Geno Washington - Geno is a Coward

I stumbled on this somehow this week, I think maybe throw Reddit. I love the song though. It's just some good, classic rock.

Ronnie James Dio - Rainbow in the Dark

. . . don't judge me. I'm cool.

Dio invented the metal hand gesture.

\m/

Or stole it from his immigrant mother. And he was in Black Sabbath. He's got metal cred.

Kids these days don't know what cred is, sadly. "Eww. You like Blue Oyster Cult unironically? What's wrong with you?"

I like Don't Fear the Reaper sincerely and Godzilla ironically though I thought they were about as metal as Jethro Tull until you said some people think they're metal.

Eh. They flirted with some of the concepts of metal, though I don't think it'd be fair to call any of their albums "metal" (though Fire of an Unknown Origin did come pretty close). I just brought them up more along the lines of they're a good, classic band that had their day, but people don't give them credit anymore because they're definitely dated.

Personally, I don't think there's any reason to be ashamed of listening to Dio. Holy Diver is one of the few metal albums I can really get into.
