I actually far prefer songs from the first and the third Rainbow album. It just that these 2 albums had 1-2 songs each that I reaaaaly don't care and I skip them, in contrast with Rising where every song it's a banger and more complete.
Catch the rainbow, temple of the king, man of the silver mountain, kill the king, gates of Babylon and rainbow eyes are my top rainbow songs (then it's stargazer and lady in the lake from rising).
Yeah overall I'd say Rising is my favourite of those three albums, but my favourite song is probably Kill the King, absolutely brilliant song and to me an essential proto Power/Speed metal track.
In addition to the earlier two picks I made, somewhat in jest but not really, I'll add:
Opeth - Still Life
New Model Army - The Ghost of Cain
Metallica - And Justice For All
Metallica - Master of Puppets
Slayer - South of Heaven
Dead Kennedys - Fresh Fruit for Rotting Vegetables (Although the Elvis cover does push it a bit)
Godspeed You Black Emperor - Lift yr Skinny Fists..
Blind Guardian - Nightfall in Middle-Earth (even including the narration stuff, love how it all hangs together)
At The Gates - Slaughter of the Soul
Dillinger Escape Plan - Miss Machine
Paradise Lost - One Second
Dark Tranquillity - Projector
Sigh - Shiki
Harvey Milk - A Small Turn of Human Kindness
Cynic - Focus
Ulver - Perdition City
Amorphis - Tuonela
