Any RJD fans? I really like a lot of his stuff. I just got his first band's self-titled debut album, "Elf" (1972). I thought his albums with Rainbow and Black Sabbath were awesome. Dio also has a lot of cool albums, like "Holy Diver." I haven't listened to his new album yet but I hear it's good.

Funny, I just started listening to Dio a few weeks ago, and they've become one of my current faves.  "Rainbow in the Dark" is such an awesome song...I've listened to it dozens of times by now.  Dude has an awesome voice.  I'm also checking out some of his Rainbow and Black Sabbath stuff, although so far at the moment I prefer the Black Sabbath tunes I've heard - "Neon Knights" and "Children of the Sea" - to the Rainbow stuff I've heard.  "Stargazer" is pretty good, but I think it's a little overrated.

I like his lyrics a lot - they're not your ordinary love songs (at least not the ones I've heard).   

I hear many of his songs on internet radio: Last in Line, Rainbow in the dark, Mystery, and that amazing song Heaven and Hell.

Ooo, an "amazing song", eh?  I'll have to download that one.

I love that song "We Rock".  Just the fact that they were pompous enough to put that title on a song, I love that.

Heaven And Hell is one of my favourite songs of all time  ok Assuming we're talking about the Sabbath song here, not some other song with the same title.

I first learned about Dio from the Tenacious D tribute song to him, "Dio."  It's pretty awesome, kinda funny, maybe slightly disrespectful but I think it's all meant in good fun, especially since he posed for a photo with them, with him "passing the torch" to Jack Black.

"Holy Diver" was definitely his best album.  Some of his other ones have some good tunes, "Sunset Superman" for instance.  And the guy puts on a good show.  Sounds as great live as he does in the studio.

Dio rocks pretty hard!!! His solo stuff is great, his singing in Sabbath albums like DEhumanizer, mob Rules and fucking Heaven and Hell rocks!

I recomend his double cd Anthology which has all his work in all the bands he sanged for!  peace
