Top Ten Ronnie James Dio Albums
This is a hard choice ass his best solo, Rainbow and Black Sabbath are all so close but I think Holy Diver just about takes the title. A true classic without a single duff song on it. Probably, no definitely, one of the top 5 rock albums of all time that doesn't age.
Dio's voice and Campbell's guitar playing have never been better and the chemistry with Bain and Appice shines through.
Think I'll go and put this on now!
Exactly. You could also argue Rising and Long live Rock N' Roll. The thing is though Rising only has 6 songs which isn't that big of a deal but it does limit the album a little bit. But you could most definitely argue.
Rainbow in the Dark - one of the greatest metal songs of all time. Right here on the Holy Diver album. Excellent
Best song, best album.
Complete powerhouse, the album art sums it up perfectly
One of the first power metal albums. Legendary.
I personally think that Rainbow Rising is overrated. The best, the definitive RJD albums? Heaven and Hell, Holy Diver, Dream Evil, and Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow.
Every song on Heaven and Hell and Holy Diver are excellent, and they are my favourite RJD albums. If H&H is a 10, then HD is a 9.99.
Love this album
Why on earth wasn't this album on the list? Give Her the Gun, Strange Highways, Here's to You? Some of Ronnie's most powerful vocal work is right here on this album.
This album is very awesome and underrated.
I wish the bot voting for this item would stop.
Ritchie and Ronnie were at their best here
The most underrated Ronnie album
This is a seriously underrated album. With awesome classics like All the Fools Sailed Away, Naked in the Rain, and Sunset Superman? Not to mention the title track? It definitely deserves to be higher.
Best live album ever
