Rainbow Documentary

Yeah, i think Dio was removed because Blackmore didn't think they were commercial enough. Blackmore was after some top 40 exposure in America...hence we later got Stone Cold and Street of Dreams. Blackmore got exactly what he wanted done on those records which was try and cross into the mainstream. It wasn't because he didn't know what he was doing or was past his prime. If that were the case, Deep Purple's Perfect Strangers wouldn't have been as killer as it was.

Holy Diver was shit. I have not heard the other two.

You never heard "Heaven and Hell"??

What were you listening to in 1980? Disco?? Leif Garrett??

[philouze]

In 1982 Too Fast For Love came out...

[chefcraig]

Don't ask me, that's beyond me..

As far as 1982, some cool stuff came out. Let me refresh some short memories here:



And I'm sure I'm forgetting some more.

How's about this little life changing boxed set?

Bay City Rollers


They were so dreamy. Other than that, I wasn't born yet.

So...let's go kick his ass.

Didn't it come out in '81 ? I can't remember exactly. What I rememeber, though, is that SUNPYG is indeed Life Changing. As well as a majority of FZ albums.

Oh, and didn't the Gay City Rollers sing Shang-a-lang, or something ?

If you haven't heard Rainbow Rising you can't really have a qualified opinion on this topic. You have to know the subject matter don't you?

I didn't notice that, Sonrisa.. Good point !!!!

Zappa was an overrated fool. Pretentiousness personified. The only records he ever did that were worth a shit were:

Apostrophe
Overnight Sensation
Roxy And Elsewhere
Hot Rats
That live one he did with Captain Beefheart
Zappa In New York

'Man On The Silver Mountain', right?

JUST SAY YOU DON'T LIKE HIS PERSONALITY.
And the one he did with Van Vliet was Bongo Fury.

'Man On The Silver Mountain', right?

On the first album. NOT Rising.

Oxxo - Wirley Girl

Good lord!

I thought I had purged all memory of that horrid piece of shit from my brain.

There were few songs in the 80's that I truly despised. Many that I thought were cheesy or lame or would otherwise not choose to listen to voluntarily, but few that I really hated.

That one probably would take up the top 5 slots on that chart
