Don't kill me pls...
I know it’s the “Normie” Pick but Holy Diver is my favorite. Just a Perfect album from start to finish.
Gypsy so good
WTF since when does Popular oppinion mean Normie oppinion
Same, I hate going with the consensus but Holy Diver's my fav.
@Autistic Dolphin54 Exactly. Sometimes the popular choice is the popular choice for a reason! Also, I feel bad for you Mr. Dolphin for your autism. I hope you have been able to overcome it through awesome music like Dio.
when you click the video of Holy Diver by Dio. The comments are flooded by DIO from Jojo's Bizzare Adventure.
Good taste!
All the fools sailed away is an awesome song. I'm still trying to understand it's meaning in the lyrics.
Thank you for your kind words about that song! It's mainly about how no matter what walk of life we come from or our beliefs we are all subject to being fooled by the things we love that seemingly love of us back....but don't! And before we know it we are led down the path we thought was all about the great things we loved and believe in are actually deceiving us as we climb aboard and sail away!
Holy Diver is my favorite album. Don’t Talk to Strangers is a masterpiece and Shame on the Night is probably my favorite closer song of all time
10). Angry Machines
9). Master Of The Moon
8). Killing The Dragon
7). Magica
6). Strange Highways
5). Lock Up The Wolves
4). Holy Diver
3). The Last In Line
2). Sacred Heart (Hungry For Heaven is my favorite Dio song and one of my favorite songs of all time hahahah...)
1). Dream Evil
I like the idea of fav. Dio songs better than albums. There's more parody. So. Here we go. My ten.
1. Don't Talk to Strangers (It has everything. This one song sums up Dio perfectly)
2. I Speed at Night (Appice's snare drum w/ Bain's bass is so amazing!)
3. Dream Evil (This song/record is so cool. Love Craig's distortion. Very Blackmore)
4. Why Are They Watching Me (Rowan is such a soulful shredder. This album is cool "blues metal")
5. Shame on the Night (Excellent closer to Holy Diver. I love the pace of this song)
6. Caught in the Middle (More of a classic rock song. Dio's voice is so smooth)
7. Shivers (What a groove! Craig's solo is one of my favs.)
8. Egypt (Epic! Dio closes another masterpiece of an album)
9. Killing the Dragon (When I put this cd on the day it came out, I was like: DIO's BACK!)
10. Jesus, Mary, and the Holy Ghost. (Tracy G does some things I've NEVER heard on guitar. What a riff!)
I was lucky that I got to see Dio multiple times best concerts ever! For me Holy Diver will always be my number 1.
Totally agree with your order (almost). I personally have Last In Line #1 and Dream Evil #2. Last In Line is my go to Dio album and The title track is my favorite Dio song by a Looooooonnng Mile.
I love them all, but my top 3 is pretty rock-solid:
1. The Last In Line
2. Holy Diver
3. Strange Highways
1. Holy Diver
2. The Last in Line
3. Dream Evil
4. Lock Up the Wolves
5. Strange Highways
6. Sacred Heart
7. Killing the Dragon
8. Magica
9. Master of the Moon
10. Angry Machines
Top 4 and fav song on each
1. Strange Highways - Jesus, Mary & The Holy Ghost
2. Angry Machines - Black
3. Master of the Moon - One More for the Road
4. Sacred Heart - Hungry for Heaven
"Don't Tell The Kids" From Angry Machines is pretty catchy
Dream evil is the best for me as well
I'm gonna have to give it another listen then for sure. I remember loving Night People and All the Fools Sailed Away.
Edit: Yeah it's a great album. I can't really put it ahead of Holy Diver and The Last in Line for me personally though.
Dio and Rainbow(with Dio) were my first bands I listened in Hard rock/Metal. Rainbow Rising is still in my top 5 favourite album of all time, the song Stargazer is so good!
So glad I got to see Dio live before he past away. It was on the Heaven and Hell tour, which was essentially Black Sabbath but they had to change their name due to a dispute with Ozzy.
"Overlove" is perhaps my #1 favorite from Dio. Few guitar riffs are as cool as that. A truly terrific song.
Yes, that riff has a ‘Hot For Teacher’ feel about it, and even channels some Rockabilly influences.
Great to hear a different view point from you. I felt the Dio debut was the best of the Viv Campbell era. It went slightly off the boil for on ‘Last In Line’ & by ‘Sacred Heart’, it was a case of diminishing returns. Yes, ‘The Last In Line’ is a one the the very best. All these years on it’s the deeper cuts lIke ‘Eat Your Heart Out’ that I return to. ‘Like A Beat Of A Heart’ is a re-heat of ‘Straight Through The Heart’. Good to see ‘Strange Highways’ getting some love.
Finally a ranking that doesn't have Holy Diver at number one.
I've watched the KD/MF and Dio ranking videos. Like that you do it from your own personal preference.
Dream Evil totally underrated but it would still only be my #2. Last In Line is still my favourite.
The Last in Line and Holy Diver have been talked to death. It's great to see Strange Highways getting some love. Tracy G shines and his chops are at least equal to any of Dio's axe-slingers. There are memorable riffs and catchy melodies. The production is top-notch. Vinny Appice is always great. And the addition of Jeff Pilson on bass and backing vocals launched Dio to the next level. Holy Diver and Last in Line tie for first on my list of personal favorites. Strange Highways is second.
1. Holy diver
2. The last in line
3. Dream evil
4. Magica
5. Sacred heart
6. Strange highways
7. Lock up the wolves
8. Master of the moon
9. Killing the dragon
10. Angry machines
Thanks for making me check out Evil on Queen Street! I live on said street 😂🤘
The Last in Line is probably my favourite, followed closely by Dream Evil which was far and away my favourite album of 1987. I’m old enough remember so clearly the way critics in Kerrang and Metal Hammer absolutely mauled everything Dio did from Sacred Heart onward through to Lock Up the Wolves. They said he was boring and out of touch… that the themes of dragons and rainbows were old fashioned, and generally compared Dio poorly to to newer bands like Metallica and Slayer. Dio’s appearance at Donington in 87 was slated as stodgy and boring. It really seemed like the rock press were determined to bury the band. Amazing how things turned full circle and Ronnie is now regarded as one of the true greats. Just goes to show that critics know fuck all!
So, my top ten:
The Last in Line
Dream Evil
Sacred Heart
Holy Dio
Killing the Dragon
Lock Up the Wolves
Strange Highways
Master of the Moon
Magica
Angry Machines
10. Magica
9. Angry Machines
8. Lock Up the Wolves
7. Strange Highways
6. Killing the Dragon
5. Master of the Moon
4. Dream Evil
3. Sacred Heart
2. Holy Diver
1. The Last in Line

