"Caught in the Middle" is not the first song most think of on Holy Diver, and of course it's not the iconic title track, but it's a fun, energetic, guitar forward tune I greatly enjoy. A great pairing with a cold beer and the start of the weekend.
Oh yeah, and that band you like, with that lead singer you dig? Dio is a better singer than that guy. Will put Dio up against anyone, anywhere, anytime.

I sometimes enjoy reading or hearing trained singers, like opera singers, critique popular music (e.g., The Charismatic Voice on Youtube), and without exception ALL of those people love Dio. In terms of technique and style, he's easily one of the best singers of modern times regardless of genre.
Have you caught Dreamers Never Die? If not, I recommend it. It's not mindblowing in execution, but the historical footage and stories are great, especially the Hear N Aid stuff.
I have not seen Dreamers Never Die... will check it out.
