Song: The Decemberists:California One/Youth And Beauty Brigade
Nominated By: King_Nee1114 (talk page • contributions • deletions)
Date: May 14, 2008
Reason: At 9 minutes and 50 seconds in length, the word 'juggernaut' is not an uncommon way to describe this song. The first half is about California 1, the highway that runs along the Pacific Ocean. After an interlude, the song flows into Youth and Beauty Brigade, a song about collecting the misfits of society into a brigade. The song as a whole is lyrically very strong, but really shines in conjunction with the instrumentalizations. Guitars of all kinds, bass cellos, and all of the other trademark Decemberists instruments make this song a wonderful, powerful piece.
Released in 1997, it's one of the most recognizable Rainbow compilations. While not quite as comprehensive as 2003's The Anthology, it still has all of the essentials to keep fans interested. Covering the Ronnie Dio era, popular hits present are "Man on the Silver Mountain," "Stargazer," "Kill the King," and "Gates of Babylon." From Graham Bonnet's tenure there are more commercial, pop-oriented hits including "Since You Been Gone" and "I Surrender." And last, but not least, is the Joe Lynn Turner era, which featured the band's only Top 40 hit, "Stone Cold." My personal favorite from Turner is "Jealous Lover." It's just very bouncy and upbeat; a stark contrast to the sword-and-sorcery images painted by Dio. All in all, I think it's a great album, and a must-have for any fan of Ritchie Blackmore's music.
