Found another new band I like! Rainbow!

I know it's not a big deal to everyone when discovering new music, but to me discovering new music is amazing! You find all this music you would normally have never even known about if it had not been for books or even suggestions on the internet or word of mouth by coworkers. This new music ends up being incredibly exciting- you get happy and eager about the prospect of learning more about what this musician or band has to offer in terms of music.

This new band I discovered is called Rainbow. Everyone, I'm sure, is familiar with the name. It's the product of The Man in Black himself, Ritchie Blackmore. He created the band to diffuse the frustration he felt at being in Deep Purple and hearing music that did not appeal to him. He wanted to start a band he could, more or less, control the direction of. I learned about this band after reading Black Knight: Ritchie Blackmore by Jerry Bloom. Reading about the Rainbow eras got me curious about their music and well, now, I'm a fan. I just need to get their other albums. I have their Difficult to Cure, Bent Out of Shape and Straight Between the Eyes albums.
