    One of my favorites from them, even if the first version I heard was the Yngwie Malmsteen cover. Nowadays I also like the Sorcerer cover.

      Yeah, even when it comes to Dio (the band) and Sabbath, this is probably one of my favorite songs with him on vocals.

      Stargazer, this, and Egypt (The Chains Are On) from The Last in Line also work well as a kind of unofficial “trilogy” due to their lyrical themes and general sound, blending in synths and guitar with some Middle Eastern influences.

      I also really like Yngwie’s cover as well.

      Whoa, I completely forgot about that. I was just on a Dio kick yesterday and ended up posting a few songs.

      Sorry about that! Didn’t mean to repost.
