Get Rainbow Rising and Mob Rules. NOW!

Then get Strange Highways and Operation: Mindcrime II.

Consider getting Magica, but understand it's a very slow, very cheesy album. I like Angry Machines, but nobody else does, so you might want to skip that. Intermisison is "meh" at best. Rainbow's Long Live Rock 'n' Roll is a good album, pick that up... but don't rush. Screw ALL early Dio before Elf. Forget you even know about it. Consider getting Elf, but... don't. Live Evil is worth $5 used if you ever find it.

I like listening to his early stuff. Its funny..I can listen to his earliest work (Master of the Moon) and my grandpa can listen to Ronnie and the Redcaps...and we can both connect on the same artist.

I found Rainbow Rising and Long Live Rock & Roll at Best Buy. The Mob Rules I found in Coconuts. If you can't find them there, there's always Amazon.

Beware, Mob Rules gets a bit soggy near the the end.

Exactly. Everything else after the title track sounds like bad Rainbow leftovers. Especially Country Girl.

I love Country Girl, but Slipping Away annoys me.
