (Hungarian band), their song Late Night Show (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3FPbUSpJi7M) reminded me of Stargazer. Usually they are more on the "rock" side but damn that song is heavy.

"Do You Close Your Eyes" is weak - but at least it's short! The rest of the songs are great: the first half is catchy and fun; the last two songs are epic masterpieces! Dio will live on forever in his music!
