luciusfunk Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 Sabbath with Dio. Sabbath with Dio over Sabbath with Ozzy, too. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bran Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 (edited) sabbath with dio destroys solo ozzy. sabbath with dio and ozzy is definitely my favorite band, my favorite era is dio by a small margin. Edited May 14, 2014 by bran Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crash Diet Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 Although Ozzy (and mostly Sharon) build up a succesfull solo career, BS with Dio is better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DR DOOM Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 I couldn't vote because IMO Ozzy had the upper hand in the 80's but Ronnie's Sabbath (and Ronnie in general) shamed Ozzy later on.Neither Heaven and Hell or Mob Rules are as good an album as Diary Of A Madman, IMO.I'd take Bark At The Moon over the 2 80's Dio Sabbath records too, or Born Again (which I love too, don't get me wrong)Dehumaniser vs No More Tears? Dehumaniser for me.In the 2000s? Sabbath with Dio or "Heaven and Hell" had it all over Ozzy solo, or even Sabbath with Ozzy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foghat43 Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 Voted Sabbath with Dio, and I'll take Dio solo (e.g. Holy Diver) over Ozzy solo also. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerage5 Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 Sabbath Dio. The Dio era of Sabbath ranks in my top 5 bands of all time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bran Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 Voted Sabbath with Dio, and I'll take Dio solo (e.g. Holy Diver) over Ozzy solo also.yeah solo dio kicks ozzy's ass all over the place. the first 4 solo dio albums each better than the first 4 solo ozzy albums. the last 3 solo dio albums blow away anything ozzy did in the last 10 years and that isnt even counting strange highways.

bacardimayne Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 Ozzy, but it's close. Randy Rhoads is almost entirely to credit.

moreblack Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 I don't know why people cream themselves so much for Diary, the songs are far less memorable than the ones on Blizzard. Even Randy's playing feels more phoned-in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even Randy's playing feels more phoned-in. Blizzard is more accessible. Diary is musically a more interesting album. Very dark. Randy's playing is far better on Diary. It's not just cool riffs and solos like Blizzard. It's really mindblowing stuff. Listen to the title track. I prefer that song alone to anything Black Sabbath ever did. The stuff he's playing on that song is just incredible. It's the best album Ozzy's ever done or will do, and one of the best albums ever if you ask me. The weakest song is Flying High Again.

LightningBolt Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 Ozzy, but it's close. Randy Rhoads is almost entirely to credit.Ozzy Sabbath > Rhoads Era Ozzy > Dio Sabbath/Heaven and Hell > Lee/Wylde Era Ozzy > Post-Dio Sabbath > Current Sabbath > Post-Wylde OzzyI think I agree with these rankings.Dio's voice is amazing, but idk his actual music just lacks variation (and thus tends not to be something I can go back to often) and his lyrics can be pretty terrible. I think Geezer Butler did Sabbath's lyrics until Dio joined, and I don't get why he took over lyric duties then. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bacardimayne Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 Randy was about as perfect a rock guitarist as you can get, but I just don't enjoy DOAM as an album that much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bran Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 manowar is the prototypical power metal band on the US side anway the genre gets stale after a while, but i really like blind guardian, helloween, iced earth namely. i like the thrash inspired stuff from those bands the best. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dalsh327 Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 (edited) Diary and Blizzard win out over Heaven and Hell & Mob Rules, but not by much. Devil You know wins out over Ozzy's later era albums. Edited May 18, 2014 by dalsh327 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
