Best of Rainbow, best what Blackmore ever wrote, best of Dio to ... simply a 70's masterpiece, harmony, magic, weird inspiration, weird lyrics, muisc and feeling

Written by Bad English on 22.07.2015 at 01:22 I can like Galneryus, X Japan etc. without particularly liking this because it is possible to acknowledge the historical significance of a classic album without actually enjoying it. I feel much the same way about Helloween's "Keeper of the Seven Keys".

I understand the historical and influential value of this album but I consider early Deep Purple albums far more important and better than this one (being that Richie Blackmore was on them). I like 3 songs on this album and to me they're not even that great, apart from "Catch The Rainbow". Let's look at the songs, the two covers are average at most. "If You Don't Like Rock 'N' Roll" or "Self Portrait" are really just 70's rock songs that are good but that's it. So I don't see why this immense glorification of this debut album.
