I been obsessed with early Rainbow albums but discovered I like some post Dio Rainbow as well, this compilation is a good mix of Rainbow music as they changed and evolved. I like CD 1 better but CD two gives you some Joe Lynn Turner and other stuff I'm not as familiar with. Good quality CD, good seller, good music.

I love, love,love this CD!!! This is the 2nd one I had to buy because I wore the first one out from playing it so much! NO LIE!!! This anthology does a great job showcasing the best tunes that Rainbow had w/ all 3 of the singers (I'm not counting Dougie because, frankly, I thought he sucked and made no significant contribution). As far as I'm concerned, the best Rainbow lineup to grace the planet was the one w/Dio. You can just feel the awesome forcefulness of his voice on every song on CD 1. You have the late great Cozy Powell bringing on the beat w/ the drums and Ritchie Blackmore on the guitar doing what Ritchie does best--being a Rock God. CD 2 showcases the later lineup w/ Graham Bonnet and Joe Lynn Turner. Since Graham was only w/ Rainbow for a quick minute, there are only 3 songs w/ him on there and the rest have Joe Lynn Turner who has a fantastic voice as well. When Joe joined, Rainbow did turn more mainstream so, in my opinion, these are a bit weaker compared to the Dio tracks. The Dio tracks are just so bombastic that you can't stop listening to them. As I stated before, CD 1 w/ Dio had been in my car player for well over 6 months straight and I listened to it whenever I drove. Yes, it's that good! Good,kick-ass Rock N Roll, folks!!!Read full review
Rainbow the Anthology: If you do not plan to own the entire Rainbow discography this is an excellent purchase to complete your collection. Its covering the Dio era, Graham Bonnet, Joe Lynn Turner with the AOR Rainbow sound. First of all I am a huge Dio fan and I did not want to listen to the other vocals, I was wrong because Ritchie did an excellent job choosing all the line ups, yes its a revolving door for band members but they are all truly amazing! If you are a true Rainbow fan or die hard one get this one its worth every cent. Great collection it has Weiss Heim and Jealous lover.... Cheers
I really love this CD. It just takes me back to my younger days. I like old classic rock. This will always be my choice of music because it is the origination of original music and how it should be. This purchase was great and the overall rating for this CD is excellent. I would recommend to older generation of music lovers.
Thee guys were BIG HAIR METAL before the makeup
