I don't actually own this particular disc but I do own a number of Dio Cd's. The tracklist on this certainly seems to have covered most of the bases with a good cross range covering most of Dio's solo career. If the Disc is remastered, this could be a great addition for the car.

This cd is great! My favorite tracks are the ones taken from their first three studio albums: HOLY DIVER (1983), THE LAST IN LINE (1984), and SACRED HEART (1985). The rest is good too, but I don't like the last song STRANGE HIGHWAYS. Get it for the classics DIO's songs, but just push stop before the last one comes. Not really necessary listening to that song. (Well, only my opinion)

I agree...Cool compilation! But I think that they could have added more great songs on it instead of Lock Up The Wolves and Strange Highways...I just didn't like those two last songs on it. I just stop the cd player after I Could Have Been A Dreamer. They should have added songs like these: Don't Talk To Strangers, Egypt (The Chains Are On), Caught In The Middle...but in overall this is a great compilation if you are a new Dio fan and want an idea of how this band sounded like in it's past.

After picking up their first 6 cd's I decided to get this one. There are enough great tracks on here to satisfy my needs and stop me from switching cd's in and out of the player.
