I used to have Heaven and Hell on 8 track tape, played it to death. I have to say that Neon Knights and Heaven and Hell are my favorites, but I loved them all. ------------- DEATH TO FALSE PROG! |

One of the best albums of all time, period.... My personal favourite is actually "Die Young" (love the lyrics too), with "Lonely Is the Word" as a close second (killer guitar solo by Tony I!). |

Too bad Mob Rules has only one good track, though
 1 Lonely Is The Word
2 Children Of The Sea
3 Heaven And Hell ------------- let's just stay above the moral melee prefer the sink to the gutter keep our sand-castle virtues content to be a doer as well as a thinker, prefer lifting our pen rather than un-sheath our sword |

An astonishing album, considering the poor Sabbath albums that preceded it and the compatability of Ozzy with Sabbath. Dio fitted like a glove (he did some excellent versions of some Ozzy material on 'Live Evil', imo). The title track is my favourite one here, but the riff was blatantly rehashed from a NWOBHM band Quartz that Iommi produced and keyboard player Geoff Nichols was in- the song was called 'Mainline Warriors' I believe. I really liked 'Mob Rules' too- in fact, it has arguably the ultimate Dio era Sabbath track, 'Sign Of The Southern Cross'. It was the last genuinely good Sabbath album until 'The Eternal Idol' in 1988!! |

Title track for the win.
An excellent album indeed, but I refuse to agree with those who say that Never Say Die was not an excellent release as well.

| I have to admit to liking "Mob Rules", though of course it is not on a par with H&H. "The Sign of The Southern Cross" is an absolute cracker! I also agree on "Live Evil", which is a great live album for all the rumours that surround it (like Dio tampering with the mix in order to have his voice higher than the other instruments). |

Wasn't that why he was driven out of the band? That's what I heard IMO.

| He also left because he wasn´t credited with his full name, they just said Ronnie Dio-Vocals |

It's such a great and consistent album - and I find it difficult to choose between the crushing "Turn Up The Night" and the chillingly atmospheric "Die Young". ------------- The important thing is not to stop questioning. |

the man is diminutive enough as it is, so he needed no shortening (or dimishing) of his name
  What a voice, though
  Raf: Sign Of The Southern Cross is the only thing I would keep on Mob Rules.
