Rainbow is one of my favorite band of all time. They're in another verse. Even though he went to rockers heaven, Dio will be with us forever.

Rainbow is definitely in a league of their own. Coming just a half generation after the holy trinity of rock (Purple, Sabbath and Zeppelin) set the cornerstones of heavy rock, I've always pictured them as a natural evolution, a supergroup. Their debut album is a real gem. And "Rising" truly raised the bar to strat-ospheric levels. "Long Live" is an excellent, mature, even if a farewell album and completes the trilogy just nicely. R.I.P. Dio and Cozy. Long live Blackmore.
Absolutely, it was a legend in each of Dio's and Joe's time.
