How would you rate Dio's "Caught in the Middle"?

I think Caught In The Middle is awesome, myself...

Anyway, how can this NOT be on Bonnet's list......I mean seriously? As a vocal, is has much more to it than Hiroshima or Jet To Jet....

Amazing falsetto switches, unbelievable blending in the verses, and killer CLEAN highs in the choruses...

Yes, and there's also a surprising lack of love for "Starcarr Lane".

Starcarr Lane is crazy, some of the most incredibly phrased high singing I've ever heard.

I don't know, I never considered Insland In The Sun one of his best. Besides Hiroshima and Jet To Jet, there are also Starcarr Lane and Suffer me (and probably General Hospital) which are better performances from the same album.

^ Exactly what Wanted said.

Wait, seriously?
I mean, I respect your opinion, y'know that by now, but that's probably my favorite performance from Bonnet...ever! You have to admit - it's one of the few performances where he displays some very impressive falsetto, surprisingly good melismas (nothing that's Lambert or Cornell level, but still impressive), ace falsetto switches, clean belted highs, I mean...just because he's not screaming his head off, like in Jet To Jet, doesnt mean it's not an amazing performance.

When did this happen? I thought we all agreed that FWW is his masterpiece. I still think it is.

Plus, for Merc's list, I remember there was some talk about TSMGO being higher than Bo Rhap. Thank god we came to our senses and didnt let that happen.

Reach Down > Four Walled World IMO

I didn't edit it though.

FWW has a higher quantity of impressive singing.
Reach Down has a little more power, that's about it....

FWW has those incredible E5-F5 slides, amazing control. Killer dynamics as well...

Timi · **Posted:** Sun Nov 13, 2011 3:53 pm

"Reach Down" is more impressive IMO.

It was agreed way back in the old place that Reach Down should be #1. I have no strong opinion either way.

Lou Gramm, anyone?

"Jukebox Hero", "Heartache", "Angel with a Dirty Face", "I Want to Know What Love Is", "Prisoner of Love", "I'm Gonna Win", "Rev on the Red Line" and probably "I Can't Wait" are few tracks that should definitely be in his list. Any other suggestions, Sir?
