There is, of course, Blackmore's Night <http://www.blackmoresnight.com/> , concocted to appeal to the renaissance faire-type crowd and referred to in the linked article. Frankly, I miss Deep Purple and Dio-era Rainbow most keenly when occasionally exposed to Blackmore's Night. There's nothing wrong with it; it's just not for me.
