I wanted to do this around the time of Ronnie James Dio's death a few years ago, but I don't think I ever got around to it. So, I came up with this list a few days ago. I think I about nailed it, but I'm sure someone will tell me if I goofed. Anything Ronnie ever sang is fair game. Not only Dio, but Rainbow and Black Sabbath, hell, Elf too! Here's my list: 10-Long Live Rock'n Roll (Rainbow) 9-Last In Line (Dio) 8-Snake Charmer (Rainbow) 7-Lady Of The Lake (Rainbow) 6-Don't Talk To Strangers (Dio) 5-Kill The King (Rainbow) 4-Rainbow In The Dark (Dio) 3-Holy Diver (Dio) 2-Heaven And Hell (Black Sabbath) 1-Man On A Silver Mountain (Rainbow) As you can see, I'm a little biased toward his work with Rainbow. So what? What did I miss?  |

Last week I made a homemade Dio Box Set. It is four discs with all his best from 1972-2009. I called it The Malocchio. That's the official name given to the Devil Horns sign. I made each cover look like this (just with different years on each):  But my top ten is: 1. Heaven and Hell (Black Sabbath) 2. Holy Diver (Dio) 3. The Temple of the King (Rainbow) 4. Wonderworld (Elf) 5. Children of the Sea (Black Sabbath) 6. Sacred Heart (Dio) 7. Don't Talk to Strangers (Dio) 8. The Sign of the Southern Cross (Black Sabbath) 9. Sixteenth Century Greensleeves (Rainbow) 10. All the Fools Sailed Away (Dio) |

1. Gates Of Babylon- Rainbow
2. Heaven & Hell - Black Sabbath
3. Sunset Superman - Dio
4. Die Young - Black Sabbath
5. Bible Black - Heaven & Hell
6. The Devil Cried - Black Sabbath
7. The Mob Rules - Black Sabbath
8. Holy Diver - Dio

As you can see Im partial to his Sabbath stuff. That IMO is the only good Sabbath there is. But thats a completly different thread...

For shits and giggles…Let me add a top ten from just his later-day albums (1994-2009)
1. Bible Black (The Devil You Know)
2. Losing My Insanity (Magica)
3. Killing the Dragon (Killing the Dragon)
4. One More for the Road (Master of the Moon)
5. Better in the Dark (Killing the Dragon)
6. Master of the Moon (Master of the Moon)
7. Eating the Canniblas (The Devil You Know)
8. This is Your Life (Angry Machines)
9. The Chase (With Queensryche from Operation: Mindcrime II)
10. Fever Dreams (Magica)
Nothing from Strange Highways made the cut. That and Angry Machines are easily his worst efforts.

Actually Killing the Dragon & Along Came a Spider were thoughts when I was making my list but they didn't make the cut. At first I didn't care for the tune Along Came a Spider but it grew on me
