2. Holy Diver (1983)
3. Rainbow Rising (1976)
4. Mob Rules (1981)
5. The Last in Line (1984)

This was a pretty damn popular album when it came out, after some less memorable and less successful efforts. Some called it a return to classic Dio sound (I guess lyrically Magica was already a return). Tenacious D was in the music video to Push. Pretty cool album. Throw Away Children is a pretty epic track.

We've still got the six least liked albums left.

Strange Highways

Gonna go with Strange Highways

I voted Magica. It was the first Dio CD I got new, right after release. I played it lots, I still like it a lot. I think Fever Dreams still is one of the best ever Dio songs.

Lock Up The Wolves.

Gonna go Magica this time out. As long as you hit "stop" before that long as hell spoken word track at the end, it's a pretty solid album.

I've had that album for quite some time and not once have I ever listened to that spoken word track.

Lock Up the Wolves

I really need to revisit those albums.

12 votes in and this could go three different ways here.

Still looking for a tie-breaker!

It's a 3-way tie! I'll do a run-off poll soon, if there is no decisive vote here.
