A Spotify playlist of songs I put together collecting music from throughout Ronnie James Dio's career, with the exception of his very early doo-wop stuff. Yes, really. Before he became the voice of metal he was in a couple of late 50s doo-wop outfits.
EDIT: Ronnie and the Redcaps and later Ronnie Dio and the Prophets spanned 1960 to 1962. Their earliest beginnings was a high school band called The Vegas Kings from 1957.
My new theme song:
IfIHadAHiFi - "Success! Success! Success!"
Let's clear the air
Let's clear the room
Let's turn the place into a f$%$ing tomb
I've thrown out my life like I've thrown out my art
My legacy could use a jump start
(Hey hey)
So let's clear the air
Let's clear the room
The smell of fire is such a sweet perfume
You're obsessed with youth
I'm obsessed with you
This show will debut to horrified reviews
Opportunity is winding down
No one hears you when you're in your 30s now
This gravity can only pull you down
There's no shame in desperation
Now I'm a success! Now I'm a success!

Ronnie James Dio and doo-wop spriggans. Difficult to top.
Chilled-out early '70s bluesy rock. I like it.

Fleetwood Mac - Green Manalishi, live in Boston
One of the heaviest tunes ever created, in all senses of the word.
Oh yes. And Judas Priest's version from "Unleashed in the East" just blows me away.
Izal, Hambre
Al di Meola - Dark Eye Tango

70s Mexican doom metal, recorded in a well filled with old socks, by the sounds of things, and all the better for it.
Myrath -- Shelili
Oops. It's "Shehili", not "Shelili".
