It would be great if one of these days somebody could surprise us all and state that Sabbath`s best albums are Technical Ecstasy or Never Say Die or even albums like Born Again and the Glenn Hughes album Seventh Star.

Born Again does have its diehard defenders and fans, ya know

The problem with that album is that Ian Gillan didn`t fit in with the band and at times the album sounds lacklustre..........had they really gone for it with some belief it could`ve been very different.

I think the following Seventh Star album with Glenn Hughes to be a much better album.

i will eventually check out the RJ Dio Sab albums soon

Heaven and Hell and MOB Rules are absolute metal classics. He rejoined several years later with the Dehumanizer album (an album I`ve never heard) but now that I remember it will soon give it a listen.

Dehumanizer is a great album. Totally forgotten by most people, unfortunately.

What do you think of the Tony Martin albums, he practically sound like Dio?

there's also a pretty good Balck Sabbath but not quite Black Sabbath album with RJ Dio

2009's Heaven & Hell's The Devil You Know

Yer it was like a one-off reunion of the Sabbath Mob Rules line-up.

I wouldn't say that Dehumanizer is a Dio's best with Sabbath but it is the one I listen to the most actually. I absolutely love it. Real raw, no bull metal.

The Devil You Know was an acceptable album too. Nothing amazing but solid. And as has already been mentioned, it was the Mob Rules line-up. They just weren't allowed to use the Black Sabbath name. I think Ozzy has the rights to that now, doesn't he? Or something along those lines anyway.
