Yeah, that's what I thought. Discogs has it listed as both.

I always call the album "Rainbow Rising", by joining the band name and album name together - along with many other Rainbow fans - but officially, the album itself is just called "Rising".

So the big question here is - is the title of their second album "Rising" or "Rainbow Rising"?

Wow! Stargazer has got off to a rip-roaring start with 36 points already after just 3 votes, although I guess it was always written in the stars that Stargazer would win the Rainbow poll by a comfortable margin.

Stargazer Kill The King Run With the Wolf Still I'm Sad (Live) Catch The Ranbow Starstruck Long Live RnR Bubbling under: 16C Greensleeves Temple of the King Snake Charmer Still I'm Sad (studio) Tarot Woman Light In The Black Gates of Babylon Eyes Of The World The rest of those early albums is really average , IMHO Anything past DTE (and even most of that one) sucks big time |

LONG LIVE ROCK 'n' ROLL because it's time for some DOWN TO EARTH Hard Rock from RITCHIE BLACKMORE'S RAINBOW. 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. All albums in DEEP PURPLE HIGHLIGHTS by Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow  1st song - 12 points 2nd song - 8 points 3rd song - 6 points 4th song - 4 points 5th song - 3 points 6th song - 2 points 7th song - 1 point Here's my Rainbow Top 7 to get the poll underway:- 1. Stargazer (12 points) 2. A Light in the Black (8 points) 3. Gates of Babylon (6 points) 4. Tarot Woman (4 points) 5. Kill the King (3 points) 6. All Night Long (2 points) 7. Since You've Been Gone (1 point) Edited by Psychedelic Paul - December 20 2023 at 16:22 |
