That guy's almost 70 years old, smokes Marlboro reds like a chimney, did/does drugs of all sorts, drinks like a fish and he's still out there doing what he does. Amazing. One of those people that should have been dead a long time ago, kind of like Keith Richards, but somehow they survive.

I like all sorts of different types of music from ABBA to Metallica to Allen Jackson to the Go-Go's to Judas Priest but there's one type at the top of my list and on top of that list is this guy. Whether with his own band or as lead vocals in someone else's like Rainbow or Black Sabbath,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,DIO. Just my opinion for what it's worth. With inflation it's worth less and less every year, lol.

Almost all of the songs on the Black Sabbath album "Paranoid" are great (its their second album). "Paranoid" is the best known song from that album, but "War Pigs" (a personal favourite), "Iron Man" and "Fairies Wear Boots" are very strong tracks, but most overlook them in favour of "Paranoid" and "Iron Man" (because it was used at the end of the first Iron Man movie when the credits were rolling by). It use in the movie is a little strange, the movie Iron Man is a superhero, the Iron Man in the song track is a outcast, killer, and a generally not nice person.

the Iron Man in the song sacrificed himself to save mankind, and ended up petrified, and forgotten. He sought vengeance for their lack of undying gratitude. so more hero, then anti-hero, still I agree I thought it was a bit of a stretch to include it there

Fairies Wear Boots, another underrated great. gotta wait for the hook

Long version

I'll let y'all in on a little "trade secret" of mine. In my first mechanic's class (Power Mechanics, just basic small engine repair, diagnostic, rebuild, etc..) way back in the fall of '89, as a tall skinny 15 year old freshman in high school with skater bangs and a dirty jean jacket, after the first couple weeks of class work, then a couple weeks of shop time, the instructor would split the class up into half hour class time, half hour shop time. Except for class time you were on your own, you did whatever you had to do to prepare yourself for whatever it was you were going to be doing in the shop that day. Talk, study, research, whatever. He wouldn't even be in there. I'd always put my headphones on, and I found out after a while, that on Metallica's Master of Puppets cassette, if you stopped at the end of Sanitarium flipped it over and rewound for a few seconds you'd be at the beginning of The Thing That Should Not Be, and vice versa. They're both about 6:30, so if I flipped back and forth a few times, bam half hour, but more than that, it would get my head right, something about the rhythm, the tempo, the lyrics, the repetition it'd get my head right to think about what I needed to accomplish that day. It's almost meditative.

Short Version

If you listen to these two songs back to back to back to back to back, it's kinda trippy and around a half hour. (doesn't matter which one you listen to first)
