Love many of these albums, but I'm going with the underrated Strange Highways.

I voted a while ago, but can't remember if it was for Rainbow Rising or Heaven & Hell

Not my favourite place for Dio to be overall but I had to vote for Rising - an absolute classic.

There has always got to at least be one.  As I noted in the opening thread I was listing studio albums.  I could be wrong as they may or may not of re-recorded it in the studios, but Live Evil is not a studio album.  That said, I am irritable right now, and it is a great live album.

so true, for me the other way round (but still by an inch) - both albums absolute masterpieces

Same here, but after that I couldn't bring myself to listen to him any more. His passing really hit me hard, even if I didn't know him personally.

These two are my favourites as well in the same order, but as I've only this year started to really get into his works I haven't heard enough to make a vote. So far I know everything he did with Sabbath and Heaven & Hell, Rising, Holy Diver and the few tracks on the Very Best of Rainbow. I'm planning to buy at least the two missing Rainbow albums and the mentioned Holy Diver (the one I listened to was borrowed from library), perhaps some other solo stuff when the time comes.

it's hard to pick but in his Rainbow era, probably Dio is still growing and a bit overshadowed by Blackmore's persona, Heaven and Hell is a good pick though but I guess Holy Diver for me :)

I suspect that many would probably rate Sacred Heart as his worst release but I used to absolutely love Rock N Roll Children.  It was the video that really made that song for me, although I suppose it would probably be considered super cheesy by today's standards.

I had such a crush on the girl in this video.
