[UseYourAppetite]

Ozzy Osbourne by an absolute fucking mile for me. I just love the guy, Black Sabbath Vol. 4 is my favourite Sabbath album, he's awesome

[Guest Satanisk_Slakt]

Ozzy of course.

[Powerage5]

Dio. You're a fool to think otherwise.

[Raw Power]

There must be a mistype of some sort, since the only true Sabbath-lineup includes Ozzy, Iommi, Bill and Geezer.

[Sweet Raptured Light]

So why is anybody other than Dio and Ozzy on this poll anyway?

[Black Sabbath]

The original obviously

[Spuffy78]

Dio in terms of vocals

But Ozzy era in terms of the band in general.

[mr. orangestone]
