Another tough poll.

Rainbow -Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow

Long Live Rock 'n' Roll because it's time for some Down to Earth Hard Rock from Ritchie Blackmore's Night. Ritchie Blackmore (born 1945) - the legendary "Man in Black" - quickly became a Rising star of the guitar when he joined Deep Purple way back in 1968. Who can forget the now infamous California Jam episode in 1974 when he nearly hit the poor cameraman Straight Between the Eyes in a fit of anger, and his guitar ended up being Bent Out of Shape after being smashed against the amps On Stage. Ritchie Blackmore's famously fiery temper may have been Difficult to Cure, but there's a Stranger in Us All and there's an altogether gentler side to his nature. Who would have guessed Ritchie Blackmore would mellow out in his later years by going on to form the Folk-Rock band Blackmore's Night in 1997 with his American wife Candice Night, where it's not to much a case of Turn Up the Night now, but come to bed and turn off the light.
