Oh geesh, how can I pick just one thing ... or even ten things ... or fifty things? Google has at least 95,900,000 suggestions. :P

How about your personal top 20
'The Last in Line' was my favorite Dio song, it inspired a whole campaign for me.
Heaven and Hell with lyrics
During my Electronics O level I made a Ronnie James Diode...
Cruddy video quality, but the KSE cover of Holy Diver rocks my world:

1980 Classic!

good stuff
First Dio I heard, which I saw on Friday Night Videos, c1983.
Great choices so far!
Heres some more:
Just Another Day or Evil Eyes/We Rock/Overlove/I Speed at Night/Kill the King will pick you up and get you moving! Try to drive the speed limit when listening to any of those songs, I dare ya!
Temple of the King is the most d&d-ish for me.
Mystery was one that I played over and over as a teen.
...is the wise man always right? no! he can play the fool...
TV Crime/I/Falling off the Edge of the World/Die Young/Children of the Sea/Lady Evil/and Voodoo, this one!
Gates of Babylon is awesome!
and these words go through my head more and more
...but life's not a wheel
we're chains made of steel
so bless me...
for covers Dio made his own:
Still Im Sad especially this kickass live version!
Ive been thinking about the man and how he has never compromised (though Angry Machines and Strange Highways could be?) and got to sing the songs he wanted till he was 67. What a life! And he kept his feet on the ground and was a gentleman to almost everyone (not Vivian Campbell). I send positive vibes to Wendy and Dan.
Of course he probably won't be remembered for this!still good music.
OFF TOPIC: One of my favorite "Guess who this is?" albums is by the Rocking Vicars featuring a very young Mr Ian Kilminster or Lemmy as he is better known, same sort of '50s rock and roll.
He's on the right
Has anyone mentioned Elf?

Even in his mid sixties his shows were bad ass!

Saw him last year. I concur with that statement. \m/(-,-)\m/
Must check these out tonight.....
Make some private time. It's a hard road to walk if it comes too close to home.....
Check out Fates Warning's 'Sign Of The Southern Cross' tribute.
...and still waiting for my Dio memorial shirt. Hope it didn't get lost in the shuffle.
For a minarchist who's way off the reservation, you got some good tunage choices there, sir.

Politics aside, the music speaks to my melancholy. When I think of lost friends and family I seem to come back here. I've seen an absurd amount of death and loss in my years, but I find a bitter solace in my teen hero.

Agreed.
I was surprised that this was not brought up before. Seeing as it was my first introduction to Dio.
You need to throw up some Elf.
