When it comes to rock music, Maiden is #1. However I also love other artists, including Ritchie Blackmore, especially his Dio-era Rainbow work. I honestly never paid much attention to post-Dio Rainbow, as I considered it too poppy and commercial. I'm familiar with the big radio hits, but I never listened to the albums.
I was reading some commentary on Rainbow songs in another forum, and someone claimed that Bruce Dickinson ripped off the melody for Powerslave from the Joe Lynn Turner-era Rainbow song "Eyes of Fire", which I had never heard. I listened to it, and, ummm, yeah... maybe it's true... Take a listen:
What do you think?
P.S. I know I said I wouldn't post here again, but it's proving impossible. I love Maiden too much not to discuss them with fellow fans..
