    E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial Dominates the Box Office- Steven Spielberg’s film became the highest-grossing film of all time, further cementing the blockbusters of the 80s.😄 ain’t it?

        It was an era where Rainbow stepped away from Dio-inspired songs. It slowly grew on me of course.

    I remember staying with my grandpa in Bexhill listening to Rio on a radio at a time when my sister was obsessed with Simon le Bon, which puts it early 80s. And I think Richie Blackmore was back in Deep Purple in 1984, so Rainbow weren’t releasing tracks any later than that. I’m going 1983.
