didn't build that
In honor of the metal legend, who passed away yesterday morning, I thought we'd make a thread dedicated to Ronnie James Dio and his wonderful music. For those not up on the news:

This is a huge loss for metal, and music, fans everywhere. I wish his family the best. He was one of my favorite vocalists of all time, and a one-of-a-kind musical genius. He'll be rocking the great beyond now...
Post your favorite Dio/ Black Sabbath/ etc. songs here, too. First, my favorite:
"Last in Line": [link]
Last but not least, his band's flagship song, "Holy Diver": [link]
I consider this to be on-par with Johnny Cash's death; this man wrote pure metal without relying on shock tactics. It's just good music, perhaps the definitive example of its genre.
