I can honestly say that I don't dislike 1 Dio sung song, for me it would be splitting hairs..The man was the "VOICE" of heavy metal

He did indeed.

Sabbath: The Mob Rules
Rainbow: Long Live Rock n Roll
Dio: Stand Up & Shout

On a side note, I e-mailed our arena music guy and he will be playing 'Stand Up & Shout' at my request sometime in the 1st period at tonight's Flyers game. He also played 'Holy Diver' at the Philles game Monday night.

Stars was written by Jimmy Bain, Vivan Campbell and Ronnie James Dio.
