    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...

    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)

    Well 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.

    Heaven and Hell
    Neon Knights

    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.

    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.
