Holy Diver rocks.   "Shame on the Night" has the definitive sound of
80s metal bass to me.

listen to _Holy Diver_ it still doesn't do that much for me.)

 

 

 

I thought "Holy Diver" was a good album. Vivian Campbell played some
amazing solos, Jimmy Bain played strong Geezer-like bass lines and
Dio's lyrics were good. "Last in Line" was a step down: I remember a
song called "Eat Your Heart Out" with really bad lyrics. I faded out
from there with Dio, Sabbath, Maiden, etc. Got out of the metal scene
into punk, alternative, etc.
