2. The Sign Of The Southern Cross 14
3. Too Late (3rd Place)
4. Breaking Into Heaven (4th Place)

[BOGBLAST]

1. Heaven And Hell 7
2. The Sign Of The Southern Cross 15
3. Too Late (3rd Place)

[Zzzptm]

1. Heaven And Hell 8
2. The Sign Of The Southern Cross 13
3. Too Late (3rd Place)
4. Breaking Into Heaven (4th Place)

I'm actually leaning towards H&H at this point.

TSotSC is truly, truly epic... but it goes *inside* H&H because H&H is more epicer.

1. Heaven And Hell 6

H&H -  Best song of the Dio era and top 10 all time Sabbath songs.
SOTSC - 7th best of the Dio era.

Honestly I have to say I do prefer The Sign Of The Southern Cross, it's without a doubt one of my favourite Sabbath songs BUT Heaven And Hell is legendary, it's iconic, it's THE Dio era song that EVERYONE who knows anything about metal or Sabbath knows...so yeah, it deserves to win this!

Dio-era's "Paranoid", isn't it?

Dio-era's "Paranoid", isn't it?

Well sort of I suppose part from the fact that Paranoid is a dull overly simplistic number and Heaven And Hell is actually quite complex and anything but dull!

Not to mention when performed live, it's just otherworldly.

I think it's more the Dio era's Iron Man.

Or War Pigs I'd say...and the live versions are even better!

Yes, that's what I was reffering to as otherworldly in post #53

Indeed.
