Rants From The Black Lodge: Episode 83 - Heavy Metal March Madness VI: DIO

The month of March brings to mind many things ranging from Leprechauns and St. Patrick’s Day festivities but to sports fans this month is special because of March Madness where Division 1 college teams duke it out for basketball supremacy... Here at the Rants From the Black Lodge Podcast we love our heavy metal and 2023 will continue our new tradition in the style of the famed NCAA single elimination tournament with a hard rockin’ twist. Tonight the Rant Army will album by album, song by song whittle down DIO’s stellar catalog to decide which head banging anthem will reign supreme. Album by album, each panelist will have 2 minutes to argue their pick for the best song and the tune with the most votes will advance in the tournament. In the event that each panelist picks a different song, there will be an elimination vote and the 2 remaining songs will be voted on with only one moving to the next round. This will continue until there is only one song left standing. Each album and song will be designated a random number to corollate with its bracket position to keep the match ups as unbiased as possible. So, crack the volume to 11 and let’s get ready to rock.
