![Dio - The Last in Line (Full Album) [Official Video]](/img/n.gif)
Ronnie's band Elf played at a party about a half mile from my home could hear it clear as a bell.
Would be happy to see you do these Sea of Tranquility type ranking the album shows on more great bands Doc, this was good.
I agree 110% with you on Elf. I tried to get in to it, just not my thing musically. I prefer Ronnie's :1959-1965 doo wop bands, over Elf. I was blown away when Angry Machine's originally dropped in 1996. I was fortunate to met Dio on that particular tour. I saw Dio several times, between: 1981 to 2008. Many times at the Philadelphia Spectrum, through out the '80s. My wife was a journalist for Metal Maniacs magazine for 15 years, she was blessed to have interviewed Dio three times, once in person, for an hour, at his former record label, in NYC. R.I.P. R.J.D.
Hell yes, this is a ranking loooong overdue.
Hell ya, great ranking and stories, Ralph!! I got my ass beat once too for sneaking out to a show…worth every lash.
I own every RJD record on vinyl, from the four bands.
Do you own Dio at Domino's?
@@ale.2p284 i don't think so. That's a live one? i have most of his live stuff, but am missing a couple.
@@docvader82. Well, it may be fake, because its existence seems weird, but in theory it's an album he did in the 60s, before Elf, in a band called Ronnie and the Prophets. They played doo-wop, rhythm and blues and rock and roll, and I think the album has both studio and live tracks.
Oh, gotcha. I've got some Elf albums, but nothing from before those days.@@ale.2p284
I have it somewhere I think it is a compilation of the doo woo stuff
Elf was the music Ronnie James Dio truly loved the most. He was really into Honky tonk piano, and doo wap
I love Do You Close Your Eyes, Mystery, and I Could've Been A Dreamer. You don't but thats cool. I just happen to like them. LA '59 is a good record and I have the vinyl to that. I also love the first Elf album. My favorite song is I'm Coming Back For You. Dio was a true metal god.
Great list. I didn't know you did faze linear videos. Those kick ass and I watch em all the time.
I love all Dio the metal God's stuff, saw him a half dozen different times and I also think Lock Up The Wolves is really a great and underrated album along with the fact I think his voice was at an all time peak on that Lock Up The Wolves 90 tour incredibly
Dont forget Born Again , amazing sabbath album.
I love all dio albums, my list would be different but good video
So I just found your channel enjoyed your Dio album rundown you must be in FL I lived in Bartow from 1965 to69 St Petersburg from 69 to 83 Ft Lauderdale from 82 to 2001 and you had mentioned somes show I saw Never say Die tour with Van Halen 1978 at in The in Bayfront Center I was 17 I saw the Black on and Blue Tour at the Nassau Coliseum I'm from Jersey and I was up there visiting relatives at in the end of show Sabbath Iommi Gezzer Dio took the stage with BOC and did a BRUTAL version of BORN TO BE WILD next saw Last in Line at the Lakeland Civic Center and saw the dam album on just in sliped my brain the dragon tour with Guffria on lead and ihad to save the best for last 1976 I was 16 I saw Foghat on the Fool for the City tour w/special guest stars Blackmore's 🌈 with the 40 ft Span wow Lakeland Civic Center great memories Kiss 1975 /Queen -Thin Lizzy 1977/ Van Halen 1979 w Tallest Billy Sheehan on bass that was 1979 anyway great memories and the most I paid for a ticket in the 70s was 10 bucks Led Zeppelin at Tampa Stadium the infamous Rain or Shine show the 3 song show opening The Song Remains the Same-The Rover - Nobody's fault but mine and a slight drizzle around 8:45 lasted about 8 minutes gone as I'm typing this I'm watching in your Black on Sabbath Documentary for me Sabatoge their best and I love in Technical Ectesy how I'll keep watching you keep putting out the kick ass content from Austin TX I'm Jimbo and im out
For me it's Heaven and Hell and I think it may be the best Sabbath record also. I do love Ozzy, especially on Sabotage, Volume 4 and Masters of Reality but I saw Sabbath live on the Dehumanizer tour with Dio and holy hell was that amazing. It made me realize that Dio was well beyond what Ozzy could do vocally live. Even when Dio did some Ozzy songs, they were done brilliantly. It's two totally different styles and approach so it also depends on what mood you're in. I just can't justify another record over H & H. It's too damn good!
Hey Raphie Thanks for the Dio Ranking. I picked up 3 Dio records on Friday. Strange Highways , Anger Machines & Dio - Finding The Sacred Heart - Live In Philly 1986. Stay Frosty , Listen to Black Sabbath & Dio & Shmackemagob !!! \m/ \m/
Shmackemagob, Charles!
1. Elf - Trying to Burn the Sun
2. Rainbow - Rising
3. Rainbow - Long Live Rock‘n‘ Roll
4. Blackmore‘s Rainbow (Debut)
5. Dio - Holy Diver
I‘m an old fashioned Music Fan , I Love
the 70‘s and sometimes the 80‘s !
Flawless list in perfect order. I only saw him once on the same tour as Megadeth. Which reminds me that Cocaine is a hell of a drug.
Cool list!
