For many, Rosebud & Myself included, the Ronnie James Dio era of Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow, is considered the best. With a trio of studio LP's and one double live LP Dio & Blackmore drew the blueprint for the Power Metal genre. Sword & Sorcery, Maidens, Knights, Kings & Queens became the subject matter for many imitators.
