Randy Rhoads was a brilliant player but he will ultimately be buried under the significance of the first two Ozzy solo albums.

We would have it, but in a different form. Tommy's playing didn't just influence metal! He influenced many people and many genres.
Like The Smiths didn't just influence indie.
Like The Pixies didn't just influence alternative.
Like The Beatles didn't just influence pop.
But in all honesty, I can name 10's of Ozzy songs... I can name one Dio... and that's because Killswitch covered it.
