| A few months ago I got the album "Rising" from Rainbow, and really liked it a lot and got me interested in other works from both DIO and Ritchie Blackmore. Though I already knew a bit from Deep Purple, I just got also "In Rock", and given it's reputation I expected something as great as "Rising". Well, as a matter of fact it's still to early to give any real judgement over it, but it didn't have the same immediate impact Rising did. However, it gave me the idea to make this poll, though I don't feel myself ready to vote yet. Perhaps in a few more weeks I'll be doing another of rising against "Machine Head", which I expect to get by then. |

In Rock for sure, but both are fantastic records.

I'm gonna go with Rising. I've never really understood the love for In Rock. I like Machine Head a lot better, but anyway, the last two epic songs on Rising make it a clear winner.

Agreed in regards to Rainbow Rising as well as In Rock not being on the same level as Machine Head. Rising's "A Light in the Black" has always been a heavy rock favorite. ------------- ...a vigorous circular motion hitherto unknown to the people of this area, but destined to take the place of the mud shark in your mythology... |

Rising BY FAR!! A landmark album! With the two long-ish songs and the stellar keyboarding of Tony Carey, I'll even venture to say it's proto-prog-metal. ------------- https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_ipg=50&_sop=1&_rdc=1&_ssn=musicosm" rel="nofollow - eBay |

Although I'm a huge hard rock fan, Rising for some reason didn't knock me down, maybe I haven't listened to it enough. I adore In Rock but no vote in the meantime. |

| Really difficult choice, this one. "In Rock" is an absolute classic featuring one of rock's all time greats - the sublime "Child in Time". "Rising" however is a magical album that I loved a great deal back when it was released. Strangely it is the older album that today resonates with me more although I will always love "Rising". I think that in terms of importance to rock music as a whole "In Rock" takes the podium and due to that it gets my vote. |

I've never owned the album so always assumed it was Don Airey playing keyboards. I may well get the deluxe edition as it has the extended version of Stargazer with the keyboard intro.

If I'm brutally honest, then none of these albums really do anything for me. They're good, but I don't listen to them anymore. They were hugely influential in that they spurred me on to further discover 70s rock, and since then(must've been almost 20 years ago) I haven't looked back. No vote though. ------------- “The Guide says there is an art to flying or rather a knack. The knack lies in learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss.” - Douglas Adams |

Wow, it's ages I didn't listen to any of both, I don't even have them on CD only on vinyl, but Rising was my favourite of the two. And yes it was Tony Carey on keys, he did a great job on that album.

"One of Tony's earliest musical experiences was in a band called "Blessings". Tony was in "Blessings" until 1975 when Ritchie Blackmore discovered and hired him as keyboardist of "Rainbow". In 1977 after 2 successful years and 2 world tours Tony Carey left "Rainbow"." http://www.tonycarey.com/e/bio.php" rel="nofollow - http://www.tonycarey.com/e/bio.php |

Obviously, it was Tony Carey on "Rising", then David Stone played keyboards on "Long Live Rock'n'Roll", Don Airey joined Rainbow only to 1979 LP "Down to Earth". ------------- Who are you and who am I to say we know the reason why... (D. Gilmour) |

No it obviously isn't. Just my memory playing tricks. It was a long time ago when it was released. Could hardly be a misprint could it? If he wasn't in the band yet? ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/Snow_Dog" rel="nofollow">

I like and admire both bands, but In Rock is a bit too hit-and-miss. Rising is pivotal in my musical journey. Blargh pretension, it's still true.

In Rock..is a bit dated for me. Basically that's always been my issue with everything ever released that doesn't stand the test of time for me. IN ROCK was a kind of awakening for 60's, 70's musicians to be more ambitious on their instruments within Rock music itself. It was very influential to musicians globally. It gave them ideas on how to play differently and so the album was very important to the growth of Rock musicians in general. I wasn't too fond of the lyrical content. I liked the lyrics to Black Sabbath's "The Wizard"and although plain and simple, they were mysterious and held my attention, But IN ROCK didn't do much for me in that department. RISING from a completely different period than IN ROCK contained more complex lyrics from Dio who wrote stories about dragons and wizards. He decorated his home with them and was a more complex lyricist than Glover and Gillian. 'Stargazer" had a completely different flow musicially. It featured Ritchie Blackmore playing Arabic type phrasings on slide guitar..which!..I found unique. It's too difficult for me to vote. |

Never was a big fan of Purple or Rainbow, though I did like some of the classic Purple tracks, but I did own and play In Rock in college so I'll go with that one. ------------- One does nothing yet nothing is left undone. Haquin |

Bothe albums had Blackmore doing his version of Zeppelin - LZ II's production style for In Rock (dense amd heavy with riff oriented music), and the Kashmir like Eastern feel of some Rising moments. Stargazer, and the instrumntal structures of Do You Close Your Eyes are highlights for me on a fine hard rock album. In Rock is Purple a bit ahead of themselves, very little was played live at the time Into The Fire, Speed King under it's original title kneel and Pray and Child In Time was it I think. They were very much an instrumental band with occasional vocals. But In Rock has dense powerful riffs with contributions from everyone rather than the Blackmore directed masterpiece. Child In Time is a master work. I'd recommend both albums, especially the CD remaster of In Rock (not heard the Rising one. Oh, and Live In Germany supersedes the Rainbow On Stage just for having Stargazer included. You get a lot of Tony Carey soling as well. Probably out from behind his pillar. Trouble (sic) is I like just about everything from Purple and Rainbow. And Sabbath. I do find it interesting how Tony Iommi ended up with most of Ritchie's singers at some time or another and almost started using Blackmore's style. .. |
