1. Heaven and Hell (1980) 2. Holy Diver (1983) 3. Rainbow Rising (1976) 4. Mob Rules (1981) 5. The Last in Line (1984)
One night looking pretty
Sophomore solo effort reaches #5 in Dio's all time catalogue. It's a classic album, I just played it this weekend. Beyond the usual "hits", One Night in the City stood out.
But we've got twelve more albums to go.

Artwork For " Long Live Rock and Roll ". The original vinyl release was in a gatefold-sleeve (cover illustrated by Debbie Hall) with a lyric-sheet insert. The crowd picture is actually from a Rush concert, with the wording on the banner the fans were holding replaced by the Rainbow album title and the visible Rush T-shirts airbrushed to black.

Dream Evil for me. First time I saw him live was that tour. Third row center stage, and made our way to the front. Amazing show, and album.

I’m actually a big Dehumanizer fan. After his first two with Sabbath and his first two solo albums… I go straight to that underrated classic.

We need a tie-breaker. Anyone who hasn't voted yet?

Whoever voted for Dehumanizer and The Devil you Know should pick between the two that are tied if nobody else will vote. Of course if they each pick a different one, then I’m out of ideas lol

Here is a tie breaker idea?
Count the votes that each got in all 6 polls so far and call it good?

The impatience! You're like little kids, all of you!
I had the shittiest day possible. Now I'm going to have a beer, and after I'm done I will come and post the next poll. Long Live Rock 'n' Roll won this one 6-5.
