:bow :bow :bow
One of the greatest metal vocalists of all time. He has reached METAL GOD status along with Ozzy, Bruce Dickinson, and Rob Halford. But he is best known for his vocal range and fantasy themed lyrics of AWESOMENESS. I salute you, keeper of the realm :bow
THE LAST IN LINE (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZL1RguQL4jQ)
I dare you to watch this entire video and not be amazed by the monster special effects. It's impossible not to headbang to this
HOLY DIVER (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rp5sKz6n8Qc)
Another Dio classic.
HEAVEN AND HELL (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yTQ3tWZM1j8)
From Dio's stint with BLACK SABBATH. That album is fucking classic :bow
RAINBOW IN THE DARK (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DJ_FgL5l1og)
When Dio dies his lungs should be put in a museum. This man is a god. Great music video, or greatest music video ever? YOU DECIDE :violin
STAND UP AND SHOUT - live (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mGj6Cj392Cc)
YOU'VE GOT DESIRE
SO LET IT OUT
YOU'VE GOT THE POWER
STAND UP AND SHOUT
NEON KNIGHTS (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=INr5-xtIKNI)
Another Sabbath cut from the brilliant Heaven and Hell album, Dio's first album with the godfathers of holy metal.
DON'T TALK TO STRANGERS (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QwX8yF8k0ls)
Dio giving life advice to us mere mortals. If only we would listen
MAN ON THE SILVER MOUNTAIN (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CwAvqeNSNJI)
Dio tells the tragic story of the man. On the silver mountain. A tear comes to my ear for a second before I remember THE ROCK

I think that Neon Knights and Die Young from Heaven And Hell are the 2 most underrated Sabbath songs ever. That said, Im still an Ozzy-era man.
NEON KNIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGHTS

Yeah Ozzy pretty much wins by default due to their debut album (title song, The Wizard, Evil Woman) and Paranoid (War Pigs, title song, Planet Caravan, Iron Man...nearly every fucking song).
But Heaven and Hell is amazing
-
Actually, I find the first 2 their weakest. Albums 3 thru 6, when they were getting progressively more into heavy drugs, got better and better. Sabotage, the 6th album, is a mindfuck masterpiece. My favorite album however remains their third, Master of Reality.
-
Pfft I respect that, but Paranoid is basically a greatest hits album - it's nigh perfect. War Pigs was my favorite song for a long time lol.

Also, though Tony Iommi may not be the best guitar player who ever lived, he IS, in my eyes, the best riff-writer there ever was. Fuck Jimmy Page. I dont think a single band has more memorable and awesome guitar licks as Black Sabbath.
EDIT: War Pigs is awesome. For the fun of it, off the top of my head, my 10 fav Sabbath tunes:
- N.I.B.
- War Pigs
- Iron Man
- Children of the Grave (#1 for me)
- Into The Void
- A National Acrobat
- Sabbath Bloody Sabbath
- Spiral Architect
- Megalomania
- Neon Knights

AC/DC. Iommi was amazing at riff writing, but he doesn't touch Young
Also Page isn't really known for being a riff writer; neither is Hendrix for that matter. They were pure guitarists, and miles ahead of everyone else at it.

dio rocks i liked him in sb but holy diver fuckin rocks
