Boy, this is a tough one, because many of Ronnie's strongest songs are album-openers. Many are worthy of this choice, but my personal fave is the Discovery/Magica Theme/Lord of the Last Day trilogy that kicks off MAGICA. I think it is perfect for the lead in to a concert and you can't really separate the 3 because of the actual connection between them.
As far as all DIO-related album-openers, I'd have to go with "Tarot Woman" from RISING followed closely by "Neon Knights" from HEAVEN AND HELL...

| I had to vote for Killing The Dragon although I love Wild One. That is just such an explosive track. Too bad that the rest of the LUTW album sucked... |

All Great songs, but Stand Up And Shout, set the standard for an opening song on a Dio album, so it gets my vote based on the first smack in the face from a solo Dio!!!! _________________ Check out Al Diamond Phillips/Nevermet on the web

I voted Stand Up and Shout. It's powerful, explosive, unifying...just classic Dio (of course). And the lyrics, to me, tell the world a lot about the band, their music, and their fans. _________________ "You'll never make me be like you. I'm Master of the Moon!" |

Went with Stand Up and Shout as it means the most to me all of the Dio songs and really sets the tone for what Dio is all about. _________________ Stand up and Shout!!!!! |

For me it is Night People, although it is hard to choose between that one and "We rock"... _________________ This is your life
