I didn't listen past the first minute of any of those songs. Because in Rainbow's case, I know the band and the only style I like was with Joe Lynn Turner. Threshold - well, it seems like the band never was that popular, and there's usually a reason for that. Besides, upbeat rock songs rarely resonate with me emotionally. "Okay" is not enough for me to spend more than six minutes on when I have better things to do. The other two songs leads to another pronouncement I figured out a few days ago - if I dislike the beginning of a song, there's almost no chance I will like the whole of it.

I can like soft songs (e.g., "Hold on My Heart," by Genesis and "I'm Not the One," by The Cars), but soft songs that go on and no, probably not.
