I'm just gonna say:

Worst: Angry Machines

And leave it at that.

Haven't heard Angry Machines in a long time, just listened to Lock Up The Wolves the other day, not as bad as I first thought, not very good though either.

Holy Diver
The Last In Line
Killing The Dragon
Dream Evil
Strange Highways
Master Of The Moon
Sacred Heart
Lock Up The Wolves
Angry Machines
Magica

All excellent, I rank them pretty much in the order they come, except i like Masters more then Magica.

Hmm, why all the disdain for Magica? I think it's a grat LP, way better then Lock Up.....or Angry Machines!

Holy Diver 9
The Last In Line 9
sacred heart 9 (totaly underrated in my opinion)
Dream Evil 9
lock up the wolves 6
strange highways 7 (again underrated by many fans)
angry machines 3
magica 5
killing the dragon 8
master of the moon 7

Now that I've heard it I will put Last In Line at #2 and even though I don't have it yet (I have heard all but two of the songs) I would put Holy Diver at #1.

I feel the same way about the disdain for Lock Up The Wolves. Maybe seeing as it was my first Dio album I am a little less biased than others.

1) Holy Diver. Truly one of the best releases in metal, and rock, history.
2) The Last In Line. Solid, but not as good as HD. Then again, what is?
3) Intermission. I care not what anyone says, this is a pretty danged good record.
4) Dream Evil. Good album. Favorite song is "Sunset Superman".
5) Magica. The best record Dio's released since the 80's, in my opinion.

Sacred Heart and Dream Evil tie for my top pick, so you have to buy those as well.