I have Dehumanizer over Mob Rules, as I just think Dehumanizer has the stronger tracks over all. Mob Rules is really up and down for me: "The Sign of the Southern Cross" is my favorite Dio-Sabbath track, and I love "Falling Off the Edge of the World," and "Over and Over," but none of the other tracks inspire love for me the same way as everything on Dehumanizer does (save "TV Crimes" and "Time Machine"). I grin every time Geezer's bass line to "Master of Insanity" comes on, "I" is an all-time track for me. "Letters From Earth," "Computer God," "After All (The Dead)," "Buried Alive," and "Sins of the Father" are all awesome, too.
We do agree on the top two, though: I agree with everything that you said about Heaven And Hell; there are no bad tracks on that album. I even really dig "Walk Away," as almost a bit of an experiment to see if they could do a great job with a song like that. As for Rising, I actually disagree regarding "Do You Close Your Eyes;" that song has so many hooks fit expertly in less than 3 minutes. Not exactly something you'd expect Dio-era Rainbow to put out, but it's still done perfectly. And everything else is just epic, especially "Stargazer." I found that song a little over a week ago, going through Dio's non-solo catalogue, and it nearly melted my face off on the bus on the way to work. That record is genre-creating artistry.
Trying to Burn the sun is the ONLY cover! LA 59(or Carolina County Ball which had the band standing on a balcony) had 2 covers. After reading his book and looking at things from a different angle, I think that album is the best of the three. Gambler Gambler from the 1st album should also get honorable mention.
Long Live Rock and Roll is phenomenal, and I'm only really into the first 6 DIO albums, angry machines has Institutional man which I love but not a fan of that album. Strange Highways is another favorite I love how devastatingly heavy it is haha. and the Devil You Know is marvelous as well, took me awhile to get into
What a coincidence 😂 I was just listening to Ronnie James Dio
Id like to see more individual MUSCIAN ranks rather than just bands. For example id like to see Phil Anselmo albums ranked, Chris Cornell albums ranked etc.
I haven't heard the Elf stuff, so I'll just rank the albums he did starting with Rainbow onwards:
1. Long Live Rock 'n' Roll
2. Rising
3. The Last in Line
4. Heaven and Hell
5. Holy Diver
6. The Mob Rules
7. Strange Highways
8. The Devil You Know
9. Dream Evil
10. Rainbow
11. Magica
12. Dehumanizer
13. Lock Up the Wolves
14. Killing the Dragon
15. Sacred Heart
16. Masters of the Moon
17. Angry Machines
@@Hzim007
The self-titled debut? I put it at #10
You should definetely hear the Elf albums. Great classic rock. Can be easily found here on youtube. Btw, did you know Dio started his career already in the 50's?
That signed album IS AN Artifact!
Listening to Heaven and Hell live at Radio City always chokes me up. First time I heard it I cried.
Ronnie is out there, actually dying and belting it out. Unbelievable...he is the best.
Not dying man that show was in 07. He was great then. He discovered stomach cancer in 09. Died 6 months later in 10.
@@dalepearson8475 Yep. The Wacken show I think is more accurate to the original comment. Which, given the circumstances, Dio's performance there was still unbelievably impressive.
DIO man was great all his life so what can we say here Elf, Rainbow, Black Sabbath and the Band DIO we miss him but I still play his music he left us
True king off metal Rainbow Rising. Black Sabbath Mob Rules. and DIO Holy Diver 3 topp albums. Stand so high on my list .....
RJD like you said, nicest guy in metal together with KK DOWNING.
1. Heaven and Hell
2. Rising
3. Long Live R´R
4. Last in Line
5. Rainbow First
6. Holy Diver
7. Dehumanizer
8. Mob Rules
9. Dream Evil
10. The Devil you know
I got all the remastered double disc Dio albums. The second discs have a lot of great shit!!
What a run he had, Rise, Long Live Rock n Roll, Heaven and Hell, Mob Rules, Holy Diver, Last In Line. His run is the greatest in rock history period.
As the singer in the middle of a great band no one could touch him. As the leader of the band, not so much. Things started sounding too much alike after Last in Line.
The Shed is Killer and unbelievably underrated.
Black Sabbath with Ozzy, and Ozzy solo, Rainbow with Dio, Dio Sabbath and Dio solo account for an incredible number of excellent albums.
I love Elf.
How about do you like the woo bop era of Ronnie Dio and the prophets?
I agree, the Elf debut is the best Elf record.
I love the first elf album but rainbow is on the second one.i saw Master of the moon tour in 2004.
I love his elf albums…am I the only one..?
Awesome
It’s Carolina County Ball, not Carolina Country Ball. Just saying. Also disliking Master Of Insanity? That song has a great Iommi riff in it!
Dream Evil is my favorite Dio album. Lock up the Wolves drove me crazy with its mediocrity.
Hey, AlmostH,.... I can't agree with you any more on Sacred Heart which I felt was a HUGE letdown after Last In Line(perhaps a thread here for you to explore:::: "Disappointing. Albums Following A Stellar. Release")....I don't know, but to me the album seems phoned in.....In case you didn't know, Viv C himself has gone on to call this album none other than a " streaming pile of shite(Irish version!)".... Interesting ranking by you, obviously done with taste and respect for RJD... Take Care, Ghostrider Rick

This will be a funny one.
Do you ever feel guilty making money off other people work and soliciting donations ? Probably not
Sacred Heart is probably my least favorite Dio band record. Too poppy.
Wow thanks that was so good
