Was just listening to some Dio earlier today and had a discussion at work about the best songs Dio sang. So I got to thinking. (Which does hurt for me to do! (Plus I have nothing better to do tonight)) What is your favorite Dio album.

 

Now I did leave out the live and greatest hits. Partly because of space.

 

My favorite is Last In Line. Even though Sacred Heart was my first album by Dio I always thought Last in Line was just a great album with great songs! Plus Vivian Cambell could play guitar when he was with Dio!

Ronnie James DIO is probably in my top 5 ALL-TIME artists.....From Elf to Rainbow to Sabbath to DIO....I've heard 'em all....

 

That being said, I like 'Dream Evil' as a whole....my favorite DIO track is 'Last in Line'.....favorite OVERALL RJD song is 'Stargazer'.....nothing beats this song, IMHO.

 

Everything after Dream Evil sucks, IMHO....a couple of songs off Magica, and most of MotM is good.....

 

anyway, I voted for DREAM EVIL.....

 

 

P.S. he also sings on "We're Stars', and on two songs off of Kerry Livgren's CDs.

I'm with you on everything after Dream Evil, however I think with Magica he started to get back on track and I like Magica alot.

 

I have everything that I can think of Ronnie has done with the exception of a copy of Hear n Aid. One day I'll find that CD. But he is also in my top 5 and one of the few people I haven't seen that I would like to see.

I do have that CD. The song just didn't click. I guess I was thinking of a album title. Scared me there. Thought I was going go shopping tonight. :D

It was a toss up between Holy Diver and Last In Line but I chose Holy Diver by a hair. Dream Evil is also a great album with Sacred Heart just behind that. Killing the Dragon is easily my favorite of anything he has released since '90.

Amusing story I was told about DIO by Vivian Campbell.

If you have got a copy of DIO first live video, where they a playing Donnington.

And you can't hear Viv's guitar on first song, reason why you cant hear it because it not plugged in.

:banger:

      Thunder reissues part 2

      By Captain Howdy · Posted

      I wonder what control they have over the releases? That have promoted the BMG individual releases. The 2009 reissues were by original label, EMI. And this boxset seems weird being issued by Cherry Red. And I have not seen the bands social media promote it at all. I wonder if the reason the BMG ones were lacking in the bonus tracks from the previous reissue was EMI holding onto the rights, but have now allowed Cherry Red to release them. I know EMI used to be the distributer for Cherry Red, so they may be more forthcoming with the material.

      Yep, cracking indie release of which there are so many but this one is actually really good.

      Babymetal

      I have been a Band Maid fan since their early days (2015) as I really don't mind foreign vocals as long as the music is great, but I always kinda avoided Babymetal as I saw a video of them once and really wasn't impressed with the kiddy vocals, so never gave them another chance. Fast forward to now and on the back of the collab with Electric Callboy I have decided to give them a go. I thought they had a huge discography as they have like 25 albums, but on closer inspection it is only four studio albums and 21 live albums. As I am not a fan of live albums anyway, I decided to buy the four studio albums as they are all quite cheap. Have to say there music is a mixed bag, but overall really enjoying a lot of it. Not sure if I just picked the wrong song to start with, or if it is just that I have adapted more due to getting into a lot of weird and wonderful foreign bands over the last few years, but I am glad I finally gave them a proper go. Have to say, if this song was sung in English I think they would have a lot of fans on here
