Texas King Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 For an album my choice will be definitely Rising, a hard rock masterpiece IMO. For a song it's gotta be Stargazer, off the mentioned album. Dio era of Rainbow is outstanding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J2112YYZ Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 Album - RisingSong - Stargazer (but Gates of Babylon could take it too) Same here. I give the edge to Stargazer but Gates is great as well. Those two are probably my favorite vocal performances from Dio. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucas Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 First song that came to mind was Tarot Woman - I love that intro But I'm going All Night Long .. I like Graham Bonnet 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treeduck Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 First song that came to mind was Tarot Woman - I love that intro But I'm going All Night Long .. I like Graham BonnetThat keyboard intro is amazing. And the song is great. Bonnet is a beast! Have you got his new album?? My copy arrived Saturday along with the new Glenn Hughes and I'll be giving them a spin later. I got the deluxe edition with a bonus disc featuring a bunch of re-recorded Bonnet stuff, Rainbow, MSG, Alcatrazz etc so that'll be interesting too. I'll probably just blast the new album disc initially though, I also need to listen to the new Testament album. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Your_Lion Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 I could pick any of the first 3 albums with Dio, or the Bonnet one. I love each one. But I think at this minute I'm going to go with Long Live Rock 'n' Roll. Next week I'll probably change my mind. As for song, the three I would mention are the ones that have already been mentioned, Stargazer, Gates of Babylon and Tarot Woman.But I've also got a soft spot for The Temple of the King, from the debut, and Eyes of the World with Bonnet. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blueschica Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 I don't know, you can't beat the original Rainbow album in my eyes, although my favorite version of my favorite song isn't on it. I've always loved "Man on the Silver Mountain", but I prefer the live version; the one on the album sounds pretty tame after hearing it live. :) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
