1. Heaven and Hell (1980) 2. Holy Diver (1983) 3. Rainbow Rising (1976) 4. Mob Rules (1981) 5. The Last in Line (1984) 6. Long Live Rock 'n' Roll (1978)
I'm steel So come and try to bend me if you can, hah
This was my first Rainbow album, and still my favourite. Peak Dio, peak Blackmore, Cozy Powell, the birth of power metal, all sorts of things happening here.
But which album gets 7th place? Is it Dream Evil, or will there be a challenger that can topple it? The previous poll was the closest we've had so far.

I saw the Sacred Heart tour. My memory isn’t as good as it once was….. But DIO was huge for me and my partying friends. So glad they professionally filmed that 1985 show.

If it's an obvious runaway poll like it appears to be, we'll wrap it up Saturday or Sunday and get on with it.
Dream Evil is a great record and I voted for it too. The band opened up with Sunset Superman the first time I saw them.

I didn’t know MURRAY - was the name of Dio’s demonic mascot. Good trivia question - Dream Evil was the last time he appeared - ( Except on singles and compilations ) Initial drawing by Gene Hunter ( musician, as well ) Randy Berret seems to have added the rest, you could say.
