me like,.. here's another excellent one

Ah..that is one of my very favorite Styx songs. Excellence!

Forgotten 80s..?

Wasnt that rjds band before dio? I didn't click but going off the name as I'm driving

All the talk about Mark "Eve of Destruction" McGwire made me think of this song.

Rainbow is Richie Blackmore's band, the founding guitarist of Deep Purple. But yeah, Dio was in Rainbow for a long time, before Graham Bonnet & Joe Lynn Turner. Dio went from Rainbow to Black Sabbath for the Heaven & Hell & Mob Rules albums, before forming DIO.

Dio in Rainbow

Sorta.

They were originally established with Ronnie James Dio's American rock band Elf, but after their first album, Blackmore fired the backing members and continued with Dio until 1979.
