| Rainbow was a band formed by Ritchie Blackmore after Deep Purple broke up. The original lead singer was Ronnie James Dio, later to be replaced by Gram Bonnet (for one album) then finally ended up with Joe Lynn Turner. And the line up with the other musicians changed from album to album. (Almost makes one think Blackmore was difficult to work with)
Rainbow's most well know songs are probably "Man on the Silver Mountain" (Dio was lead singer on that) and "Stone Cold" (a power ballad with Turner on lead vocal.) In the Joe Lynn Turner era, they evloved to sound kinda like a heavier version of Foreigner. |

(Occasionally when I get bored I research old bands and whatnot, cause I wasn't around then, so I've gotta get caught up  ) Ritchie Blackmore is an awesome guitarist. | |

| He is, but I think he is now doing (or was anyway) Renaissance music with a woman who I think is his wife. The name of the band is Blackmore's Night. (The womans last name is Night) | |

| I dunno, I just heard a few seconds of it and was like 'what the heck?'. But I suppose I should give it a try sometime. Well, my brother seems to at least like it a little, and I trust his musical judgement (he's a jazz guitarist in high school), so I'm sure it can't be that bad.  | |

| Well, gosh, I hate to drag this back on topic  , but Sid is a beautiful boy! And, like everyone else, I LOVE the name!
I was a big fan of punk rock in my younger years, but as I slow down, so does my music. | |

Dio grew up in Cortland, NY -- not too far away from where I grew up in Central NY! He's got an awesome voice.
