YES! And one of my favorite cuts is 'Last in Line.' But, I've never heard one of his songs, solo, Sabbath or Rainbow, that didn't kick azz.

Monstrous talent! :thumbsup:

Holey Diver is a song vivid in my memory do to the song being on the Vision Quest sound track next to Red Rider Lunatic Frienge, that was my music in High School right before they anounced my name and wieght class for a wrestling match

Yeah, but I think Ronnie was the next best front man for them- they could not have picked a better one-

I had a lot of his stuff on vinyl, he was a brilliant rock singer. My favourites are time to burn, hungry for heaven, Holy diver and Mystery.

I had loads of stuff on vinyl including picture discs, but then I hit a rough patch saw a bloke on a market stall who came to my flat and I let him take what he wanted for �95. I couldn't look at my collection for years after that but when I did I was distraught. Yep the bloke ripped me off but desperate times call for desperate measures and all that, if I see an album I used to have on vinyl that's cheap on CD i sometimes buy it on impulse.
Vinyl is coming back in but they are over �20 each, I saw the new Blur album in my Local HMV last week and it was �25

I used to love buying vinyl especially if it had a gate fold sleeve. I have a turntable that I acquired through sad circumstances, my elderly neighbour passed away a few years ago. It still works but I wouldn't pay over �20 for an album when i can get the same CD for about a tenner. I lived with my folks when I used to buy vinyl so i had less to pay out back then, lol.

Thanks for stopping back by, Donny! I have found some good vinyl albums at Flea markets & yard sales around here, but they are never in good enough condition for me- noway Even if only a DOLLAR or Two! ohwell

No probs,I have just got into Cavalera conspiracy , being a big fan of Sepultura.I listen to all sorts, Jobs for a cowboy,Mastodon, Korn,Slipknot(Saw them two a couple of months ago in Sheffield),Battlecross, the list is endless. Looking forward to the new Darkness album out on the 1 June, saw them a while back as well. Got my ticket for Joe Satriani for November who i saw two years ago. He has a new album coming out in July.
Stay safe
