Reckon it's fair to say most Quo heads would have been into Rainbow as well?
Pick your favourite 2. (Yes, it should be LYNN turner).

FFS. They had that debate in Classic Rock as well. It lasted for about 5 minutes. The answer is that Obvious.

Both my votes go to Ronnie. His hologram would win second place.

1 Ronnie, 2 JLT. Toured with both and worked with Doogie too, all great singers, just different styles. It was always going to be hard for whoever followed as Ronnie had set such a high benchmark. I think Graham's solo work has always eclipsed his work with Rainbow, he could be his own man and sing material he liked that suited his voice better.
I did sneak into a Rainbow gig with Ronnie Romero singing in the first reformation tour and for me his style just didn't work replacing any of the other vocalists, although he's a great singer in his own right. Had a certain person stuck to his word the present reformed Rainbow lineup would be somewhat different, but then who sticks to their word now?

Had a certain person stuck to his word the present reformed Rainbow lineup would be somewhat different, but then who sticks to their word now? On the new Rainbow. Must admit I did enjoy it. It left myself with two thoughts. One time catches up with everyone. Thought Richie was very good but as time passes it’s just not possible to have the same dexterity of his youth. But why should he to be fair. The second was it must be very hard for any vocalist to cover all the styles covered in the set. Yes I guess it could be loosely called blues rock but he must of sang the very different styles of 5 ? or different singers. Very difficult to nail. As for the thread Ronnie and based solely on my teen years Graham as I loved Down to earth. Which hasn’t aged so well. |

.... I loved Down to earth. Which hasn’t aged so well. True, it hasn't - but EOTW is STILL one of the classic Rock songs/tunes, almost worth the album price alone [but only 'almost!!  ] |
