Much respect their talent and influence, but I don't care to listen to it. Dio was the heavy metal prototype singer, so if you're into that type of singing, he's a legend.
As I said, I'm more into slow jammy bands or more elaborate progressive rock. Blues rock. Stuff like that. Given my tastes, it makes perfect sense.

Yeah, I'm not a big blues rock guy myself. I prefer more classically influenced stuff. To me, the ultimate "pure" metal bands are Judas Priest and The Scorpions during the 70's.
