I'm going to try keeping this within the limit of 5 songs only, though I love every single song from this era (and all others), from Wishing Well to Neverwhere. No sorry, except Walk Away, that's a mediocre song to me... anyway, at the moment this would be my top 5 for the Dio era:
1. Over and Over
2. Heaven and Hell
3. Computer God
4. Falling Off the Edge of the World
5. Die Young
Changes all the time though..."There in the middle of the circle he stands, searching, seeking, with just one touch of his trembling hand, the answer will be found.
Daylight waits while the old man sings, heaven help me! And then like the rush of a thousand wings, it shines upon the one. And the day has just begun..." (1975)
-Ronnie James Dio, Rest in Peace
"In the summer days we flew to the sun, on melting wings, but the seasons changed to fast, leave us all behind... Blind..." (1969)
- Jon Lord, Rest in Peace

1. I
2. Computer God
3. Heaven and Hell
4. Rock and Roll Angel
3. Die Young/Falling Off the Edge of The World (tie)To safeguard my philosophy until my dying breath
I transfer from reality into a living dead
I empathize with enemies until we’re dying right
With God and Satan at my side, from darkness will come light

IWell I don’t want no preacher telling me about the god in the sky
No I don’t want no one to tell me where I’m gonna go when I die
I wanna live my life, I don’t want people telling me what to do
I just believe in myself, ’cause no one else is true

Anything that Ronnie sang was great; it´s just that moods of the songs were different... Heaven and Hell´s The Devil You Know is great album, I was very pleased to hear it the first time!!! RIP RJD.

Sort of in order of preference:
Die Young
Mob Rules
Turn Up The Night
Falling Off The Edge Of The World
Neon Knights
Country Girl
Voodoo
Lonely Is The Word
Walk Away
Sign Of The Southern Cross
Children Of The Sea
My top 10 Dio-era songs are all from MR & H&H. Die Young is my absolute fave track, but I prefer the MR album over H&H. For what it's worth I rate the album version of Mob Rules way above the Heavy Metal soundtrack version.I don't need wings to reach the sky
And I don't need hands to hold you tight...

Given life to those who died. Look beyond your own horizons. Sail the ship of signs."

That about does it! Two of the best songs from any band called Black Sabbath in my opinion.

6. 'Children Of The Sea' ( Majestic AND dramatic simultaneously!).
5. 'Letters From Earth' ( A lost Sabbath classic...in my opinion. Great subject matter).
4. 'Falling Off The Edge Of The World' ( The best track off 'Mob Rules').
3. 'Neon Knights' ( The perfect introduction to Dio-era Sabbath!).
2. 'Computer God' ( Lyrically a WONDERFUL change for Ronnie!).
1. 'Die Young' ( Quintessential Dio-era Sabbath, and arguably Ronnie's GREATEST vocal performance of his career!).
Great lists everybody. Thanks BSO.

I guess Heaven & Hell is my favorite song of all time, but the rest are interchangeable really. And songs like Letters From Earth, Voodoo, Turn Up The Night,Over & Over, Mob Rules, TV Crimes and After All (The Dead) would make strong contenders for most of the songs I listed above."The consequence of conscience/Is that you'll be left somewhere/Swinging in the air"-Ronnie James Dio (1942-2010) R.I.P. King Of Metal
"Just take a look around you what do you see/Pain, suffering, and misery/It's not the way that the world was planned/It's a pity you don't understand" - Geezer Butler
"If god is in heaven/How can this happen here" - Phil Lynott (1949-1986)

Computer God (Very heavy, fantastic solos, and the lyrics are scary realistic. Written back in 91/92 and look where we're at today!)
Over and Over
Sign Of The Southern Cross
Lady Evil
Heaven & Hell
I
Too Late
Falling Off The Edge Of The World
Voodoo
Country Girl
Die Young
TV Crimes
Letters From Earth
Lonely Is The Word
Master Of Insanity
Shadow Of The Wind
Buried Alive (Extremely heavy track with great lyrics. Totally overlooked track for some reason. Another gem from Dehumanizer)
TDYK is a great album, but nothing really stands out as any of my very top favorite tracks of all time, sadly.
R.I.P. RJDIf the magic comes between us
And we never meet again
