Rainbow is definitely in a league of their own. Coming just a half generation after the holy trinity of rock (Purple, Sabbath and Zeppelin) set the cornerstones of heavy rock, I've always pictured them as a natural evolution, a supergroup. Their debut album is a real gem. And "Rising" truly raised the bar to strat-ospheric levels. "Long Live" is an excellent, mature, even if a farewell album and completes the trilogy just nicely. R.I.P. Dio and Cozy. Long live Blackmore.
