I find that both of these artists are the apex of their craft, and that once I hear a song relating to either I immediately go "oh, wait, I should listen to nothing but songs by that person" for perhaps an hour or so. Paul Simon has the rhythm of the saints on his side, but Dio is the undisputed king of rock and roll.

Stargazer song was pretty cool, but then I was thinking 'this is probably almost over' and I switched back to YouTube to see there were 5 minutes left. I skipped ahead a couple times and they sounded very similar. Still, it's one of the more enjoyable metal songs I've heard.
I'm now on "Stand Up and Shout". Also a fairly good song.
And let me clarify... I had never heard of him until he died, and even when he did I really didn't look him up to see who he was. Not as a personal affront to him or his memory, but you know.
Also, of course you didn't like the song if you skipped ahead a few times V_V You need to meditate on what happened and the great injustice that was the building of the Wizard's tower. --- Set signature in options page.
If you absolutely must skip content in this one, the time change after 4:15 is basically the best musical thing: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4EL67mjv1nM --- Set signature in options page.
