DIO IS GOD. :banger:

 

 

 

This is one of my favorite albums of all time, so it's a tough choice to pick my fav song.

 

 

I'll have to go with "Don't Talk to Strangers" but "Invisible", "Stand up and shout", "Holy Diver", "Straight through the Heart", and "Shame on the Night" are all up there for me.

Ooooo... tough one Wes, ya bastard :lol:

 

Toss up between "Don't Talk To Strangers" and "Shame on the Night" for me, but if pressed I'd have to say "Don't Talk To Strangers" simply cuz it's one of the best heavy metal songs EVER in my book.

 

Blind Guardian do a MASSIVE version of that song on the "Holy Dio" tribute album from a few years back too!

Rainbow In The Dark.........Another great album this one :tumbsup:

Great album! Tough one Wes but I had to go with the first Dio song I ever heard which is Holy Diver. I stopped dead in my tracks, turned the radio knob and said "what the hell was that?" "I think I have just heard the future of rock." And I was right. :banger:

Great album ! A masterpiece !

I went with 'Don't Talk To Stranger', without a doubt !

I almost went with DTTS, and I love EVERY fuckin' song on this masterpiece of an album, but I'm gonna break from the crowd and go with Gypsy believe it or not. That song always just rocked in my humble opinion, right from the start it just kicks fuckin' ass! :banger:

As you can tell, I love this album too! Hey Wes, Sacred Heart USE to be my fave:)

 

As for the song, Straight thru the heart for me!

That 's good to hear because Holy Diver buries Sacred Heart.

Well put my Man!! And I believe that DIO Is the Latin or Italian meaning For God...

I just can't remeber which one it is...For me the Track "Holy Diver" Is the best. :banger:

I believe "Dio" is "God" in Italian AND in Spanish, but I could be wrong since I speak neither language...

Doesn't bury it but is better for sure. You & I agree to disagree on Sacred Heart. We have been down that road before Wesley :P

'Rainbow In The Dark'

Posted

Went for the title track,so much qualiy though,terrific album.ALL HAIL THE MIGHTY METAL MIDGET ! :headbanger:

Should I be embarrassed to say I've never heard this disc? Only Dio one I ever heard was 'Lock up the wolves' and it did nothing for me. Does he have any very melodic albums... or is his craft probably not for me?

Yes you should be embarrassed.

 

Seriously even though he's my favorite singer, I'll admit he's not for everyone. If there's any cds you might like of his it would be Sacred Heart or Dream Evil, they probably have the most melodic songs in his catalog. You would probably like "Mystery" from the Last in Line cd also. I could send you a few songs if you like.

    • Yeah I guess it’s a little different for physical CD collectors, but even still, stuff can happen in four weeks. In the world of streaming, especially, there could still be half a dozen notable albums to come this year. I don’t know what they could be as I keep no track at all of upcoming albums, so I never know what’s still to come, which could be anything.    I guess if you’re a meticulous planner and are fully aware of every single new release you might be interested in, and there’s no more due this year - which is probably exactly what this Brendan dude is - no harm in releasing the list. 
    • She came out with in New Romantic era, like Adam and the Ants, Duran Duran Her father, Marty, had big hits in early sixties
    • I think I pretty much have my top ten list, but seeing as I have been tracking it through the year rather than leaving it to the end as normal, I am not sure it will change being that I don't really have more purchases lined up. But being that this year I have really gone wild on filling back catalogue gaps, I may pick up something I missed from this year and that will upset the apple cart ha ha
    • Whoah this is catchy!  
    • Calling for you, Emaheeval & Gone bad on the debut Widowmaker album were all Desperado songs. Of course the Widowmaker debut was released before Desperado's album finally got a release even though it was recorded after. The thing that always made me laugh was that when it was first released as Bloodied but unbowed with three extra tracks to what was the original planned tracklist, I bought it from Dee Sniders website, so was fully endorsed by Dee. But years later when Deadline released it under its original name, Ace, without the three extra songs, Dee claimed it had never been released before ... selective memory?

    • Did not have "liking an album from The Offspring" on my 2024 bingo card, but there we are. Not sure if it's pop, punk, or something else... catchy though.      
    • No no no!  Worst thing in the 80s (musicwise), Modern Talking.
    • Really liking this one bar the Journey cover, which whilst not terrible , doesn’t really do a lot for me. The rest though is rather excellent
