Ozzy Osbourne solo (vs) Black Sabbath w/ Ozzy (vs) Black Sabbath w/ Dio

SATCHMO · 08-05-2010, 06:12 PM

It was a toss up for me between Ozzy's career with Black Sabbath and his solo career. Ozzy's first 2 solo albums Blizzard of Oz and Diary of a Madman were both amazing and arguably on par or better than anything Sabbath ever produced but things started to go downhill musically after DOAM. You got to give him credit for having a career that has lasted as long as it has though, and still managing to be at least semi-relevant in the rock/metal world

I meant cheesy as in overly melodramatic, which most Motley Crue isn't. I guess cheesy can also mean cheap or something and I admit Motley Crue would fit that definition better than Dio. By the way, that "Wisconsin dairy farm" remark was awesome.

And VocalsBass, you're right about Vince Neil, he's a somewhat mediocre singer who's horrible live.

Definitely Sabbath w/Ozzy. Ozzy solo can be good at times but feels way too produced. Sabbath had an authentic feel. Technically, Ozzy's solo stuff is usually a tighter assortment of musicians, but Black Sabbath feels a tad bit less plastic. Plus, massive into Paranoid, and the first half of Sabotage.

Dio Sabbath is second because I like Dio, and Dio Sabbath is basically Dio. Just as Dio rainbow is basically Dio.

I like Ozzy solo, but really that's only Blizzard of Oz then a few hits scattered across the 80s. The rest of it is overproduced bull**** that Sharon and whatever studio producers Ozzy could be paired with(too busy snorting coke and ants) is probably more responsible for than Ozzy is anyway.

Plus, could Zakk Wylde keep his ****ing hands off his whammy bar for two seconds. To me, that was just ****ing annoying.

^ pinch harmonics have nothing to do with the whammy bar.

I'm completely with you on Sabotage though. The front side of that album is outstanding!

The first 5 and 1/2 albums of Sabbath aren't even touched by the other options here. Geezer owns the lyrics and Tony's early tones still set a standard today.

I've never enjoyed much Black Sabbath, Ozzy or Dio, but like both of their solo careers. I respect Sabbath, obviously, for what they did to break ground, but musically it never has appealed to me.

Probably, that was definitely not their finest work.

I would've said Ozzy with J. E. Lee.
