Sign of the Southern Cross?! COME ON!!

Why even try to put a 40-year career on a mere two disc release? Try four discs and you would still miss a lot...

Where is The Man on Silver Mountain? Some of the others are forgivable, but you can't make a Ronnie James Dio career-spanning album and leave off one of the best songs of his career.

I was glad to see Black Sabbath's I on there, though. But there's not enough off Holy Diver on here, either. That was his best album, by far.

looks cool but for the hard core fans who have EVERY album this is kind of meh, they didnt even add live stuff

I don't care, I really don't... I'm a fan and respect him as much as the next guy, but I think this is a bit too much. The guy is dead, just make one hell of a compilation album/dvd and be done with it... I just feel like they're making money off of his death and it's not right.

God bless you Dio! Hard to believe it's been a year since his passing! R.I.P. 5/16/10
