go listen to them back to back the similarities are amazing, dunno why Survivor never took legal action .
I'll have to do that. No surprise that both tracks are in my collection.
Never bought much Dio until recently when I added a five pack of their albums to the collection. I do have Holy Diver on vinyl and cd and saw the tour.

Europe have released some excellent albums in the last few years, plenty of Purple and Zeppelin influences showing but Joey Tempests vocals are still great, as is John Norums playing.Yes, Whitesnake are Classic Rock.
They've just announced a tour for 2022 with Foreigner and Europe supporting them. However, they have an second vocalist to sing all the difficult bits Coverdale can't manage so I think I will pass on that.
First time I saw a version of Whitesnake was, IIRC, 1978 in a small club on Oxford Road.
I've seen Whitesnake several times in different versions. One time was in Nashville where they supported Motely Crue. Now I can't recall which band my wife (to be then, we'd just got engaged a few days before) said it about but she'd been by the pool during the day in the hotel I was living in because I was at work that day (on secondment from UK) and been surprised about some scruffy long haired guys had been by the pool too at one of Nashville's finer hotels until she saw them walk out on stage at the sold out arena we were sat in. The Crue that nite were probably the loudest band I ever heard.

On the other hand I've got more or less every Marillion CD up until Fish called it a day, They just weren't the same after that.

Though I am not a Prog fan in general, Yes are one I like some songs by. I think that has a lot to do with Squire's bass playing.
Squire is one of the great bass players. I only purchased his Fish out of Water in last few years. Had never heard it but a friend recommended it and it is really good. His backing vocals were an important part of the Yes sound and he sings lead well too, reminded me a bit of Sting. I also like the album he did with Steve Hackett - Squackett: A Life Within A Day.
