It Happened In The 80's (Part 6)

Rank the albums released in the 80's

1- The Last In Line (1984)
2- Holy Diver (1983)
3- Sacred Heart (1985)
4- Dream Evil (1987)
5- Intermission (1986)

1. Holy Diver
2. The Last in Line
3. Dream Evil

4. Sacred Heart

Sacred Heart is still really good, but it's a step below the other three. And a step above what came immediately after the 80's.

I'd rank "Intermission" higher than "Dream Evil" if not for Vivian's leads being VERY low in the mix.

"Dream Evil" has some catchy tunes, but Goldy's tone is too bright (IMHDO) Did not care for him when Rough Cutt opened for Dio. Both 83 & 84 in Berdoo.  Rising Force opened in 86 (I think)

Anywhose.... RIP Ronnie

I’d ranked the albums by the year they came out - honestly.

Me too.

6. Intermission (1986)
5. Sacred Heart (1985)
4. Dream Evil (1987)
3. Hear 'n Aid (1985) - Such a DIO led project and the song Stars alone puts this that high.
2. The Last in Line (1984)
1. Holy Diver (1983)

Easy…

I rank them in the exact order they were released.

The "cause" was awesome (IMHDO)
But, the project was 'bloated" and the tune was <--- Also (IMHDO)
