Will Rainbow be inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame? "Musical excellence is the essential qualification for induction." |

8 comments so far (post your own)In my personal opinion, it should be Rainbow that is inducted, not only Ritchie Blackmore. Ronnie James Dio (R.I.P.) and Cozy Powell have drawn influences also, but they were both the most successful with Rainbow rather than their later careers.

There has not been a post on Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow for 3 years, and I was kind of curious as to what sort of opinions or viewpoints that FRL users may have on the band. With 3 intense, heavy and electrifying albums with Dio, Cozy Powell, Blackmore, Airey and others. And 3 more with Bonnet, and Turner, they definitely left a major footprint in the Rock world. I would think they would be in for discussion for a potential future nomination. Posted by Will N. on Sunday, 01/20/2019 @ 22:51pm |
Rainbow was a force. Man on the silver mountain, Rising, Long live rock n roll, Down to Earth, did not have one weak track. Posted by Marco Mazzoni on Friday, 04/23/2021 @ 23:21pm |
Ritchie Blackmore got inducted with an band that had the most influence & considering the fact that it took DP a long time to get in, then i don't see Rainbow being nominated let alone inducted. Besides Blackmore shouldn't be one of them seeking a second induction (that's pretty much goes to all DP members past & present.) so that Ronnie James Dio could be inducted. Maybe Dio should receive a Musical Excellence Award. Posted by Navonte Robertson on Monday, 07/5/2021 @ 14:53pm |
They should be in for Rising alone. Enough said. Posted by JDL on Sunday, 08/8/2021 @ 17:40pm |
Listening to this band for the first time. I'm listening to the album Difficult to Cure. Track 2 Spotlight Kid has some cool wacky synths! Posted by Cool Hand Luke on Monday, 01/2/2023 @ 06:55am |
Inducting Deep Purple is enough. Posted by power on Monday, 10/16/2023 @ 11:11am |
