excuse me if I am being tacky by asking this question a little too soon. I am planning to get more Dio albums to pay tribute to the King. I have already got his awe inspiring "Holy Diver", "Last in Line" and "Sacred Heart".
Got "Rising" by Rainbow and both by "Heaven and Hell" and "Dehumanizer". Just after top 5 albums and Mob Rules would obviously be an essential which now is on my list

Besides the one's you already listed:

Dio- Dream Evil (is at least as good as any of the other Dio album, and
better than Sacred Heart IMO)

Dio - Master of the Moon (monstrous
& doomy. A fantastic Dio release)

Dio - Killing the Dragon
(another fantastic Dio release. I might even say it's in his Top 5)

Dio
- Magica (a concept record. Many didn't like it. I found it to be a very good record. Dio played the entire album from beginning to end on the Magica tour. I was in awe!)

Rainbow - Live in Munich 1977 (I'm a big fan of 70's live albums and this one is no exception. This is Blackmore and Dio at their finest. Three tracks are over fifteen minutes long with one being 25 minutes long.)

Ritchie Blackmore' Rainbow - s/t (of the three Dio-era Rainbow studio albums, this one is probably my least favorite, but it's still a great record and very worth owning. Besides the hit single Man on the Silver Mountain, there are several other great tracks.)

I think MASTER OF THE MOON is very good, better then STRANGE HIGHWAYS. KILLING THE DRAGON is good too, better then MAGICA for exemple.

Richie Blackmore's Rainbow Self titled & Killing The Dragon maybe not the all time timeless classics like Heaven & Hell, Rising, & Holy Diver that have already been mentioned but also worthy editions to your collection as mentioned these albums are right up there though.

Another good one to pick up is Kerry Livgren - Seeds of Change. Dio sings "To Live For The King" and "Masque of the Great Deceiver". It would have been nice to hear those two work on a whole album together.

I agree to the first list, but like Ult said, dont leave out Dream Evil, Killing the Dragon, Master of the Moon, and Heaven and Hell's - The Devil You Know.

Dream Evil is one of the best Dio albums. Absolutely get that one before any of the other Dio albums. Then maybe Killing the Dragon.

And the other two Rainbow albums + Mob Rules are all excellent.

coincidentally I've been giving 'Master of the Moon' another shot...the title track was always a little awkward in structure for me (not a lot of songs pull off the 'extreme altering moods in verse and chorus' thing too well) but I like some of the other stuff, it makes me think of 'Lock up the Wolves' which is the best doomy thing he's done IMO. What does everyone think of the last Dio album?
