Original post

For my vote I chose Rainbow, Ritchie Blackmore is an amazing guitarist and it goes really well with Dios voice, I havnt heard enough Elf to judge, and some Dio solo albums can be a little dry and forgettable. So it was down to Rainbow & Sabbath, but since Long Live Rock N Roll is my favorite album of all time I have to go with Rainbow.

Anyone else liked or listened to his pre-Elf stuff (Ronnie Dio And The Prophets, Ronnie And The Redcaps)?

Written by Marcel Hubregtse on 01.01.2015 at 02:18 I argee Rainbow was much better musically, lyrically as his solo albums, what was not good, some yes, some songs yes but albums no, its like he catch pop rhythm, lost inspirations, can not compate whit Rainbow BS days seems band was desperate get replacment asap and musician connections, friendship did the job

Hard to choose, what an amazing career! Went with Rainbow in the end.

I voted for Rainbow, I don't really like Dio solo (but Last in the Line is an awesome album), also in Sabbs I preffer Ozzy or Tony Martin

His first 2 albums with Sabbath are slightly better than his first 2 solo albums, and I'm not an Elf fan.

When I think of Dio at his best, I always immediately think of "Stargazer", so my vote goes to Rainbow.
