Yeah agreed. When I was 13, I thought Holy Diver was cool.
And I too prefer Last In Line.
Sacred Heart was already disappointing.
And when I saw them live on the Sacred Heart tour it was over for me. The infantile dragon that was supposed to be the impressive stage prop really put an end to the DIO era for me.
His lyrics made/make my toes curl in my shoes.
I do respect him as a vocalist. And I do not agree that he was a limited singer at all.
The criticism that Blackmore had about his falsetto can also be seen as a forte. He could sing with a lovely sweet and soft voice and seamlessly transform into the thundering roar that he also had under his belt. The quality of his voice was always excellent. Even towards the end of his career/life.
No, he couldn't shriek like Gillan or Bonnet. But is that really a standard to measure a good singer by?
Bonnet for example had/has zero dynamics. Everything he does is full out belting. A comparison with Gary Moore's guitar playing springs to mind if you can follow me there.