Wow, hot take that All the Fools Sailed Away rivaled Master of Puppets and Painkiller. My eyebrow was raised.

Yeah there isn't a Bad Dio Album.
If I have a least Favorite Album with Dio, May be when He was in ELF.
Controversial. “Dream Evil” at #1! I haven’t listened to this album in probably 30 years so I went back and listened to it again. I will say It is better than I remember. I would say rotate “Dream Evil” to 3. I agree with “Last In Line” being a better album than “Holy Diver” even though it doesn’t get as much praise. Much like I find “Diary of a Madman” to be better overall than “Blizzard of Oz”.
I saw that your favorite thrash band is Megadeth. You should definitely do a Megadeth ranking soon
Love them all!
I actually always appreciated Strange Highways and Angry Machines
Weird Take: I hate that song Sunset Superman, it's too repetitive. I bet I'm alone on this one but yeah.
Edit: So I listened to Dream Evil again and I gotta say that I was tripping! It's a great song. I love the verses and the guitar solo. Sure it's a bit repetitive at the end, but it's still a great song!
Last in line #1

5. Lock Up the Wolves
6. Master of the Moon
7. Sacred Heart

Magica is top 3.
What!? Sacred Heart the song better than Holy Diver the song? Hmmmm. Well, it's your list.
Sacred Heart as an album is tired and boring. The production is crap. Tinny and brittle. Viv's distortion is so bad. Shoot Shoot is a horrid song.
Holy Diver's hidden gem is Shame on the Night.
Atleast smth good
