Rainbow Discography (Paperback)

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The following is a comprehensive discography of Rainbow, an English hard rock band. Over the years they have released 8 studio albums, 6 live albums, 6 compilation albums, 1 EP and 18 singles. Hard rock (or heavy rock) is a loosely defined genre of rock music which has its earliest roots in mid-1960s garage, blues rock and psychedelic rock. It is typified by a heavy use of distorted electric guitars, bass guitar, drums, and often accompanied with pianos, and keyboards. It developed into a major form of popular music in the 1970s, with bands like Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Aerosmith, AC/DC and Van Halen, reaching a commercial peak in the mid 1980s. The glam metal of bands like Bon Jovi and Def Leppard and the rawer sounds of Guns N' Roses followed up with great success in the later part of that decade, before losing popularity in the face of grunge.
